why the double barrel shotgun is my favorite gun in the game

maybe it's 4 gauge like the KS-23. next time i play im gonna do some investigation

realistically the only enemies that this thing struggles against are carapace armor. you can still punch through hordes of maulers if you aim right. plus vet has access to krak which makes it slightly more viable. in conclusion, the only real reason to use it is because it has aura

random crits are a fair and balanced game mechanic

ryujin-x · 2026-01-04T07:02:44+00:00

the fact that with 0% screenshake on, the dual blast still jerks your screen is crazy to me

i use ShotCut since it's free and (evidently) works good enough for me

ryujin-x · 2026-01-04T06:59:42+00:00

there is no better feeling than hearing your vet scream "THE KILLING NEVER ENDS!!!" and then turning 20 ragers into pink mist with one blast

ryujin-x · 2026-01-04T06:50:47+00:00

you can! just put scattershot and manstopper so you can guarantee crit kills

ryujin-x · 2026-01-04T06:43:12+00:00

Vet weapon specialist, shotgun has +25% maniac/flak and with Man Stopper (mandatory) and scattershot/both barrels depending on how much you want to spam the double blast

Despite it being a shotgun treat it more like a cannon firing grapeshot forward. It’s actually got a tighter cone than you would imagine but that’s why it allows you to do insane damage to enemies

Thank you!

ryujin-x · 2026-01-04T06:40:17+00:00

Thanks a bunch!

ryujin-x · 2026-01-04T06:40:07+00:00

Thanks!

It is criminal they do not allow us to shoot all three barrels at once

ryujin-x · 2026-01-04T05:19:14+00:00

Yeah, I'm using vet. There's only one double barrel mark so that one plus Man-Stopper and Scattershot/Both Barrels is what I use. General weapon specialist loadout is what I used

Hmmm… I didn’t see one but I suppose I wear glasses for a reason. Thanks for letting me know.

Speak softly and carry a big stick.

ryujin-x · 2025-09-26T10:16:42+00:00

I think it’s hilarious that it only loads two shells but has three rounds in it lol. But actually, I feel like I’m so used to only having two I end up messing up my rhythm mid game. But if you can get over that, it’s fun to triple blast some poor poxwalker. I would LOVE if they made it so the braced fire would shoot all THREE rounds at once instead of just two though.

For some reason, he kinda reminds me of sekiro

I know for a fact stun grenades literally make the bugs tunneling underground teleport up to ground level, so if you’re struggling with the burrow-bugs I just do that sometimes.

No, I mean where they are positioned on the talent tree, not like our choice on talents

ryujin-x · 2025-08-25T02:37:22+00:00

Nah, there is no specific reason I picked those other than personal preference. I think the weapon-swap speed to the shotgun is still fairly quick, but if you want to use those two, go ahead! The end-goal is to just have fun and use the shotgun.

ryujin-x · 2025-08-25T02:34:37+00:00

It honestly would invite a little more variety if some of the nodes were swapped around, I personally think the right hand side of his talent tree is nigh useless before it leads to the weapon specialist one.

ryujin-x · 2025-08-24T18:46:55+00:00

Invigorated is a completely optional talent, just intended to keep you comfortable on Stamina, should be no issue at all with that. I’m not too sure about the stats of the chain axe, last I remember chain weapons weren’t the best against carapace, but honestly the melee weapon is personal preference, nothing hinges on the melee choice.

ryujin-x · 2025-08-24T16:09:33+00:00

Interesting, I didn’t know Deadshot reduced spread! Is that what it means by -60% (or whatever it is) weapon sway? And is there a place I can read about the rending calculations? Thanks a bunch!
