CEL-3 Cauterizer

The CEL-3 Cauterizer, named Fusion Shotgun internally, is a directed energy, fully-automatic shotgun featured in the Exo Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Exo Zombies
It has three barrels, which rotate after being fired, and it fires the first two shots at a slow pace. After the second shot, the weapon will fire at full-auto until the gun runs out of ammo or the user lets go of the trigger. It is available via the 3D Printer, and all four players can wield it at once.

The CEL-3 Cauterizer is a high damage-dealing weapon; its hipfire accuracy is also effective, and the fully-automatic fire mode make the CEL-3 Cauterizer a very good shotgun, better than the S-12 which can also be acquired from the 3D Printer. Due to its one-handed nature, it can be used while downed, which is rather useful when covering teammates.

Due to its high damage (ability to one-hit kill zombies at round 20) and accuracy, and rather high reserve ammo for a shotgun, the CEL-3 Cauterizer is a worthwhile weapon. It is particularly effective against groups of zombies as it is able to kill multiple zombies with only one shot.

A fully-upgraded CEL-3 is a devastating weapon; at Mk10 upgrade, its magazine capacity increases along with the reserve ammunition, and now holds 24 rounds per magazine. The CEL-3 is therefore highly effective against groups of zombies. Past round 40, it becomes less useful, and it may be better to trade it for a MAHEM or a Crossbow, which deal more damage to crowds of zombies.
