Best uses for Shotgun Ammo Types?

[TrickTrigger]

What shotgun ammo works best on what?

[crack connoisseur]

000 Buckshot, HE Rounds.

Well it actually depends on how you are going to use that Shotgun.

I just use both above.

[Stanagley]

Ap and he rounds for shields and groups, flechette for long range and body armor piercing, buckshot for general use, dragons breath for interrupting enemies and for crowds

I've noticed that Dragon's Breath rounds work well with fast fire rate shotguns, even the already low damage Brothers Grimm.

AP - Don't bother. Shotgun accuracy is too low. Is this had a x7 damage multiplier or something ut might have been a great shell but it does the same damage increase as the 000 but reduce shells into 1. If you are at the extent of needing AP for Shields, it's more about time to get better at the game than use AP.

Flechette - Don't bother. Penalties are not worth and body armor piercing is vompletely worthless when you can hut the head anyway.

Dragon Breath - Works best with low damage, high concealment, high RoF shotguns. You guessed it, the BEST ammo for single Grim hands down because it just has a stupid amount of high pickup for area CC and damage. If you go below 60% ammo when using DB grim even on DSOD. You have to admit you are bad.

HE - Used to be great, now is not sure. Still a good shield killer but it's almost always combined with Judge for high damage crits.

000 - Best overall. Best for any situation, best for any build.

Because that's the entire point of DB.

Using DB with high damage shotguns is a complete waste.

*000 buckshot. 00 buckshot is the default which does less damage with no benefits

Steakout + 000 = everything infront of you gone

Fun fact for you. The 000 used to have a pickup penalty long long time ago. So technically, it's the 000 having a damage bonus without penalty. Not 00 having less damage without bonuses. Phrasing your things is important.

000 buck, best use? shot them in the face...a lot.

AP shotguns have access to Far Away Basic which cuts necessary accuracy by a lot, only 76 accuracy is necessary to hit perfect accuracy.

Many shotguns don't need the extra damage from Buckshots and can still work on the same breakpoints with Flechette so there's no reason not to take the mostly useless utility.
