The Basics

The game begins with you sitting at a table with your opponents. The turn order is in a particular direction. At the beginning of the first round, the shells of the shotgun will be loaded and players will be told the exact amount of live and empty shells. Quite easy huh? No, it is not. Because you won’t be told their order.

Kill or Die or Save

During the very first phase, no items will be distributed and the game will begin after the shotgun has been loaded. Whoever gets the first turn has the option to either shoot their opponent or shoot at themselves. Now for those who are unfamiliar with the game and are just staring at the screen with a “Why the hell would they shoot themselves?”, let me tell you, if you shoot yourself and it’s an empty shell, then you get an extra turn. Now this extra turn might seem minimal but it’s a game-changer in difficult situations.

So, here’s how it goes. If it’s your first turn, then you either choose to shoot at your opponent or yourself.

• If you shoot at your opponent, and it’s a live shell, then your opponent will lose one life.
• If you shoot at yourself, and it’s a live shell, you too will lose a life, no partiality.
• If you shoot at your opponent, and it’s an empty shell, then congratulations, your opponent has used up his luck and you just wasted your turn and lost a life as well.
• If you shoot at yourself, and it’s an empty shell, then you have been saved and VOILA! You get an extra turn.

Health Mechanics

Players should keep a close eye to their health bar, which is on the right side of their table. You will start off with 5 lives which will keep decreasing as you get shot at. After a certain point of time, a pair of cutting pliers will move over to your health bar wires and if you lose any more health after that, those pliers will snap and cut off your bar’s wires. And this unfortunately means that you will no longer be able to heal after that.

Items

Now this is where the Buckshot roulette differs from the Russian Roulette game. The items in this game give the whole gameplay a thrilling edge. Players will be rewarded with a box full of items on the beginning of every round after the first one. The items and their use has been listed below:

Healing Bottle

This green bottle with a first-aid sign on it is a life-saver and the most important item in the game. As you can already guess, this item is used to heal the player and it can give the player one HP point per bottle. Now, keep in mind, if your bar’s wires has been cut, then this item is of no use to you. In the original game, the healing is done by smoking cigarettes, but Roblox made this one a little more real because come on. Cigarettes don’t heal.

Magnifying Glass

Now you might be wondering, what is a magnifying glass doing in a game which is mostly about shooting and killing? Well, here is your answer. This seemingly mundane items is actually one of the best items in the game. Using a magnifying glass will present a breaking animation first and after that, you will be able to see whether the shell is live right now or not. Personally, if you find your opponent using this item, just know you are about to get shot at.

Beer

This item is quite similar to the healing bottle but it’s use is entirely different. If you use this item, whatever shell is in the shotgun, whether it is a live or an empty one, it will immediately get ejected.  Now, a lot of players deem it as the most useless item in the game, but personally, I think that is false because you get to keep your turn while also losing a bullet. That is not so bad. It is recommended to use Beer when charges are low but there are more live rounds in the shotgun.

Handsaw

This cool-looking knife is one of the most destructive items in the game. Using this item, will cut off the shotgun’s barrel which means the damage from it will be doubled. But this will only be the case if the shell in the shotgun is live. If its not, then its just a wasted item.

Adrenaline

Now this is one of the interesting items. See an item you want but your opponent has it? Well, the adrenaline comes in handy in situations like this. You can use it to steal any of your opponent’s table, from right under his nose and he won’t be able to do anything about it. But here’s the catch, whatever item you steal, will have to be used immediately.

Handcuffs

Getting a little kinky and more immersed into the game, we have Handcuffs. And they have more use than merely keeping your opponent chained up. Using handcuffs restricts the chosen opponent player for two turns. Now, this may seem like a small time but during tough gameplays, when the HP is low, this can come in quite handy.

Burner Phone

Now this item is similar to the magnifying glass, but a lite version. Using the burner phone will reveal a shell, not the current, but a future one. While this does give you an advantage over the opponent, it doesn’t really work in the current situation and is better as a future measure in the game.

Polarity Inverter

Now this weird-looking machine is the simplest yet weirdest of all items. Using this, you can shift or convert the order of the shells. Which means that if the next shell was an empty one, then it will be a live one and if it was a live one before, then vice versa.
