Tactical Information

• The Halt's magazine tubes are independent from each other. Swapping the tubes by using the Weapon Wheel can help avoid a reload in dire situations.
  • Due to this, Helldivers are advised to ensure both tubes are loaded before engaging in combat.
  • Shells share the same reserve ammo pool. Helldivers should prioritize what shells they immediately need if they're low on ammo.
• Stun rounds can be used to effectively stall enemies when you need to reload your flechette tube.
  • Using stun rounds on decapitated charging Brood/Alpha Commanders is a good tactic to completely halt their berserk charge, providing time to switch to a Support Weapon to finish them off or to retreat.
  • Using stun rounds on any form of Overseer will give you plenty of time to switch to the P-4 Senator, Anti-Materiel Rifle, or even the Railgun and line up a shot at their head, killing them instantly.
• The Halt has significant spread which is slightly better than the SG-225IE Breaker Incendiary. Therefore, it is ill-advised to engage enemies at medium range as most of your pellets will not hit your target.

Trivia

• Both the Slugger and SG-20 Halt are the only shotguns to feature rifled barrels for better projectile velocity and accuracy. However, the Halt does not fire any slug rounds, making its rifling redundant.
• The Halt's overall appearance and ability to switch between two magazine tubes are seemingly inspired by the KelTec KSG shotgun.
