Human Weapon Guide

[_Equilibrium_]

The shotgun is the most important human weapon in the game.  Games are made and broken with the shotgun.

amen.

especially in CWs

 
Yeah, thanks for demonstrating it to me.

i think your dretch had a magnet stuck to it. it seemed to be attracted to my shotgun. 'twas quite strange.

At first, I loved the shotgun. Now with more experience I find myself more and more sticking to the rifle as long as possible during S1. This is because the rifle is much better to kill dretches than the shotgun and it has nearly the same damage potential as the shotgun. The only problem is the reload time.

Since the best way to win for humans at stage 1 is to get as many kills as possible to reach stage 2, rifle is better than shotgun. Use it to kill as many dretches as possible, and if you find a goon in the way, either you have a few teammates with you which means the "reload problem" of the rifle will be less annoying, or you'll die and lose 0 credits in the operation As long as you kill a few dretches before that happens, things are going as planned.

Agreed. During S1 you should be shooting not buying (unless it's larmor or a lasgun). But late-comers can get more dretches later in the game with a shotty sometimes. I've gone out with a shotgun instead of a helmet in S3 just to draw dretches so I can BLAM! them and then go get a better gun and a helmet. LOLz

disagree. shotgun takes 1 shto to kill a dretch, so better chance of not getting hurt. plus, if you run into a goon, you stand a better chance.

this being, of course, once you got a decent handle of the game. newbies should stick to the rifle in s1.

I'll try it! Against the goons that is. Against the dretches it is to love.

Las Gun: No clip, so you can fire it non stop unless it runs out of ammo. Weak and slow rate of fire. This is a 'projectile' weapon, so it has a less than instant travel time.  Use an upgrade only.

Lasgun is instant hit, the travelling projectile effect is an illusion.

I wrote that about a year ago. I know better now.

The shotgun has the best burst damage of all S1 weapons.  But its not that good.  The problem is that if you want to attack, you will probably be solo.  In that case,  you will need every bit of the 56 damage per shot.

exactly but if you are alone my best recommendation so far with 550 creds on stage 3 is bsuit and shotgun it is very effective against adv goons and trapped tyrants until get chain gun (me) + =  :wink:
