i often play with people who have no idea what they’re doing and can’t keep up with dps, so i need a weapon to do extra total damage after dumping heavy ammo. also would be useful for low man raids

#

btw, swap weapons like izi is not what i’m looking for. instead, more weapons like merciless that are less situational

white shell
#

rapid fire fusions with damage perks like controlled burst or vorpal

#

So scatter signal and Cartesian coordinate

#

Slug shotguns like heritage and rapid fire snipers (supremacy) for lots of ammo

#

or high impact snipers like succession

gusty oasis
#

was about to say Supremacy with 4th times and rewing is pretty nasty for secondary dps

#

correct

glass spoke
#

why both 4th times and rewind

white shell
#

infinite ammo

glass spoke
#

wouldn’t kinetic tremors or bns would be better

white shell
#

kinetic tremors rewindround would be optimal, but 4th times is nice

gusty oasis
#

you can basically dump all the ammo without reloading if you are good shot

white shell
#

bns aint too great on supremacy

glass spoke
#

yeah i assumed kinetic tremors would be the best

still spade
white shell
#

he literally mentioned that he doesnt want izi

still spade
#

Izzy, sniper/GL, and apex is a good DPS setup for raids, don't how it do for low mans

still spade

#

most of the time i’m running izi wilderflight apex/cataphract depending on if there’s a gally or not

#

but sometimes end up running out of heavy ammo if i’m playing with new lights who can’t keep up

still spade
#

that happens a lot

glass spoke
#

my go to has been swapping to merciless bc after dumping all heavy ammo bc that rotation doesn’t use much gl ammo, but keeping impetus up can be a pain sometimes

still spade
#

you need to get a kill to proc it then lay down on the left click

#

not the best thing for everything

#

for exotic specials, you don't have many options

wise pecan
#

kinetic tremors is v good utility perk but bns is a better dmg perk

#

if u want suplementary dmg for something like tractor or gjally bns supremacy is the best long mid-range option

#

rewind 4ttc is a cope role

#

Kinetic tremors feels great with a witherhorde sorta playstyle. Just whenever you feel it plink two shots at something to proc tremors in less than a second.

#

And this staggers even ultras with the waves, so great for a bit of panic crowd control.

wise pecan
#

again, great utility weapon like witherhoard

#

u wouldnt use either for dmg

hybrid zinc
#

Merciless and 4th horseman are your special dump weapons

#

Also if you wanted you could do supremacy rewind 4ttc

#

If you run out of heavy, you cant proc bns and you can use kinetic tremors (i do) but thats more for swaps than sustained

#

Also if you’re already running double special you can swap to a loadout with double slug or double pellet and go ham

#

Plenty of options

glass spoke
#

ya i’m usually on double special

#

didn’t think of shotgun swaps, ty

#

So we're just rtrdd

#

Best for enemies like Kali which take more dmg from headshots

twin fossil
#

So are we just rtrdd?

still spade

#

I mean you're obviously not coming close to izi rocket but it's still relatively high dmg

#

Labeling it as not high damage is just a flat lie

still spade
#

If we say rocket swaps are high

#

Double pellet (and other forms of shot guns) are still a few mill off

#

Of that dmg

twin fossil
#

I did say they weren't coming close

#

Thank you for restating what I just said

#

still spade
#

Handling is also another stat which will change ur dmg output per phase

#

I wouldn't say it's that high, but it's not useless dmg

#

It has its place

hybrid zinc
#

This guy was asking for something to use when he runs out of heavy. double slug is a good option

#

If hes running double special anyways

#

Just swap to double slug

timber yarrow
# hybrid zinc Just swap to double slug

Double slug is only good on specific bosses you can get close enough to and if the boss has a crit. A rapid fusion will allow consistent damage crit or no crit.

I see, well either way he asked for non-situational stuff. Solely giving him something that works on some bosses and not others is situational. Unless you have a divinity or tether with you

hybrid zinc
#

Double slug or double pellet can work on every boss fym?

timber yarrow
#

Bosses that move rapidly or are far away miss out on damage

hybrid zinc
#

Just get closer

#

I garantee there is not a single boss that you cant double slug or double pellet

timber yarrow
#

Teams set up wells back from bosses

#

When’s the last time you double slugged oryx, or Templar

#

Also double pellet is a mad man thing I’ve never even seen done, is it any good?

hybrid zinc
#

You can double pellet oryx’s hand

timber yarrow
#

I didn’t even know people did double pellet shotguns.

hybrid zinc
#

Yes

#

I didnt know it either actually but zoe told me thats what people doshrug

timber yarrow
#

Well this Zoe is either out of their mind or has esoteric knowledge

#

People usually use linears for oryx from my experience, meaning you are out of ammo right as dps ends usually

hybrid zinc
#

Im gonna go with esoteric knowledge because zoe is my goat

twin fossil
#

Surely you'd use aggressives instead

hybrid zinc
hybrid zinc
#

I never dun that but i kinda wanna try it

timber yarrow
#

I use a linear and dps from center, like a sane person 0-0

#

Whisper

timber yarrow
#

I’ve never even touched a shotgun on him, it’s a scout, recon firing line succession, and b&w

hybrid zinc
#

U should be whispering oryx

timber yarrow
#

Ok you guys are both trolling, WHISPER?!

hybrid zinc
#

You clearly have not played in a long time

twin fossil
#

Whisper can one phase, but rockets/heavy gls are significantly faster kill

hybrid zinc
#

^^

timber yarrow
#

I know I last ran him a while ago but it’s changed that much?

hybrid zinc
#

I like whisper because i dont get to use it enough

twin fossil
hybrid zinc
#

Linear nerd is funnier, change it back

timber yarrow
#

Nerfherder

hybrid zinc
#

Yea linears are kinda bad. Only exception is briars with surrounded and thats really situational

timber yarrow
#

I honestly forgot how long this season has been

hybrid zinc
#

Linears were nerfed like, last season

kind bridge
#

linears arent bad

timber yarrow
#

Rocketing all season has blended together, forgot linear was that far back

twin fossil
hybrid zinc
kind bridge
#

they are just not the end all be all as they used to be

twin fossil
hybrid zinc
#

They’re kinda bad

twin fossil
#

No?

hybrid zinc
#

Yes Creepo

twin fossil
#

Istg man 💀

#

You can still do everything in the game with ease with a linear, rockets and heavy gls will just outperform them significantly

hybrid zinc
#

You can lobotomize yourself and throw on a green sword and still clear this game

#

I dont wanna hear it

timber yarrow
#

You got this! I believe in you!

#

there is no such "specific scenario". its copium

#

if youre shooting for long enough to benefit off of that perk combo ur better off using heavy

#

its maaaaaybe somewhat decent on a massive day1 raid damage check

#

like warpriest, caretaker or worse

storm shadow
#

4 times rewind is not good

#

it’s a bad roll that you will never have a use case for

#

Even if ur out of heavy

#

Bait n switch or KT will do more dmg

#

It’s bad buddy

hybrid zinc
#

Idk. I suggested dslug or dpellet or sum

#

I think thats better anyways

waxen lantern
#

4th horseman or merciless
If thats not an option, double pellet
If thats not an option, trench barrel/surrounded/cascade point shotty

#

If thats not an option, bns/kt supremacy
