"Shotgun Shrapnel Mode"...wtf IS it??

[fishhooks]

I'm on chp 10, and still haven't found any 'modes' or upgrades for the shotgun. How do you get the "indirect kills in shotgun shrapnel mode"?

Also...where's a good place to get the "Empty a fully charged LKW w/o missing" perk? I can get the 'not-miss' part, but I can't drain the weapon. Either everyone is dead, or I have to use it to cut thru some fence/grate/chain before it's drained (which I assume interrupts the kill-streak).

Thanks in advance

You get the shrapnel upgrade automatically after finishing the torpedo train chapter. For the Autopanzer perk you should try to empty the LKW on a guard robot. Best place to do so is the London Nautica hangar. There are also two energy chargers.

Thanks for responding...I figured I just had to wait a bit more for the Shotgun Shrapnel upgrade, but it's good to know for sure.

But now, the Autopanzer is driving me nuts. I actually did what you suggested...almost certain I drained the LKW on a robot in Nautica (several times, in fact), but when I didn't get the perk, I figured it was 'cuz it had to be human kills or something like that.

Done the sequence just before capturing the train at least a dozen time now ('cuz there's plenty of human targets if I let the alarm go off)...taking my time lining up each shot (even just standing there soaking up damage just to make sure I hit the guy)...still no perk.

Some might say I just suck, and while there may be some truth in that, I've been playing shooteres a long time, so I think I know when I score a hit. And I'm confident that I'm not missing, which is why I'm thinking there must be some trick to it.

But you're saying that emptying the LKW on a robotic target will count (even if it doesn't go down), just so long as I don't miss a shot...is that correct? 'Cuz if so, then I must suck even harder than I thought, 'cuz I thought I already did that...lol.

For me it worked very fine. Did you fully recharge the LKW before?

I must say thanks in a big way You were right...the next robo I came up against, I made sure I fired very carefully (from cover)...one shot at a time. Drained my LKW on a bot (didn't kill 'em), and got the perk. Dunno why it didn't happen back at Nautica (I guess my aim wasn't as pristine as I thought it was).

Thanks for the help (and patience).
