Drakgoon

[Sparkz]

How is it?

Find out for yourself. You dont get around using every weapon anyway.

I find it to be quite fun. Good damage and innate punch-through. The only thing that hurts it is the slowish reload speed.

Whether or not you'll like it is up to you, but you'll want that mastery either way.

its good not as good at kohm or tigris but good in its own ways

It's one of the better lower rank shotguns, for its teir it's pretty darn good and still ranks as my second favorite shotgun next to the arca plasmor, i'm not 100% sure if the weapons revamp did much for the drakgoon, but its one of those weapons i really want an upgraded variation for it, because i'd use it alot more if its damage was up there with some of the higher teir weapons.

So it won't compete with a tgris prime it's just not got that kind of punch, but with that said it still hits hard, has good range for a shot gun when you charge it, a nasty firing rate for close range (really close that spread uncharged is pretty wide) and when you learn to arc it like a bow at distance you can actually snipe with it which is kinda hilarious...

so it's verstile, does good mid teir damge has a good rate of fire, and an ok reload speed it's pretty good for what it is and the cost to build it.

also i'd rank this over the Kohm.. i tried the kohm and hated it t death, maybe a personal thing... but i'd still use a drakgoon if i didnt have shottys i prefered... but you know reading this? kinda makes me wanna rebuild my old drakgoon =3

Ewww the Kohm? people use that thing? i love shotguns and i couldn't get into that weapon and it sounded so cool initially... i'd rank the drakgoon over the Kohm personally... but might just be a personal thing... i know i use some weapons i know are inferior just because i enjoy them over them being good or great...

It's a crafting component for the Zarr.

Well its no dragon thats for sure

This is a niche weapon for Mag or is only useable with a great Riven.

What is a good complimentary secondary weapon for this gun?

It sits in an odd middleground, since it actually has a surprisingly good range on charge shots and you can spam it when up close.
Maybe something that can proc alot of corrosive to soften the tougher targets up first? the drakgoon doesn't have enough crit, or status (since it's a shotgun), for it to be really worth modding for either you you're kinda stuck with raw damage.

If you've ever played any of the Unreal Tournament games and ever used the Flak Cannon, Drakgoon is effectively that (except its secondary does not explode).

Stats-wise, it's okay for when you first unlock it, but it falls off quickly until you get some rarer mods (including one from Rathuum - Grineer PvE arena mode) for it, which can take time. Personally, if you're looking for just a 'fun weapon to play around with', I'd say give it a try - but if you're looking for something to use as your main gun for as long as possible, it might not be the best pick compared to things like, say, Hek, or later - Tigris..
