Pepper Shaker perk synergy?

[Red Shoe Paul]

since it's considered a heavy shotgun, do the perks for heavy weapon damage and shotgun damage stack with it?

Last time I checked, they stacked.

They stack for now. It's happened with other weapons in the past and was a bug, I don't know if there was ever any official confirmation that this is intended

that sounds op, if i would be bethesda i would put it into the shotgun category only, simply because there are so many heavy weapons and just 3 shotguns.

It is intended. Hellstorm Missile Launcher is also dual purpose since it benefits from both Heavy and Explosive perks.

It only sounds OP. I'd say it's pretty balanced. A level 50 Pepper Shaker has the damage of a level 20 Combat Shotgun, but it'll get armor penetration from Stabilized. Shotgun and Heavy Weapon damage perks are both in Strength, along with pretty much all weight reduction perks. Ammo will be a pain.

All the good perks are in the same tree for them (STR) so its hard to effectively mix and match, but I AM curious to how much it would weigh if you had both the shotgun and heavy weapons weight reduction perks (or if they even stack) lol.

Reload should be fun. Skeetshooter, lock and load, speed demon, faster reload legendary and it'll probably be quick enough to make up for low magazine capacity.

Still a ways off and behind rng to get plan but a new toy to mess around with will be interesting.
