The Sinking City 2 Guide | How to Get the Field Surgeon Shotgun

The Field Surgeon is the first shotgun you can obtain in The Sinking City 2. It can be found in Chapter 2: The Wake-Up Call, inside The Silver Eel near the dead whale and the Fire Department. Make your way through the Safe Room and behind the bar to find the Field Surgeon waiting on the wall.

The Field Surgeon Shotgun is one of the most useful early weapons in The Sinking City 2, particularly for close-range encounters. Unlike the Equalizer Mk. II, which you receive at the beginning of the game, the Field Surgeon must be found during Chapter 2.

You can reach it shortly after arriving in the area with the dead whale blocking the canal. If you're following the main story, this is also around the time you'll begin working on the broken crane and looking for a way to clear the path forward.

Where to Find the Field Surgeon Shotgun

The Field Surgeon Shotgun is located inside The Silver Eel, a bar near the Fire Department in Chapter 2.

After reaching the area with the dead whale, dock your boat and head toward the nearby bar. The entrance may initially be blocked, but after progressing through the area and dealing with the enemy encounter, you'll be able to enter the building.

Once inside, look for the Safe Room. This provides a convenient checkpoint before continuing toward the weapon.

How to Get the Field Surgeon

The Field Surgeon Shotgun is mounted on the wall behind the bar. Walk up to it and interact with the weapon to add it to your inventory.

The Field Surgeon is located behind the bar inside The Silver Eel, and you can collect it by simply interacting with the shotgun on the wall.

Field Surgeon Shotgun Tips

The Field Surgeon is particularly effective against enemies that get too close or have large health pools. Its high close-range damage makes it a useful backup when the Equalizer Mk. II isn't enough to stop an enemy quickly.

However, shotgun ammunition is more limited than standard pistol ammunition, so avoid wasting shells on weaker enemies when you can safely handle them with your pistol.

The shotgun becomes especially valuable in narrow rooms and other areas where enemies can quickly close the distance.
