One of the most powerful weapons in Jagged Alliance 3 is there to spit 12-gauge shells and here is how to obtain it.

Most non-unique weapons can be found all over the place in Jagged Alliance 3 but you don't have a guarantee you will loot exactly the one you're looking for.

Thankfully, there are a few exceptions to the rule and AA-12 is one of them.

Haemimont placed it in a few locations, one of them allowing you to loot it rather early into the game.

AA-12 fixed locations in Jagged Alliance 3

You can find AA-12 in two fixed locations:

  • The Good Place (L6)
  • Freeloader's Cavern (C20U)

In The Good Place location, you will need to fight through the prison guards and once you've cleared the upper level of the sector, you will need to talk to Jackhammer, whom you defeated in his office. He will try to make a deal with you but if you want the AA-12 just go and execute and loot him. Don't feel, he is all kinds of evil.

As for the Freeloader's Cavern, the place on the map will be called Stone Stairs instead. Go there and descend the cliff to arrive at a small beach that leads to the cavern's entrance. Go in there and preferably kill all hostiles before looting the place. The AA-12 is not in a container or an enemy - it will be placed on a stack of chests and if you highlight all interactive objects (default L-Alt), you will spot a gun that has the correct outline. Loot it and you're good to go.

AA-12 can go through your shell stockpiles rather quickly so make sure you close the distance to the enemies to maximise damage with it. Alternatively, you can always use the single-shot firing mode.
