How to use the Clay Bazooka (Sharpnel)?

I don't really understand how to use the weapon.

It's basically a weapon for chipping enemies or stagger someone, and since its delay between shots are fast, you just shoot at it until its ammo ran out.

Do remember that its pellets have wonky spread radius, so your damage might be inconsistent, and you'll get better results when used against units with big hitbox.

shoot it, its practically shotgun

It's basically a rapid-fire shotgun. Damage isn't as reliable as a bazooka, but it staggers in two shots on targets that don't have maneuver armor. Personally, I think the Shrapnel bazooka works best in space while the normal bazooka works better on ground, since it's harder to hit slow-moving bazooka shots in space.

The bazooka's good in space, but it's less consistent and harder to use since you can't use the splash damage as easily.

The devs already considered this. Bazookas have proximity detonation in space, basically auto splash damage radius.

It's a shoulder mounted shotgun. If you treat it like a bazooka, you'll fail with it. If you treat it like a shotgun, you get more favorable results up close but also open yourself up to potentially more damage.

The simplest method of nailing people is luring them into tight spaces.
