CC VERSUS BUTCHER!

[dtconey81]

who wins? Im using both guns but its hard to split them

[DasLlamaMan]

depends on what you want in the gun. Butcher is probably the more efficient choice because of the random ammo added to clip, and the rate of fire.

butcher for mobs cc for bosses. dps of the cc is higher with larger enemies while the butcher allows enough ammunition to kill multiple enemies in succession wiith one clip

The nerfed Bee now favours rate of fire
Choosing the fastest Butcher and CC and comparing them....

Butcher - per unit time is (19,000 x3 + 150,000)x7 = 1.449M
CC - per unit time is (20,000 x 7 + 150,000)x4.3 = 1.247M

Howver, if you don't use The Bee, or when you are incapped, or your shield is damaged, then it all changes...

Butcher - per unit time is 19,000x3x7 = 399,000
CC - per unit time is 20,000x7x4.3 = 602,000

So it depends what shield you use and also how you play. If you use the CC to gain a second life when you are incapped, then stick with the CC. If you use The Bee and are just interested in damage when you are healthy and shields intact, then the Butcher is best.

The real advantage that The Butcher's have is their low use of ammo. It's up to you whether you consider that important. Perhaps in boss battles you would use the butcher, but otherwise use the CC?

Personally, I tend to use the shotguns for close up only, when I am hurt or about to get hurt (!), so for me the x7 CC's are best. You shold also replace the numbers in these calculations with the actual numbers you have. I don't have any x4.3 CC's for example so I would use x4 in the calulation.

Care to explain your calculations ?

I assume that 150k is the bee bonus but I don't get what do the multipliers account for ?

[WaxxFetish]

Ok now I get It - (dmg x pellet count + bee) x fire rate ?
