Auto shotgun

[JCD]

I was excited to find the schematic but disappointed with the gun when I got it built, 90 forged steel is a lot of resources and it isn't much better than the pump shotgun, 1 less damage, only a handful more shots per min, same range and mag size only 6 more.
Modified however it becomes the killing machine it should have been out of the gate.
Drum magazine brings it up to 31 rounds, full auto trigger and retracting stock makes me a happy camper.
Anyone else using it, and what modifications did you choose?

I don't use full auto because ... I just don't. Tearing up every building I'm in is not really something I like to do. However, since I'm using it from the hip most often, I use Foregrip, Shotgun Choke, Drum Mag, Laser, and could switch out the laser for retracting stock if needed. I just like the damage... sweet, sweet boomboom.

The auto shotgun might be a bit overpowered, it's massive clip size, short reload animation, penetrating shells, and 160 base damage on a meatshot is really strong. It's firepower is on par with the M60 and it's ammunition is more cost effective.

Very strong weapon.

Its a very good Weapon for "Insane" Players and overpowered on every other difficulty.
If you're playing on Insane and reducing loot to 25% to get a real "Survival Game", makes this weapon very rare and only possible above GS 92. To find them on a very difficulty setting, feels more rewarding.

Auto shotgun is very good on any difficulty but limited in Insane against all kind of Z or animals.

Why is it very good ?

+ You can have huge amount of ammo (30+)
+ fast relaoding time
+ can destroy wood blocks easily
+ No need brass to make ammo

Not usefull against bears or feral wolwes : use M60 instead

Always try to aim the head with auto shotgun. All basic Z can be onsehot with that weapon.
