The Jackhammer is a fully-automatic shotgun available in Far Cry. It is first found in the beginning of the level Bunker (although ammunition for the weapon is available in the earlier Treehouse level).

The Jackhammer has excellent stopping power at close range and a high rate of fire, with a magazine capacity of ten rounds. It is arguably the best weapon in the game for close quarters combat (though the P90 comes a close second), and is most effective against unarmoured enemies (such as Trigens) and can kill most enemies in one shot. As would be expected with a shotgun, its effectiveness is limited to close range, and the Jackhammer is a poor choice for fighting out in the open.

Ammunition is uncommon throughout the game thus the player should it sparingly, especially at the last part of Volcano.

Far Cry Classic

In Far Cry Classic, the Jackhammer has been given a new model, featuring a sand camouflage pattern on the body. Like all non-scoped weapons in Far Cry Classic, it is now possible to use the weapon's iron sights for more accurate shooting.
