Ahhhhhhh, marine mains favorite OP weapon.
The only weapon in the game where you get the following:
- AoE attack
- Insta stun
- Insta kills or crits most T1s and T2s
- Near infinite ammo (10 shots before reloading, but with 1 hit god mode, who needs ammo?)
- Any human caste can use it successfully (CMO was just recently able to repel a boarding attack without having to worry about combat skills, lololol)
- Ignores attachment drawbacks at close range
- Can dual wield and pump both without having to drop either to reload (so now 20 shots?)
No drawbacks since 90% of the xeno caste is melee. Even the ranged castes such as sentinel, spitter, and boiler a shotty user can easily outrun and PB. (this happens A LOT)
