Fallout 76 - Don't Forget About The Combat Shotgun

Lol! Slow Learners 😂😂😂
Genuinely got a chuckle out of that one 😂😂😂

You can play with any gun in this game and do good honestly the game isnt the hardest

I've got a Q FFR sitting in my box.... can't let go of it. I mean... a Jackhammer... it's gotta be fun!

How do I get the legendary combat shotgun in this video?

When did anti armor weapon get so good? I just compared AA combat vs Quad explosive double barrel. The difference is pretty huge. Now I wonder if Anti armor explosive exists or not 🤔

My AA 50% limb damage combat shotgun is one of my go to weapons. I named it Legbreaker. Stacked with Enforcer, it'll insta-cripple most targets

Honestly I’ve just been using a shotgun with enforcer, I love crippling enemies especially robots, fills so satisfying getting revenge on them

Explosive vampire makes you unkillable plus it still is not bad in damage just terrible for boss damage. I play shotguns like a tank hold boss cripple slow with the cold shoulder then heal with vampire combat shotgun. Really fun and good for scorch beast queen holding

Try a gauss shotty recently, it can also have the perfo AND i scales on both explosive energy and shotty

How do you have that many perk points?
I thought it capped at level 50?

Or is it because of the legendary perk system?

Man I was pretty bummed when the cold shoulder came out just after I had finally completed my collection of all the explosive and 50c15c V, B, AA, Ex, and Q combat shotguns and really had the build nailed down. Suddenly everyone had a stronger shotgun build than what I'd spent 300 levels making and they weren't even specced for it LOL
I do use the cold shoulder now sometimes on bosses for the freezing but the mechanics with the combat shotguns are a lot more satisfying. Your video does make me realize I need to try a non stealth loadout though. Nice overview my man.

I main the guass shotgun, i usually run 3 of them, an AA/50vhc/25apc, a B/50vhc/15r, and a Q/50vhc/90. The guass shotgun is so much more powerful than the others its ridiculous. It melts rhe mirelurk queen with a quick volley in vats😅 and now with grenadier increasing the explosion radius, it clears grouos of adds like nuts. Just gotta be careful, because if you vats crit eith it while inside the explosion radius, youre dead 😂

I have a vamps, limb damage, breaks slower. Great for crippling and survival 🎉

I got an Anti-Armor one and it's quite good. Looking for an AA 50%+ vats one for targeted headshots. It's a beast with enforcer too.

I was under the impression that the Anti-armour effect and the armour penetrating effect from the piercing mag didn't stack. Have I got that completely wrong?!

Crowd control fun to use, got it easy and free from eviction notice

after the update if you use grenadier on a explosives shotgun the damage gets reduced a lot I have an anti armor explosive combat shotgun but now it feels like if didn't have any range at all the damage is so weak

man with cold shoulder staring at this video with pursed lips and squinted eyes

With all due respect I think I’ll just forget about the combat shotgun

It's semi-auto and you can attach suppressor. Those are two big selling points for stealth enjoyers. I personally used B/50 crit damage combat shotgun when I was running circles in West Tek at *2xp weekends. It's also amazingly ammo efficient.

Idk about one weapon but maybe the boomstick missile launcher shot and then quickly swap to an instigating weapon might kill a Mirelurk king

I wonder how my b50c25 combat shooty will perform

I have a god roll pepper shaker ....the cold shoulder is ok but if im running a shotie its the pepper shaker all the way

Has anti-armor effect gotten a buff recently? It feels stronger than the bloodied even on my low health builds.

I wish they balanced pistols, shotguns, snipers, melee builds in Fallout 76. So many people in bethesdas discord keep suggesting for them to nerf fixer and railway rifle because they are so strong when in reality they overpeform because everything else sucks. Cant roleplay as gunslinger as the only good pistol is the Gauss pistol or the very rare crusader one. lever actions are so weak and hunting rifles are so bad at the moment.

The fire rate thing... the only real difference is holding the trigger or pulling the trigger

Combat shotties are a lot of fun and they fire quickly enough with enough bullets in the mag to get through mobs easily

Quad 50c Assaultron head might be capable of one shotting the mirelurk queen. it does thousands of damage on normal mobs.

quad assultron head.... try that for one shotting mirelurk queens =P

the combat shotgun is an amazing choice sadly it gets overlooked a lot because its slightly worse then the double barrel or pump action. but it will definitely do you just fine, alongside a lot of other weapons in this game
