Warthog Shotgun is surprisingly good...

1st. i hate the engineer... Turrets are trash. ONLY because unless you get a magnet, you lose a lot of XP. Wasnt happy at all about the shotgun...it took alot of effort...

I thought this gun was utter trash, but i was bound and determined to get it to level 21.
anyway... Its hard AF to use, but my god can this thing clean swarms.

(this game needs a mouse aim option, really hard to aim with wasd)

without even realizing it, this weapon got me to level 22 on stage 1. Combine this with supply upgrade that gives you +attack speed from standing still, it just melts, especially if you get them into a funnel.

P.s. skip the elemental upgrades, those ♥♥♥♥ this weapon so hard.
P.p.s it gets an upgrade that fires a shot backwards as well as forward, game changer...

Get the Tesla's to 6, their overclock lets them soak up exp/materials and tend to drop around with your turrets so that helps it a lot

the plasma upgrade is amazing. u can start mining with it. when u get the last upgrade that also shoots behind you it gets overpowered when standing infront of a wall.

Stacking firing speed with the plasma upgrade absolutely shreds. It's really good.

About collecting xp, I always make my way to an edge of the map and then do a big circle around. Do this and you can collect stray xp that you missed the first loop around.

Dump your keyboard and plug in a controller. Thank me later;)

I just done that mission where i need to get the warthog to 21, like you I was a bit disappointed with it but damn that thing killed the dreadnought faster than any other run I've had. I think it was level 25 or so when i finished and it was firing as fast as the smg. I got the electric damage and the mirror shot overclock all i did was run away from the boss and it died to my ass bullets. my mind has been changed on it.

The thing that disappoints me with it (I hope it's just a bug) is that it is very poor at aiming in non-cardinal directions. I experienced this just now where I adjust my direction a *little* bit and the gun adjusts from shooting straight north to straight west with no interpolation/matching of the character's direction. It seems like the weapon shoot directions are almost entirely decoupled from the dwarve's visual direction in this case. Kind of disappointing for me. I wish the gun would interpolate its rotation/direction to the same degree as the character model.

First thing I thought when I started playing. Love the game, round time needs increased by at least 50%.

Try Plasma with Double Pellets or Firing front and back

Thats ALOT of purple beams on the screen

i just dont see the appeal for plasma or electric, you lose the penetration power, and the chain lightning from electric is rather weak
