[Guide] Pump-action shotgun guide

See enemy, get up close, click, done.

If it was that easy, I'd think we'd see more people using these

No, we're just waiting for the second versions to get released.

Yeah I'm kind of curious how those will be different. Rumor was higher magazine size but I'd guess it will have slower pump to compensate for that.

I'm not impressed with the sounds they use. Not enough 'umpf' imo. Decent weapons though.

EDIT: Has it been stated anywhere that more pump actions are coming? I'm usually on top of these rumors and this one I haven't heard.

To be honest I haven't really been following the conversation, but I have been told they would release new ones + the models for them were already digged out from the game files by at least RoyAwesome.

The guide could have been made even more simple. You could have just reused the ScatMAX strategy guide. Go indoors, kill everything in one hit, profit. The firing rate is so high it doesn't take much skill to use these. If your indoors you will be in it's instant gib range the majority of the time so like ScatMAX it's a win button. LA's make a mockery of things with them too since you just jet through the room being real hard to hit cause of lousy hit detection while spamming instant death shots everywhere.

Unfortunately, that ammo drop bait and switch probably won't work very well for a VS shotgun user.

My tips on the Pump Action Shotguns

1. Don't buy any yet!
2. Wait for the second round of Pump Action Shotguns to be released
3. Still dont buy any yet!
4. wait for them to go through a round of Balance changes
5. Trial it now!
6. if you like it now Buy it!

HAHAHA, that stupid engie gave you the ammo pod. I'll have to try that more often.

the ammunition part was hilarious

Yeah I've had the idea for a while, but I don't run into situations where I can try it that often. Just happened to get that on video while playing around with the shotgun, so of course I had to include it

Nice vid. I had not given the pump action a second thought as I have a Thanatos already which I like, but I might with one a try now.

Also watching so many mulleted, moonshine drinking, drawling, buck toothed, red necked 'freedom fighting' Walmarts die was satisfying.

Yeah def worth trying out, they can be pretty good if you are accurate with your fire

Personally i think they definitely need to be able to firing during a reload if they have a shot in the magazine.

Agreed.

Stop thinking about things having compensation. Won't happen. If everything SOE have done since launch is anything to go by, it will have longer range, as a flat upgrade, potentially larger clip also. The only compensation will be something completely worthless and irrelevant, like recoil.

A guide for shotguns really?

Try making a guide for sniper rifles.
