I never knew Combat shotguns had a special reload. I always just waited until I was in a sort-of-safe area and then pounded the reload button. I'm assuming special reload takes less time then loading 5 shells manually, so I'll have to remember that.

sn0rb:
Yeah, the Combat Shotgun, Double Shotgun, Plasma Rifle, Pistol, and BFG each have a special reload.

Pistols- Reload both pistols (Requires Dualgunner Trait and, obviously, two Pistols- one in the Weapon slot, and one in the Prepared Weapon slot.)
Combat Shotgun- Refills the magazine completely. Takes more time than usual.
Double Shotgun- Reloads one barrel instead of both. Does less damage, but takes less time.
Plasma Rifle- Overload. Fires the entire magazine dry, then destroys the rifle!
BFG- Overload!. Empties the entire magazine for more splash radius, and +20 damage.

Zeb:
I only knew about the PR and the BFG. The BFG overload destroys the BFG as well, right?

Blade:
Maybe we should stick this post, because that would simplify process of finding useful tips and DooMRLWiki for new players? And they all can post here their questions about the basics of the game, so future players won't need to search on forum or start new topic for already answered question.)
