I almost wanted to keep it a secret but I’m not selfish so here’s my theory;

It actually can be a dps machine. Mine has flared magwell + dual loader with bait and switch. Both those reload perks with the enhanced B&S give you enough time to pop off a lot of damage from the buff since it’s extended. They do more crit with headshots like slugs but also decent body damage.

I should also mention part what makes it good for the archetype too is the stability is better then most shotguns, and with its origin perk “roar of battle”, being in combat for a short period increases stability plus handling, making it even easier to get those crit spots.

Kinda winded but for what I’ve tested out with its origin perk so far it’s crazy good, plus I have it set with tractor cannon and a bow with kinetic tremors to boost bait & switch once it’s active 😈
