The usual inter-patch Shotgun™ request

Which is so weird why they chose to give the kantrael infinite cleave

I hear you, and like I replied to Jonboy there Agri is really tricky (at least for me). It’s better to start with Kantrael since it’s the easiest to use and to get used to. But if you do want to go with Agri then that +25% ammo isn’t really an issue, since you’re going to want Marksman’s Focus either way. That +75-115% finesse isn’t a huge deal on most weapons but with Agri it almost doubles your dmg on weakspots / crits.

An Agri like this is all about reaching further up on that line where you can 1-shot more and more things as easily as possible. The higher your finesse, the stronger enemies you can headshot yes, but maybe even more importantly it means you can get off with less than that. When even partial hits, basic hip crits with that spread, even just limb & chest crits etc. are enough to kill & cleave, it starts a snowball effect where stacking Scatter & Marksman’s Focus - and keeping that MF’s 6s buff running so you can move without losing stacks - becomes easier and easier.

Agri really is crazy strong, it’s just damned hard & tricky to use it like that. Tbh I still hate Marksman’s Focus and to date Agri is the only weapon I bother using that thing with no matter how many chances I give it. But they really do work well together. But to be perfectly honest it’s not just because of Agri’s dependency on finesse either. I seriously don’t have the aim for MF on any other weapon… :sweat: But that small spread (and cleave ofc) Agri has makes it just enough. :joy: Unless I have a bad aim day. x.x

Shotguns will forever get these threads until they get rid of the esoteric minimum pellet count and ADS cleave modifier mechanics that prevent people from using them to the fullest. Ogryn ripper guns have the same issue. Having their best blessings be locked behind EXTREME rng or making a second character to fish for them at level 15 also doesn’t help of course.
Either that, or Fatshark themselves will forget about these mechanics and just buff them hard anyway
