The Lever Shotgun is the Flanker's default primary weapon. It is a Winchester 1887 lever-action shotgun with a sawed-off stock. It has a tube-capacity of 5+1, firing 10-pellets per shell.
Compared to the normal pump-Shotgun used by other classes, the Lever Shotgun's damage ramp-up is increased by 50%, surpassing the 100-damage threshold.
It has a reskin called the Mule Mauler 600, which was originally a unique weapon itself at some point.

Tips
General Tips
- With a 6-shell capacity, the Lever Shotgun is very reliable in prolonged combat. However, it does have a long-ish reload, with the initial shell taking longer due to having to open the breech with the lever first.
- Due to the higher ramp-up than other shotguns, the Lever Shotgun deals massive damage in close range; landing all pellets with maximum ramp-up deals 105 damage, instead of 90 from the pump-shotgun, allowing you to kill a max-health Brute in three shells, unless overhealed. All other classes go down in 2 shots.
- A trick on novices is to reload mid-way through your tube to trick enemy Flankers to go in thinking you have a long-reload.
- Because of shotguns having low damage at long-range, avoid giving away the element of surprise until you've closed the distance, or use your Pistol.
- A more efficient way of landing meatshots is to strafe left and right while approaching an enemy, firing as the crosshair crosses the opponent rather than aiming with your mouse. This helps you focus on your movement and simplify aiming.
Vs. Bosses Tips
- Combined with the Witches Brew you can deal up to 140 damage per shot.
- Be completely ready before using the Witches Brew, as you only have a short time to deal damage in, and reloading even 1 shell takes longer with having to open the breech first.

Trivia
- This weapon was previously known as Hexshot.
- In Typical Colors 1 however, this weapon was simply known as Shotgun.
- It was also a semi-automatic or pump-action shotgun instead of a lever-action.
- In Typical Colors 1 however, this weapon was simply known as Shotgun.
- Being an 1887 lever-shotgun without a stock that is flip-cocked after reloading is in reference to the Terminator 2: Judgement Day movie. However, the lever isn't enlarged.
- The 2016 model of the weapon is taken from a Team Fortress 2 mod named The Lever Blaster.
- The early 2016 model is the exact same model except it lacks proper textures.
- The Lever Shotgun has a rare inspect animation where the Flanker rests the weapon on his shoulder and threatens the enemy.
