• Cannot use alternate shotgun ammo

Overview

This weapon is a fully automatic shotgun, and one of the fastest shotguns in the game. It is capable of incredible burst damage, but is much less useful in any sophisticated scenario.

It has the fastest rate of fire of all the game's shotguns, to the point it can be hard to control. It deals standard damage and can kill an Assault Commander in 4 shots, and does so extremely quickly. It has decent accuracy if you crouch, but the firing rate makes it inaccurate quite easily. It boasts a 7 round magazine, which gets depleted quite swiftly but Rusty reloads just as quickly.

Like most shotguns, AutoM Shotgun cannot pierce neither body armour nor heavy or robot armour but effective against chitin. It also cannot make use of any alternate ammo.

This weapon's extreme rate of fire and fast reload make it a nice all-rounder if there's unarmoured or chitin foes. You can deal with groups easily, and it provides very good fast damage against strong enemies or mini-bosses. Thanks to its decent accuracy, you can also tackle semi-distant targets, especially if you crouch and don't move by firing one shot at a time with light taps on Fire. However, the extreme rate of fire can be hard to control and you may fire two shots accidentally if you have a heavy finger.

Compared to the default shotgun, you sacrifice mag capacity and range/accuracy for extreme rate of fire. The Over-under Shotgun will remain the utmost accurate, long range and the more versatile of the bunch. While the default shotgun will remain the more stable and keep the highest mag capacity, even without upgrades.
