DoBoMi Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hey guys, I want to get my new Loki a shotgun. Which one do you prefer? Is the Hek really a direct upgrade to the Strun? I just found the statement, that the Boar runs out of ammo all the time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toastradamus Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I know the thread is titled Strun vs Hek, but I'm surprised no one has brought up the Boar. 2 Boar shots falls between 1 Strun and 1 Hek shot in damage, and it fires 2 faster than the Hek fires 1. Even on Hades I can still 1-shot a lot of stuff at close range, and 2-3 shot at medium range. It fires more than 2x shots per reload than Strun and almost 3x Hek, and reloads slightly slower than Hek. I believe it has the worst spread though (definitely worse than Hek. I don't have a Strun to compare, but wiki lists Boar as more accurate while also saying it has the most spread of any shotgun... Thanks self-contradictory wiki!). Anyone know whether the pellet count/shot is the same for all shotguns? And what that count is? And whether Crowd Control is calculated per shot or pellet? Pellet count on Hek is 7 and on Boar is 6, as far as I could tell testing it just now. Again, no Strun, so I couldn't check. No clue on Crowd Control.

Darzk Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Boars spread is too wide for consistent headshots on bosses/heavies unless you're making out with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lncarnation Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 in my opinion you should try first.. are you even the required rank 4 for hek yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkelheit Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I think we can all agree that you don't really need a HEK if you have a strun.... can't we? And we can all agree that shotgun >>>>> rifle, can't we? To balance shotties better, the spread has to be much wider on mid range. At the moment, you can oneshot many mobs with Strun in mid range and only need 2-3 shots on very distant targets. Instead Strun should be 2 shots on midrange and one-shot on close range. But we need to define midrange first :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
