    I hate how this game fell into the low weapon variety trap that fallout 3 fell into. Only 2 shotguns in this game, 1 smg, no PROPER 50 cal, no grenade launchers, etc

      Yeah Bethesda seems to really enjoy taking away options and choices from the player. I honestly don't understand how so many people still play FO4 when, if you play optimally, each start is exactly the same

      I miss having real cold war era weapons show up, or tie the weapons into real world stuff. (Colt 6520 [10mm pistol], Colt Rangemaster Hunting Rifle, AK-112 Assault rifle, H&K G11, CAWS, and P90 [makes less sense for these as plastic isnt used in fallout but still cool] and all the other weapons they added that had some "real" tie in)

    i remember retrieving an Explosive DB Shotgun at Level 12 from the mirelurk beneath Concord and used it throughout my entire 3rd playthrough, I didn't even know that it can stack with the Demolition Expert perk yet it still had ridiculously high damage against endgame DLC enemies.

    I remember getting one early on they had the never ending prefix. That carried me through the entire game and I made my character build around it. Fun weapon. Thanks Legendary Radroach!

    It's great early game but falls off really fast. Especially if you rush Justice. Only way a double barrel can compete then is if you get blessed with an explosive one.

    They should've at least given us a pump shotgun in Fallout 4 instead of saving it for Fallout 76. Imo there's not even enough shotguns in base Fallout 4 to even consider a shotgun based build when there's so many rifles out there.

    • @BrendorTheEndor

      There also aren't any shotgun perks, as far as the game cares they're just "rifles" or "automatics" which is so lame

    It's a solid C. With a solid muzzle brake, you're getting a solid wall of lead, and I tend to keep on on hand for mole rats and other low armour enemies.

    Fallout 1 had only two types of shotguns, 3 also had two with a single variant each (plus one from Point Lookout) New Vegas had no DLC shotguns, and then 4 came out with only two of them (with the Combat Shotgun having *two* unique variants). it seems to me shotguns are a bit of a series-long issue in one way or another. 2, Tactics and NV had the most variety, but considering the time it came out, again, NV had no DLC ones, so idk why this weapon category is so inconsistent in the series
    edit: inb4 someone says anything about BoS - yes, I know it only had two too, but nobody likes the game anyways, so whomst cares?

    • @simonyu8838
      @simonyu8838 10 днів тому

      2 was weird because two of its shotguns were cool concept weapons that never entered full production. It was an interesting idea to include some RL cutting edge guns that theoretically could have been in service when the bombs dropped. But none of those ended up being more than interesting museum pieces

    • @SaraphDarklaw
      @SaraphDarklaw 10 днів тому +2

      NV kind of makes up for the lack of shotguns with different ammunition types. It’s not 100% perfect but there’s some variation in how to shogun.

    • @angelthemute1670
      @angelthemute1670 2 дні тому

      Why does it matter that FNV had no DLC shotguns? It had like 6 different shotguns in the base game without even counting the unique variants. Way more than any other entry in the series.
      Single Shotgun, Sawn-off, Caravan, Lever Action, Hunting Pump-Action, & the Riot Shotgun iirc.

    • @40088922
      @40088922 2 дні тому +1

      @@angelthemute1670 well, every other type of weapon had at least *2* new ones as DLC, but shotguns got none. yes, NV had a bunch in vanilla, but my point was that even when there's a satisfactory number of them, shotguns are still a category that lags behind somehow, in this case, it's not that it had 2 types, but that the category wasn't updated ONCE in a time where DLC was already commonplace, not even the Gun Runners' Arsenal added a shotgun. that said, it's not a "problem" per se, but it's more so a way to say Fallout doesn't prioritize shotguns as much as other weapon categories

    Top Legendary perks on Double Barrel: Never-Ending, Instigating, BLEED, Penetrator, Knee-Capper, Anti-Robot and Anti-Human, Slow-Mode, and Powerful. Other perks just don't cut it like Anti-Ghoul and VATS-enhanced since WHEN can you ever snipe with a shotgun?!

    to fix the double barrel, give it +20 damage so it can deal some stupid damage per shot, but suffers in damage per second unless you have Unlimited
    BOOM.
    You have your mobbing shotgun and your bossing shotgun (still needs more variety like with a pump action and a pipe shotgun but eh)

    The best legendary effect for the double barrel is never ending.

  • @bravalloy
    @bravalloy 11 днів тому

    The double barrel could be 12 gauge while the combat 20 gauge making the former more powerful. Not sure if it makes sense in real life.

    • @Shitstermcdix
      @Shitstermcdix 10 днів тому +1

      Most shotguns that would be effective in combat would probably be 12 gauge, but a semi automatic could be made to be a bit heavier for recoil control purposes and weight balancing for a game

  • @smallwonder843
    @smallwonder843 10 днів тому

    I'd leave it where you put it. Just an ok weapon for the start of the game. The best legendaries for shotguns are wounding and explosive. Works better on a combat shotgun.
    The thing that i hate in this weapon is reload animation. It is awful

  • @rwithee

  • @BrendorTheEndor
    @BrendorTheEndor 10 днів тому

    I have an interesting theory as to why FO3 and 4 have so few shotguns in them, and in particular why they dont have any tube magazine ones. I noticed in FO4 that the LE rifle from Far Harbor always loads 5 shots on reload, regardless of how many you were actually missing. This made me realize, the LE rifle is (as far as I know) the ONLY weapon in 3 or 4 that reloads bullet-by-bullet like that. So I have a theory that not being able to have a dynamic reload animation is actually an engine limitation, and this kept Bethesda from featuring shotguns that loaded like that. Not sure why they'd change their minds for one gun in a DLC, but maybe they just really wanted to include a LE rifle without using the BB gun reload like FO3 and didn't care about the jank anymore.
    Also, yes you can reload weapons bullet-by-bullet in FNV, but that also caused reload dashing to be a thing so maybe that made Bethesda not want to use that version.
