Pre-order shotgun, good or bad?

[Xtenzor]

Hi. I've been playing on HARD since the very beginning. I think that the pre-order shotgun helped me a lot to progress. I've just upgraded it to fire power level 3 and having a blast. BTW I've only just found my first standard shotgun after playing for few hours. I wonder how people manage to play on hard with just a pistol. Is it ok?
I feel like cheating a bit

Due to my "Whats in here?" outlook to games like this, I wound up with my first shotty before I ever entered Morgan's office, let alone, pistol. The Margave (Bonus) is just flashy looks, but since it looks cooler, and it seems to me anyway, slightly more shortbarreled (Big bonus if your going to blast something 5 inches away from your face) I went with and upgraded that.

That's fine. But I used hacking(unless there is another way) much later after coming back few times. Need to pay more attention. The game is full of surprises and certainly not another Bioshock

I wouldn't worry about it much at all. The pre-order bonus is basically just a free loot closet in a game that has hundreds of loot closets. Pretty sure you can find a shotgun in the lobby from the security station anyway, so its not like you're finding one before you're supposed to (and you can get the door open with the boltcaster, which you also find in the lobby, so again, its not abusing anything really).

It doesn't do extra damage or anything either.

That's my problem. I dont know how but I progressed so far in the game and only after 7h of playing came back to loot.

'and you can get the door open with the boltcaster' thanks for the spoiler. didn't think about that

I entered lobby by pulling a Dishonored and going UP, look around, it will be obvious, and next playthrough, when you watch your vid file move around and look at the projected room, something is now seen that was once un-seen.

Pre-order stuff was utter crapalony, don't worry about it.

The pre-order gun is just as good as the regular shotgun; only difference is how it looks.

literaly the nerumods and medkits are the only good items from pr-ordering. the shotgun has the same stats as a stock shotgun but puts out more recycleing material.

Interesting, I checked this last night and mine is the opposite, the Margave nets less than the regular shotty's oh well.

Its just a reskin... I found the default shotgun before finding preorder skin...

I was about to say, that was my experience too. Seemed like it recycled for less.

I like the skin, looks a lot like the Lament Configuration...
