Valley Prison Saiga 12K stats make it one of the premier high-level close-quarters weapons available exclusively to the Escapee team in the Roblox experience Valley Prison. Reaching unlock status at Level 95, this semi-automatic magazine-fed shotgun delivers up to 40 damage on body hits and up to 60 damage on headshots, paired with a wide spread of 12 and a 10-shell magazine capacity.
Because the in-game armory menu does not display all numerical stats for the Saiga 12K, documented details rely on community testing and game item database records. Below is the complete confirmed statistical profile for the weapon.

How to Unlock the Saiga 12K
The Saiga 12K requires players to reach Level 95 on the Escapee team. It cannot be equipped by Department of Corrections staff or State Police officers.
First added to Valley Prison during Major Update V2.5.75 (August 18, 2025), the weapon is designed as an endgame firearm for experienced Escapee players seeking sustained close-quarters firepower rather than the single-shot reload mechanisms of earlier shotguns.
Performance Analysis and Handling
Damage and Multipliers
Unlike traditional pump-action shotguns in Valley Prison that deliver high single-shot impact (such as the Model 590's 70 body and 140 headshot damage), the Saiga 12K trades single-pellet punch for rapid semi-automatic cycling. A clean torso hit delivers 40 HP, while headshots max out at 60 HP.
Spread and Pellet Mechanics
The Saiga 12K features a wide pellet spread value of 12, higher than the KSG-12 (8), Model 590 (7), and Toz 106 (1.6). This wide spread makes the weapon less effective over medium-to-long distances but highly forgiving in tight corridors, cellblocks, and crowd-clearing scenarios against clustered groups of officers.
Magazine Reload vs. Tube Loading
One notable mechanical advantage of the Saiga 12K is its detachable 10-shell box magazine. Shotguns like the Model 590 require incremental loading (2 seconds per shell, taking up to 16 seconds for a full reload from empty), whereas the Saiga 12K performs a full 10-shell magazine swap in a flat 5.0 seconds.
Recoil Profile
Both community wiki logs and player gameplay reviews classify the Saiga 12K's recoil as moderate. While manageable during paced shooting, spamming the semi-automatic trigger at close range causes noticeable muzzle rise that requires manual pull-down compensation.
Saiga 12K Compared to Other Valley Prison Shotguns
The following table compares the documented primary shotguns available across different teams in Valley Prison:
| Shotgun | Usable Teams | Unlock Level | Body DMG | Headshot DMG | Spread | Mag Size | Reload Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saiga 12K | Escapee | Level 95 | 40 | 60 | 12 | 10 shells | 5.0s (magazine) |
| Model 590 | Common (CO, SP, Escapee) | Level 0 (SP) / 5 (CO) / 15 (ESC) | 70 | 140 | 7 | 8 shells | 2.0s per shell (16s total) |
| KSG-12 | Corrections (CERT) | Level 15 | 60 | 120 | 8 | 12 shells | 2.0s per shell (24s total) |
| M1014 | Corrections (CERT, SWAT) | Team dependent | 55 | 110 | 7 | 8 shells | 1.5s per shell (12s total) |
| Toz 106 | Escapee | Level 40 | 70 | 140 | 1.6 | 5 shells | 4.0s |
| Terminator | Escapee | Level 0 | 200 | 400 | 10 | 1 shell | 4.0s |
While the Saiga 12K has lower single-shot damage numbers than the Model 590 or Toz 106, its 10-round detachable magazine and fast semi-automatic fire rate give Escapees rapid room-clearing utility during prison facility raids.
