The Breach Shotgun. More specifically, the prototype Allotek Breach. It feels like a bloody ripoff. A bit more damage, that's nice. 2 shots in the gun, I can take that. A full one second refire rate, no sweat. A 1.25 second reload rate, things are getting dicey. 12 shots total, what the hell? Price-tag of upper 40k, screw off. Unless the thing is gonna get a massive damage buff and be an antimaterial shotgun, I see no place where having 12 shots is considered good, especially when combined with the pisspoor reload and what MAY be an even shorter range, haven't conclusively tested that.
Either way, you are warned to stick with the Creodron Protoshotty. |

These drawbacks are serious, but also pretty garbage and make the gun unattractive.. I'm hearing talk of shotguns having some bugs with range/damage as well... but haven't had a chance to try them myself.
Since you've apparently hit prototype with them... Send me a mail with your thoughts on shotguns in general, OP? (Or make a thread and let me know, that's probably the better option)
Will do Mr. Knife. A summary for the moment: Pretty good, try to blindside, but for god's sake have a nanohive. Have two. |

The heavy soils pants, having lost his shields instantly and without warning.
He turns and spots a scout. 3 meters. He's close enough to touch!
Why's he standing so still? He's reloading! The idiot's using a breach!
The heavy chuckles. That was easy.
A scout with a breach shotgun. That's sooooo Chromosome.
Thank goodness he didn't have Nova Knives.
My thoughts exactly. It needs something to salvage it, but I don't feel qualified to say I know what it is. |

Excuse me, but when do you just need 10% extra damage to OHK? And even then, wouldn't you rather have 6 more shots than OHK the target? OHKing is easy enough with the basic if you know what you're doing, making such a role for the Breach obsolete. |

its 12 x 60+ for people trained past proto.. 700 dmg hits
the stoping power is addicting, trust me.
if your good with a side arm you have nothing to worrie about anyway..
So you're good with a sidearm? That's nice, but the sidearm isn't the shotty... anyone using the BS could be using the basic version and do at least twice as good. |

That's nice, but the sidearm isn't the shotty... anyone using the BS could be using the basic version and do at least twice as good. im just saying, if you need to cruch on a sidearm till you start landing breach hits then do that..
And I'm just saying that I'm a Logi. I understand my weapon of choice rather intimately, and I learned early and repeatedly that the Breach Shotgun is a waste of space now due to the low ammo and pisspoor ROF, as is the Specialist for a similar ammo concern. Having a sidearm is nice, but if you need to use both guns to have the same effect of an AR, just grab an AR. Sidearms are for when you have no ammo but reload takes too long, but with the Breach that is all the time so why bother. |
