I an observation. I’ve got myself a pair of Shredders, and they feel bland. After a lot of thinking what the need is to have explosive pellets ammo, not penetration.
I tested against the hammerfalls and they hit way harder because they don’t penetrate, but they destroy. Like any shotgun would.
Have you seen an AA-12 against anything??? I want the Shredders to do that.
Just a thought 
.
you havent seen them at their full strength.
if you use them with a catalina or a dolores plus the jackie, the damage output is absolutely absurd.
this does mean you need to get charges for it to be effective and get that damage boost, but i can pretty much guarantee you that the damage is just a bonus.
2 of these firing at full speed with some apollos is just… insanity…
so to put this into perspective:
the guns gain 5% damage the further away they are from their target gaining 5% damage for every 1m to their target.
you also get the damage boost from jackie at 12%
on top of this you can accumulate charges with the dolores / catalina.
catalina: the 13% damage nerf is negated by the jackie meaning you only get a 1% damage reduction. this is nothing cause it means your firing near to full damage. this makes it easier to accumulate charges and stack up that damage.
dolores: is kind of the same thing but it has more of a damage nerf but more damage to gain. 8% reduced damage as opposed to the 1% from catalina. (or 20% for dolores and 13% from catalina)
if you can get these firing at full speed and maintain distance from your opponent it will just absolutely shred their build like grating cheese.
I love your detailed picture. But i already knew that also adding Gyros help. But… Again even with all that hammerfalls beat them at TTK with less gimmicks.
Result: Shredders need crutches to work. As other shotguns don’t.
Dolores is for those who are still attached to the past. The reality is Ouroboros dishes out more DPS with a shredders config.
Drift cabins dish out more DPS with the shreds.
Even the inferno cabin does more DPS with the shreds.
That’s thinking only DPS without crutches. There’s the tactical approach cabs.
All that is nice and dandy, BUT! it boils down to… The shreds need the ammo swap.
If i have to wait for spool time, might as well just use the Cyclones and i don’t have to put myself in danger. YK
Yeah I always found all “hold mouse over enemy and just keep holding down firing button” guns to feel kinda boring and tiring to use, and very bland
