Alright, folks, let’s talk about shotguns. I’ve been messing around with different setups, and I gotta say, it’s been a wild ride. So, I’m gonna share what I’ve learned, what I messed up, and what I finally got right. No fancy jargon, just my experiences. You might have a totally different take, and that’s cool too.
First off, I started by picking a shotgun. Sounds simple, right? But there are so many choices! I went with the Reclaimer 18 at first ’cause someone said it was good. I tried it out, and let me tell you, it wasn’t love at first sight. I mean, I hit some targets, but I also missed a lot. I also played around with the Riveter. That was a whole different ball game. It felt different, shot different, and I had to adjust my whole style. Then, for kicks, I tried the Haymaker. It was okay, I guess, but nothing to write home about.
- Tried the Reclaimer 18: It was alright. Some hits, some misses.
- Messed with the Riveter: Totally different feel. Had to change how I played.
- Gave the Haymaker a go: It was meh. Nothing special.
Next, I thought, “Why not go double trouble?” I saw this thing called the JAK Wardens conversion kit that lets you use two Lockwood Mk2s at the same time. I slapped that on, and boy, was it fun! Running around with two shotguns, feeling like a total badass. But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. I had to get used to the dual-wield thing, which, let me tell you, takes some practice.
Aiming: This Is Where It Gets Tricky
Now, aiming. This is where things got real tricky. I’ve shot rifles before, so I thought I had it down. Nope. Shotguns are a whole different beast. It’s like, you gotta trust your gut. You point, you shoot, and you hope for the best. At least, that’s how it felt at first. I kept trying to aim like I was using a rifle, and it just wasn’t working. I was missing targets left and right, getting frustrated, the whole nine yards. I realized I had to stop aiming down sights and just point and shoot.
It took a while, but I started to get the hang of it. I practiced focusing on the target, not the gun. It’s kinda like driving a car, you know? You don’t stare at the mirrors the whole time; you look at the road. Same idea here. Once I got that down, my hit rate went up. Still not perfect, but way better than before.
So, what’s the takeaway? Well, shotguns are fun, but they’re also a pain in the butt to master. You gotta experiment, find what works for you, and practice like crazy. And don’t be afraid to try weird stuff. Who knows, maybe you’ll find some crazy combo that no one else has thought of. And hey, if you’ve got any tips or tricks, hit me up in the comments. I’m always looking to improve.
That’s it for now. Hope this was helpful, or at least entertaining. Go out there, blast some targets, and have fun!
