Hey. What are shotguns in this game doing? Specifically: Lawbringer and Kickback. I know all about those weapon’s quirks and downsides and I know they’re viable-ish in Damnation, but, what’s their intended purpose in the game? What do they do and do they do what they do any good? Bonus question:…

Kickback just needs some more range to shine. As it is, there is not much point to take it instead of whatever else and giving him more ranged utility would help with that I think. Lawbringer is fine for a veteran with the right reload perks except for the alt fire which should have a way stronger …

The Lawbringer is quite good fun as a zealot, but I do admit I’d like to see a different special attack (Like a Solid Slug bullet for Anti Armour, Flechette for ranged, Flare or Fire Canister), either as new pattern (When weapon acquisition is changed) For the Kickback, it’s just bad in itself, the…

Shotguns usually THE horde killer gun in horde game… But in TD that spot reserved for melee combat… That’s why shotguns fall flat… Especially the kickback, single shot slow reload weak dps

i like the combat shotgun , ive even used it on vet as main dps weapon it is versatile , both the choke and duck shot are fine, the hip fire i do think is lacking in spread and damage . and the kickback is unfortunately my go to ogre weapon. which i think says more about the sad state of his ranged…

[image] Heretical_Cactus: Kickback Lawbringer is decent, if you are interested in stagger…Admittedly I never brought it to Heresy or Damnation games, there are just far better options for horde clear, stagger and elite killing and I NEVER use flamethrower as its beyond OP. Kickback is just t…

[image] Patch Notes 1.0.25 Changes to the Lorenz Mk V Kickback: Increased reload speed base value by 35% Increased damage modifier against Carapace Armor from 0 → 0.05 Increased damage against Maniac enemies from x0.9 → x1.0 Increased ranged cleave from 1.5 → 2.5. Increased ammo re…

Well that took me by surprise! Increased everything for Kickback. Time to try it out.

Still no reliable weapon for agryn against carapace (you need 4 nades from gauntlet to kill crusher and even 5-6 sometimes). Kickback is terrible, 0 damage against carapace and no damage past 5 meters… His bolter is weak against carapace too when vets’ and zealots’ are very efficient against it. H…

To speak about the Lawbringer… TLDR: Your melee will need carapace I run LB with Vet on Damnation, I can tackle everything (including snipers) except maulers(carapace). Perks for Lawbringer 1 shot will knock off a dog pounch can knock down carapace maulers -Shreds rager/flak rager can 2 tap sn…

[image] Patch Notes 1.0.25 Increased damage modifier against Carapace Armor from 0 → 0.05 So it went from 0% to 5%? What is the point? Replace the special attack with slug ammo instead. There that would make it interesting.
