Alan Wake 2 Where to Find And Unlock the Sawed-Off Shotgun:
The Sawed-Off shotgun is unlockable very early on in Alan Wake 2. After completing Chapter 1 and starting Chapter 2, you’ll head back to Cauldron Lake to try and track Nightingale. Follow the story path, restoring power to the Witch’s Hut, eventually leading to the General Store to locate the heart of Nightingale.
Once you enter, a few scenes will play out, and a Cultist Taken will spawn that you have to deal with. Looking at where they spawned, the Sawed-Off Shotgun is located in the far back right.
The Sawed-Off Shotgun will be in a display case with a combination lock. You’ll have to find the combination, with a hint telling you to check with Lady Fortuna at the counter. Before you head there, look directly below the Sawed-Off Shotgun towards the ground to see some filing cabinets. There’s an inventory upgrade here to expand your inventory. Pick it up, then head to the counter in front of the store.
There’s a cash register; go to it, and you’ll see a note with scratched-out combination numbers and a lottery ticket.
The hint is that the combination starts with seven always, with the other two going down the lottery number—so 705, 713, 717, 723. The latest combination would be 739. Head back to the Sawed-Off Shotgun case, input this number in the combination lock, unlocking it and giving you the Sawed-Off Shotgun.
Congrats, you now have the Sawed-Off Shotgun as part of your arsenal! If you turn around and head towards the freezer with the heart, there is a red toolbox with some Shotgun ammo. It’s only two bullets, so use it wisely until you find more.
