What’s your opinion on the Doomstick?

[Rufus]

In my opinion it feels a little bit too weak. Could use a small damage buff, or maybe make it have even stronger knock back towards the zed and the player, would make it a great “get-out-of-danger” tool.

[Foster Doshwalker]

Easily the worst support weapon you can buy.It suffered the same fate as the Husk Cannon.
M4 and HZ12 literally ♥♥♥♥ on the doomstick.

[HiTmAn]

very weak very high spread even with tight coke. low ammo pool medicore dmg for t4 wepon should do way more dmg

[Brand212]

IMO, the sound of the Double Barrel feels more powerful than the Doomstick in-game.

The Doomstick sounds like silencer version of the double barrel.

[Rhodesian_Ron]

Kinda lackluster for its price of 1500. It just takes too many shots to kill even medium size enemies. Even the m4 is better as of this moment imho.

[∴ Snake ∴]

utter ♥♥♥♥

[Eze]

It sounds pretty strong, the wikia says it does more damage than the C4 if all pellets hit. It is a lie tough, someone should check those numbers: put the real ones in the wikia or fix whatever is making the doomstick disregard that damage number.

Before the second beta update, it's a "DOOM"stick.

After that, "doomed"stick.

and yes, just like firebug's tier 4 weapons release. First OP, then nerf it to the ground.

[Twisted Lemon]

Personally, I think it should be made a T5 weapon and the ammo caapcity should be bumped up a fair amount, as I think they over-nerfed the ammo.

Right now it's very average and not worth the massive weight or cost.

[JimmyIowa]

Well, it does less dmg than the M4 while weighing much more, having vastly less range, and half the ammo reserve. What's a good term for that - rediculously bad?

[Holy Crap]

The damage was nerfed because you could instantly kill a 6p HoE Scrake in one alt-shot, which was ridiculous. Currently it needs a small buff in my opinion. The damage is fine, you can kill a Scrake with two alt-shots without even the need to aim properly, and you can kill a 6p HoE Fleshpound in two alt-shots before he even starts running or before his rage animation finishes. The problem with it is the restrictive ammo pool, it should be increased considerably but not too much, if not, you risk it being a multipurpose weapon to kill trash and big zeds both very easily and with not much skill involved.

i rather watch that stick goes that way and supress/replace AA-12.

Besides no one complains about that almighty AA-12 spray and pray firepower for a long time.

Um, in order to land those pellets, you need to facetank the scrake with a slow fragile perk. Not to mention use up most of your inventory and run out of ammo 1/8 of the way through a 6p wave.

Or you can do better damage from safe range with the m4 and have twice as much ammo and another weapon for the same weight. The doomsuck is utter trash in every way possible. Complete 100% newb weapon.

[LuckyDude]

Delete doomstick, return back old boomstick stats.

[Ant Ra]

Max upgraded HZ12 is the better Doomstick.

[@ndy]

just fully upgrade boomstik, doomstik is not worth weight dmg nor the price.... as of the moment i might consider playing with it if you get it as starter weapon... - so yeah only coz there no choice
