Scary Baboon Reimagined Sawed-Off Shotgun: What It Is and Whether It's in the Game

What the sawed-off shotgun is

The sawed-off shotgun is an item in Scary Baboon Reimagined, the Roblox horror survival experience by VertexLabs. It is one of the game's newest pieces of content: it was introduced in the Mimic Update, announced through the game's community announcements under the headline “MIMIC UPDATE OUT NOW!!”, and the announcement was still recent when this page's information was gathered — the listing showed it as posted about a week earlier. The Mimic Update was announced as live about a week before this page's information was gathered, and the shotgun was added as a new item in it; nothing further about its availability since is covered by that announcement.

The announcement's own wording also settles what kind of content the shotgun is. It is labeled an item — the same slot as the discobomb that shipped alongside it — which separates it from the update's other additions: the Mimic is a new monster, and the 2 new game passes are a separate purchase category. What the summary line does not say is whether obtaining the shotgun involves one of the new game passes.

Everything the Mimic Update added

The Mimic Update announcement summarized the whole drop in a single line: “New Mimic monster, sawed-off shotgun item, discobomb item, 2 new gamepasses & bug fixes!” Broken out, the update delivered:

• A new Mimic monster
• The sawed-off shotgun as a new item
• A discobomb item
• 2 new game passes
• Bug fixes

Each addition has its own coverage if you want to keep reading: the new monster is covered in our Scary Baboon Reimagined monsters guide, the other new tool on the discobomb page, and the pass additions in the game passes overview.

What the announcement confirms — and what to expect

What the Mimic Update announcement firmly establishes is that the sawed-off shotgun was added to Scary Baboon Reimagined as a new item, and that it arrived in the same update as the Mimic monster, the discobomb, 2 new game passes and bug fixes — an update the game's community announcements promoted as live about a week before this page's information was gathered. The announcement's summary does not break out per-item details such as damage, range or how the gun is obtained, so it works as confirmation that the shotgun was added to the game rather than as a stat sheet for it.

If you are planning a loadout around the newer tools, the all items page lists the rest of the game's item pool, the best gear guide compares what is worth carrying, and news of further updates is tracked on the updates page.
