12ga Rubber Slugs
12ga Rubber Slugs are common shotgun shells in DayZ used by shotguns. Each shell fires one rubber slug, stacks up to 10 shells, weighs 25 g, spawns in police, farm, hunting, village, and town loot, and deals high shock damage without health or blood damage.
Quick item summary
Quick answer
12ga Rubber Slugs are a type of less-lethal shotgun ammunition in DayZ. Unlike buckshot, which fires multiple pellets, each rubber slug fires one single projectile. Rubber slugs deal no health or blood damage, but they deal very high shock damage, making them useful for knocking targets unconscious rather than killing them. They offer better range than buckshot, but require more accurate aim because each shell only fires one projectile.
