The Le Fusil Terribles is the best shotgun in Fallout 4, as it has the highest damage output out of all shotguns because of its unique effect of 25 percent more damage and limb damage. This allows you to obliterate your enemies in a single shot due to its increased firepower.

Justice

Justice has a chance to stagger your foes, meaning you can stun and render them immobile for a few seconds, which lets you land some free easy hits while they're paralyzed.

This shotgun is the best when going up against Deathclaws and other strong enemies in the game, as you won't have to worry that much about them harming you due to your staggering ability.
