It is recommended that you immediately upgrade the Damage of your shotgun once it is available. The firepower of your shotgun is already strong by default, but upgrading its damage will further increase its effectiveness when dealing with the tougher enemies that you will encounter.
Upgrading the Stability and Reload Speed will not matter much, since you will be using the Double Barrel Shotgun in mid to close-range fights where you will take out most enemies with one shot most of the time. Upgrade them only if you have extra parts.
The Double Barrel Shotgun can deal massive damage on close-range fights, especially if you are against the tougher enemies like the Shambler or Bloaters. Using the Double Barrel Shotgun against them will help you take them out faster when fired at point-blank, or when used with the Incendciary Shells from the Firearms Skill Branch.
Also, if you find yourself in situations where the enemies have you surrounded, it is a good idea to use the Double Barrel Shotgun because of its powerful piercing shots and large spread, which can take down multiple enemies at once.
You'll find the double barrel shotgun in Seattle Day 1 - Hostile Territory (chapter 6). At the shop with chinese vase, it is placed behind the cash register.
