its not a joke, the alt shotgun ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks, you cant do the switch thingy and even with another strat, i still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate it, because i still want normal shotguns and not alts only

You can absolutely have the alt shotguns and regular ones too. You know how the meta before this update was alt piercer, regular marksman, either sharpshooter? You can do the same with shotgun. Current meta afaik is normal core eject + chainsaw, alt pump charge. This lets you both shotgun swap and use the jackhammer. Because pump charge is ideally used when you are far from enemies and want to accumulate damage, and the alt shotgun's damage scales with velocity.

I didn't even rebind swap to last variant, just using your mouse wheel to scroll weapon variants works too

But it's so overt! He literally said the Jackhammer is only good for Filth, which it's arguably worse at than the normal Shotgun. lmao

Not aarguably, it just is. If you place 2 filth, one outside basketball court and one at the wall, stand in the middle and malicious rail snipe, they both get hit. Nothing the jackhammer can do can hit them both, even the rocket sniping (even though that's visibly the bigger explosion, so maybe its supposed to have enough range) and whacking the cores into each other (double doink) even though that's literally the exact same explosion visually. If you're not using them then its projectile boost v core jacking and projectile boosting is literally just the same thing except it gives better score and doesn't change based on your momentum

doesn't... sound very... practical, you can just not use it as well, or switch your strats up

Or use the scroll wheel.

scroll wheel switches guns tho? not variants, im not picking this variant up even tho it works great just becouse it kills quick swapping and rewiring your brain into clicking (next variant), (previous variant) instead of 2, 2 is pretty hard

YEa variations default to Q and E and you can't bind anything to mousewheel far as I can see. it completely ignores you moving mouse wheel in that menu.

i do, all of this forum was a joke, i actually love the creativity and power of the jacking off hammer

[Blinks menacingly]

I love the jackhammer and I only learned that the meter that goes to red is not a bad thing but it shows how much damage it will do. I kept slowing down not to overheat. Shotgunswap is mostly invalidated by the chansaw variant anyways. Why do all the trouble when you can hold right click and mostly achieve the same.

[Arc]

Shotgun swapping allows you to spam projectile boost which is better than both the new blue shotgun and rocket launcher in their shared niche
You can shotgun swap about 2-3 times a second for 3 damage each time if you use blue ang red. This is 9 damage.
Holding down chainsaw is 4.5 damage a second.
The chainsaw is either slightly worse or half as good in terms of DPS compared to shotgun swapping and its ranged gimmick is vastly inferior.
In no way does the chainsaw invalidate it, its just another item to go in the pile of "not as good as the established meta" weapons
