Is the Starter Shotgun Good?

[TheDarkAssassin]

By the starter shotgun, I mean the $800 one. Is it good? How so? What do you think of the freeze? What is it good for? Is it worth using?

I best some pbp pleb with it once, you should've seen the threats he sent me.

Haha, yeah its the best shotgun if you know how to use it. It stacks

What does stack mean again?

[MikeyUK]

Take each bullet which does 2 damage each I believe. If all 4 bullets fired from the shotgun hit someone, it would do 8 damage total (4 • 2= 8)

A shotgun like the PBP shotgun doesn't stack (I think, I'm not weapons expert)

PBP stacks...

[Greeze]

PBP and AA12 stack, I reckon

So can you explain the pros and cons of both stacking and not stacking?

Most stack guns have a high freeze, but it can also hurt your opponent more than a rifle or auto.

Would you consider the starter shotgun a high freeze or low freeze? Which is better in terms of damage?

Here is a stat comparison for both the starter shotgun and the PBP shotgun:


Shotgun: $800 ($1600 for dual)
Dual: Yes
Damage: 1 (5 total with stacked bullets) (10 damage when in perfect condition)
Spread: 0.15
Freeze: 0.15
Freeze (Dual): 0.15
Fire Rate: 0.45
Fire Rate (Dual): 0.45
Reload Freeze: 0.35-0.15
Auto: No
Clip: 20
Clip (Dual): 20
Stacked


PBP Shotgun: $125000
Dual: No
Damage: 3 (12 total with stacked bullets) (16 damage when in perfect condition)
Spread: 0.15
Freeze: 0.4
Fire Rate: 0.4
Reload Freeze: 0.23-0.5
Auto: No
Clip: 20
Stacked


As you can see the starter shotgun is overall a pretty good weapon for its cost. Even compared to a gun that is $124200 more than it, it seems to have better stats for the most part. The PBP fires 4 bullets each doing 3 damage so that beats the starter shotgun which shoots 5 bullets doing 1 damage each. So the PBP is better in terms of damage but the starter shotgun is better overall.



Is it good? I would say it's an ok gun, wouldn't use it for 1 on 1.

How so? It isn't a very fast gun so i wouldn't consider it the best gun in its class.

What do you think of the freeze? I think it has pretty low freeze.

What is it good for? The shotgun is good for light pking and possibly basing. I wouldn't use it for sparring due to its fire rate.

Is it worth using? I wouldn't use this gun as a primary because it could be easily defeated with a faster gun.
