Just a quick vid I tossed out there for you guys/gals:

Looks good, I can foresee a lot of these appearing in bio labs.

How about TR and NC versions, anyone able to enlighten?

Does this essentially obsolete the mauler?

Stats are already out LINKAGE

Its the same stats as the TR/NC shotties. 146x10dmg (pump) vs 146x6dmg (auto/semi). so quite a big boost in raw dmg. If you OHK a guy and needa reload the thing it only has a .7 per shell reload, so pretty good. But as usual its pretty much made the two semiauto shotguns completely redundant, the ROF is damn near as quick with much more firepower.

Just tried the NC pump action one... WOW, I never once felt that the ROF hurt me since it only needed 2 shots max to kill someone and the quicker reload if you fired 1-3 shells makes the gun genuinely OP. Went 18-2 with it, on open terrain... It has made all other shotguns for me totally useless, I kill faster then a dual hacksaw! Plus the NC one has an animation where you can actually see the shell being reloaded and has a few shells stuck to the side of the gun.. Much more polished then the TR one.

wow.

So it's basically a one-shot-kill noobtube compared to the current two-shot-kill noob tube. Reload time hopefully balances it out, but from the stats I'm hoping I get the auraxium medal quickly on the SMG so I can start using this.

I'll for sure be trying it out, 143 x 10 gives a lot of room for bad aim.
edit: wtf is with the reload animation! Looks like you're feeding quarters into a slot machine! I want to see some bigass slugs loading into that beast!

Hum, might need to reconsider this SMG close carbine range LA thing I've got going. (I also realise my stats are rubbish if another bothers looking)

Thunderhawk · 2013-03-01, 09:11 AM

Why would ANYONE use an SMG now with this in their hands.

Also, I use the Pandora a lot (auto shotty), but this reload time doesn't seem that bad a drawback for the lethality of the thing.

Will buy.

Well, it is odd in itself that the VS are actually putting...batteries (???)...one at a time in this. This IS the strangest VS weapon in this regard. Doesn't make much sense to me. NC and TR might make better sense, but not VS.

Ha, maybe the VS one should be operated like this?

(For those who dont understand, thats one of those camping flashlights you continually pump the trigger to charge.)

Gonefshn · 2013-03-01, 09:36 AM

The SMG can be used with an infiltrator so it still has uses.

Looks cool, probably will buy. Looking forward to the Nerf lol

You had to say that...
Shooting batteries out of a shotgun! Those poor TR and NC getting AAs shot at them

^ Heres a quick video of the GD-66 with slugs (theres a bug where you get them for free even while trailing it!) The last 2 kills I was just testing hipfire with slugs.. not very effective but against the 2 VS snipers.. OHK headshots..

Also excuse the video quality, this is with the ingame recorder with all settings set to 'high' yet it still looks that bad !
