I won the game when I bought it. It outperforms every other gun I've used, or upgraded.

I just need to point the gun in the general direction of enemies, squeeze the trigger a bit and everything dies. I haven't encountered anything that takes over 1 large mag to kill, even a Legendary Alpha Deathclaw.

I'm tempted to increase the difficulty just because this gun makes everything ridiculously easy. Something I've never felt the need to do in FO3 or NV.

Yeah. Fast Firing weapon (or shotgun, since each pellet gets the bonus) + legendary damage (exploding/plasma/furious) = godmode

Switch to Survival as soon as getting such combos.

Spray & Pray is crazy OP.

Best standard weapon I have found so far.

IT JUST MELT MOTHERFU#KER'S

I feel I need this in my life. Where is it?

It comes from a wandering weapons vendor, I forget her name, but she walks around the wastes with a brahmin and 2 guards like the rest, saw her outside the gates to diamond city myself. I thought about buying the gun as it seemed good, but it was pricy, and my perks were aimed towards sniping, so I gave it a skip. maybe I should have bought it.

Their is a traveling female trader named Crickett.

Thats who I got mine from.

I found her camped outside Vault 81 at night.

She has been to Sanctuary a few times in my game. Haven't looked at her weapons as I don't have the funds at the moment

i played on survival from the start didn't specialize in any weapons went mainly crafting/hacks/locks/meds and some various INT tree and I breezed thorugh the game... i aquired an explosive shotty around level 20 - basically everybody dies only me survives.... bunch of brotherhood in power armor? pull out explosive shotty and everything just evaporates. VERY easy game but... I did get 74 hours out of it and am pretty satisfied.

I was also 100% in power armor since level 15 and doped up on med-x and psycho almost indefinitely O_o

Is this one of the unique weapons? Is that what the star by the guns name means?

Oh man, if you think the explosive property is good on an SMG, just wait until you get a minigun with it.

I got a laser gun with it.

Then I realized the laser gets an auto barrel.

Then I realized the laser gets a scatter mod.

Thus, I have broken the game.
