Airetam Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Strun has a tighter cone of spread and don't chew up ammo as fast as the boar. I've had good success with the strun, great gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeucienWeaver Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The Boar has the second worst ammo effeciency in the game, behind the Afuris. If you plan on using it...Keep in mind that Shotgun drops only replenish a mere 10 rounds; which is what the Boar's normal clip size is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCrocodile Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Actually, since my original post didn't explain why. You'll run out of ammo to quickly with the boar, and the strun does better damage I believe. Plus good modding can make up for the slow fire rate on the strun.

yakutstk Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 never tried the boar sadly the strun though is pretty damn solid, only reason i swapped to the hek is i like a tighter cone on my shotties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuys Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Boar is very effective once modded correctly. Ammo isn't a problem if you choose ammo maximum and use Shotgun scavenger. Reload speed mods and armor piercing is nice. I held off buying the boar because of how people say it was not good, but i went and bought it anyway and its my favorite primary weapon.

Shinnyshin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 If you're new to shotguns, definitely the Strun. It might be the single most cost-effective weapon in the game. All the pros of a shotgun and most of the pros of a sniper. It's...kinda ridiculous. Ignore all of this if the Strun gets nerfed tomorrow. Which is very probable. Everyone I know who has gotten it (including m'self) is of the opinion that the weapon is kind--alright, VERY ridiculous. That you can get a versatile end-game-viable monster weapon for dirt cheap at the beginning is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekallis Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Strun. Boar does slightly more than half the damage of a strun and slightly less than half the damage of a hek....But has a 10 round clip. It'll take 2 shots to bring down things that the strun and hek could've killed in one. So you essentially get 5 kills per clip instead of 6. It also lacks a polarity slot. The Strun has a - polarity slot meaning it can get elemental mods at half cost. The Strun pretty much outclasses it in every way and is cheaper to buy. If you want faster firerate you'll likely have the spare mod energy to put shotgun spazz on it and solve that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se05239 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hope fully they will nerf Strun's amazing ability to snipe enemies, and buff the Boar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
