Each "pellet" crits separately so a sneak crit which if you get them will all crit automatically. so while the 4/0 buck magnum is better for open combat since less of the shotgun damage is spread out, it will only get 88 sneak crit damage. Coin shot has 8 projectiles which will be 176 sneak crit damage that It would be difference between a kill or not for a larger health character.

I actually think the fully modded hunting shotgun is generally better than Dinner Bell. It's got tighter spread, higher capacity (important because of the relatively slow reload), and even a bit more durability for what that's worth, while only missing out on a pretty marginal amount of damage.

@chaegibson720 Жыл бұрын

I honestly kind of hate dinnerbell tbh, it just feels like it’s not as good as the fully modded hunting shotgun, if the dinnerbell had the choke even it would be fantastic but it doesn’t and you just can’t get the same range with it which I find extremely disappointing, with perks you can get some serious range out of the hunting shotgun, that and I think the single shot is underrated on this list

Yeah as a hunting shotgun addict I always use it over dinner bell it only having 5 bullets makes it very poor in fights with bullet sponges.

Yeah that is a very fun way to run the hunting shotgun.

I loved the weapon variety in new vegas but I wish there were a few different shotguns because shotguns irl are just as diverse as rifles. NV got the rifle diversity down with all the weapon tho having scaling and progression in mind still having a purpose. And with the insane ammo variety it would've been interesting to see a bolt action shotgun designed for using slugs or buckshot with an insanly tight spread but make it super slow to use to force players into only using it for trying to take down shit like Cazadors or other insects/gekos from a bit farther range. It would've been cool to see a SPAS12 show up as an alternative to the Riot Shotgun. The Riot Shotgun is semi-automatic and is drum fed but maybe make it have more spread and more recoil where the spas would be tube feed semi auto with a tighter spread but less ammo. Also a proper over under (possible 12 gauge) that doesn't have those atrocious iron sights the caravan shotgun has would also be nice.

So, just to see it all its glory after I got an ultrawide monitor, I'm playing NV with a few mods and AWOP+ MMM. Anyway, one of the mods gave Contreras The Terrible Shotgun from FO3 to sell. Same specs, so it's almost twice the damage of the Riot shotgun, with the same fast-shot and 12 rounds. With the shotgun perks it is so fun seeing deathclaws getting blown off their feet.

For me i always end up with a fully modded hunting shotgun as an endgame weapon. Especially since you can sneak up north to one of the farm steads outside north vegas to find a free hunting shotgun really early game.

Stay Back is hilarious on my crazy ass vats build with the Big Boomer. Yeah I know I could just use the riot one but it seems like cheating and it isn't cowgirly enough. What am I, a police officer or something? Nah. One blast per reload, all day every day - always my preferred way to play (any gun, any game). It's even more hilarious to SNIPE with... via that perk which increases accuracy with each hit in vats. So many pellets and only one has to hit something for it to proc, making the next bunch instantly twice as likely lol. Pump myself full of action points and get a 95% across a mountain with what normally might as well be a melee weapon, lol. Terrible waste of shells but so funny. That and some dynamite and tin grenades for whenever I might be stuck behind cover, and you have my favourite courier's complete battle strategy right there. Oh hallo deathclaw running at me! Lemme just aim at your legs slow you down to a crawl there... need to wait until a heart-pumpingly close range though, with my never more than 1 Endurance glass cannon. It's just that ideal sweet spot of excitement. :)

Lever Action Shotgun is a great secondary weapon when you have Cowboy, Shotgun Surgeon, and And Stay Back. Load some 3/0 Buck(GRA) into that bad boah and it'll keep the creeps off of you for if Medicine Stick either didn't do the job or if 45-70 is too expensive to shoot smaller enemies with

Just a note, 20 gauge does have pulse slugs, I can't remember if they are base game or GRA add-ons, but yeah, you can find 20 gauge pulse slugs fairly readily and I want to say they are a GRA add-on.

there's a named version of the riot shotgun in a mod i played from nexus. It was absolutely insane, just this side of game breaking. If I can remember the mod, I'll come back and post it.

@erikbukovac5944 Жыл бұрын

i think dinner bell should be A tier and lower than the hunting shotgun (with mods). the measly 5 damage increase is no match for the 3 extra shells and even tighter spread of the hunting shotgun. i would also bump the lever action to A tier, especially if using it with the cowboy perk

Theres a perk that effects the single shot 20ga. shotgun but it only works if you use slugs. It takes it from a shotgun and turns it into a pretty accurate medium-long range 1-2 hit weapon. I've used it to take heads off raiders and powdergangers at essentially scoped weapon ranges using vats and just iron sights.

In terms of top shotguns, I say the best 20 is the lever action and the riot as a best 12. But with so many shotguns non make a return, however I would classified the sawed off as bottom tier due to their rarity.

I love the Riot and Hunting Shotguns for the damage/power trip that comes with the high-level perks. That said, my favourite (at least in terms of appearance) is the lever-action. Sure, the Riot Shotgun sends things flying, but you can't flip-cock a Riot Shotgun and flip-cocking it what makes for a true cowboy.

I like to pick off enemies at range but when enemies get up close or I am in a enclosed area I carry a shotgun for such occasions. Out of curiosity (since you mentioned dragon breath rounds) are you going to cover special ammo? would like to hear your opinion on them.

@pessolano461 Жыл бұрын

Idk if you've figured this out, but F:NV has a silly quirk when it comes to switching weapons where it auto reloads them when you switch weapons, so if you want to get the fastest reload possible, take the weapon swap perk instead of the reload perks.

I always thought that single, caravan and sawed offs should also be affected by the cowboy perk. I guess that would make them all a little too strong though

20ga Pulse Slugs exist! But no, Dragons Breath, Flechette or Coin Shot rounds. Lever Gun/Pulse slugs are a great strategy if you want to do OWB early. Also, Cass is a menace with Lever Gun/Slugs.
