Pepper Shaker questions

[LockeCasual]

ok so I use rilfes on this toon, so of course I find a Pepper Shaker on a vendor in Nuka World. I looked it up bc I didn't know this weapon existed. it was 960 caps or so.

Is this a big gun or a shotgun? I know it's a big gun, right, but maybe shotgun perks affect it? Anyway, on to my biggest concern.

This one I have has explosive as a perk, and something else. I'll log in soon and mention what it is for sure. But the internet just told me these are the rarest versions of the Pepper Shaker out there. Why was this on the clown bot vendor in Nuka World? Is this a dupe?

And yes, it's probably duped.

So high Perception and Scattershot rank 3 is not enough to "correct the accuracy" as it is with Gauss Shotguns?

With energy and explosive its like a legacy lite weapon

Without energy and explosive, even with max shotgun and heavy weapons its sub mediocre as a gun

ammo hog... its primary purpose is to instantly cripple limbs with the tormenter perk

with explosive its a good event tag weapon, but its still pretty weak all in all

For those who don't know its not LEGIT its a bug the explosive ones were a bug that got fixed so the legacy patch if it ever hits fixing BUGED legacy weapons that slipped in the cracks got duped and what not spread all over will also fix this weapon as again its BUG it was NEVER intended to have explosive perk, and got patched out quickly for being op as hell lol

Even if you didn't cheat you might not get banned but if that patch does hit and they said they working on trying to sort out how to get rid of the bugged legandaries and hacked ones it would be included sigh because again its stupid rare because its a BUG that it got that, and they patched it so they can never drop again with that perk.

Just because dupers had trouble getting it so it more rare bugged legacy doesn't mean it won't be included in the purge if we ever get it.

No.. The gun is literally a close up sprayer, slightly longer range than a flamer. Gauss Shotgun is a different animal though, i dont consider those two weapons as similar because they are not. Gauss Shotgun with 50% VATSaccu can get excellent accuracy at super long ranges. But its a different weapon from PepSh.

PepSh is good for solo. Any solo content. Its good for events like RadRamble. Or hunting Mutants at EvNotice. Wherever you dont need range other than close-mediumclose that is.

So I was mistaken, it's a Two shot Pepper Shaker! I've already forgotten the second perk, it wasn't too special. Still, two shot is enough to make me create a second build for this toon. Which big gun and shotgun perks affect it?

Without explosive the gun is meh

Two shot on the peppershaker makes it weaker

8 / 100 * 100% damage is superior to
9 / 100 * 62.5%

any multishot weapon that gets two shot only adds 1 extra round, but then applies then 62.5% damage reduction to every shot and divides the weapons damage by an extra projectile

You'd be better off with a bloodied or anti armor variant I think. Two shot is not strong. My vampire heavy flamer deals more damage than my two shot version. I don't know what they did to two shot, but if it doesn't have explosive it's nearly pointless and makes your weapon weaker just like Phantom said.

Secondary legendary effect good on this would be Hitmans (25% damage increase while aiming) or something similar. Fire rate increase is not good on the weapon due to the small ammo clip.

Oh well lol I'm not looking to win awards for dmg output, if it's enough to kill stuper Muties that's enough. My two shot explosive handmade is for the harder stuff, and I have level rifle with explosive + more dmg per shot. I even syringe bosses, with that engendrol poison that lowers their defense. I love it, bc that makes me feel like the party troll or mage, debuffing foes. I'm do that b4 I shoot other players with my pvp two shot explosive dragon lol. So yeah idgaf what the Pooper Shooker does, since it's not even real. I miss the non explosive weopons of previous FO titles. Everything requiring explosive so that we can murder bosses in under 5 seconds gets a little old
