BOOSTED SHOTGUN : Hidden Attributes?

I've made it a staple of about a 3rd of my loadouts.

In interlock this gun is amazing. Now im not going to reveal my point distribution, but I will say, that when using a certain hacker LO, as well as Rifleman and SMG spec, you cant go wrong with this weapon.

Ive used better guns, from more with specialized attributes, to the ones we spend hours to acquire. None compare. But Why?

Are there some hidden attributes that we werent made aware of?

My point, and experiment is this.

There are some badass gunners out there, as well as hackrs. Try this gun out for size. make your LO and clothing choices appreciate it.

Then leave us some feedback on this thread. Including pics would be a plus.

Pillster.

What are the actual attributes shown for it? I can't remember this weapon.

godlike DOT if you get it to hit.

% Chance of hitting is...?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. 10%. It still doesn't seem like it would be that great, though, but maybe I'll give it a try.

Been using the boosted shotty for years now. Hacker's best friend.

I thought they fixed the DOT long ago?

Causes 40 Melee Damage every 2.5 secs for 20 secs, Burst Damage(20 pts), Combat Tactics(5 pts)

cr1 statistics

5% chance to deal 95 damage over 10 seconds, 2% acc, 7 points of acc (If I remember right).

The DOT is really powerful for it's level (31).

Il have to get this gun and try it

Where do I get this gun? I use a lvl 50 enhanced shot gun, but if this boosted gun is better then I wish to try it out.

You get it for trading 20 dog tags to a collector in,,,,hmm brain fart. Downtown somewhere @.@

whats the difference between shotguns and rifles? whenever i look they do the same damage and same accuracy on the description, is there hidden things you need to know about them?

Lamar off of the Dog Pounds, and Lamar East Central Hardline brings you the closest to "Bowie", whom has the shotgun.

As for its effect, It can only proc when you hit someone correct? So wouldn't a high Ballistic Accuracy help with this?

Yes, which is why it gives 7pts to BA.

(thanks MxOMainframe.com!)

so to my earlier question, as most rifles seem to have the same description as shotguns, whats the difference? is it just the bonus i.e the 95 damage over 10 seconds?

and when it says 95 damage is that then subject to some sort of multiplier? or is it literally 95hp over 10 seconds

Shotguns generally have a higher ballistic acc (they're shottys, after all). But rifles (at the high levels) tend to have a faster fire rate.

The DOT is multiplied by your Ballistic dmg bonus, I believe. I haven't done any less that 200pts dmg over those 10 seconds (avg is like 50 dmg per sec) in a long time. Then again, I don't pay much attention to it anymore.

It's still a little nifty item to have, and the cool thing about it, is that you can have more then one in your inventory. Stock up I shall.

If a shotgun and a rifle have equal stats the difference would be range.  Good if you need to pick off an NPC in a crowd without getting too close and aggroing the mob, for example.

Oh yeah, forgot about range. Yeah, that would be the biggest difference, then.
