Allajh Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Slap the puncture mod (forgot the name) on a strun and you can clear entire groups of enemies in one shot if they're clustered. With the mod as it is with 0.3 puncture I shoot through pretty much everything and hit the guy behind them. 90% armor piercing? Yes please. 9 ammo clip with mod? Lawl. It is actually so stupid easy I dumped my potato strun in favor of some rifles. Surprisingly even just a Braton with the firing speed mod is ridiculous. So many choices! But when I'm doing higher level content I roll my Strun/Lex combo as I tend to zerg forward and if something survivies me running to it it gets the coup de grace with my melee weapon.

NoeleVeerod Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Strun is fine. I know Hek does pretty much everything and better, but still I got a good feeling for shotguns with the Strun, and I also powered it with the Catalyst so that I'll be able to specialize it once I've got enough mods.

TheTenthDoc Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I think it is garbage. Granted it is only rank 20, but compared to my automatic rifles of roughly the same level (~25), it performs like a dog. Maybe I built it wrong? I only use it for Infested and it is modded with Ammo Capacity (to 11 shots), Point Blank (pure damage) and Fire damage. Even then, any of my rifles or pistols massively outperforms it. Strun reloads fast enough that maxed ammo capacity is an enormous waste of mod slots (unless you potato it). Armor pen, damage, multishot, and elemental damage it up and you'll be one-shotting enemies provided you aim vaguely in their direction.

squaresphere Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I just need ONE, a single solitary instance of a the freaking reload shogun faster mod to really love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Sensei-- Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 doesn't the strun have a polarity slot and hek has none...? Doesn't that free up more energy and a potential mod slot for strun.......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak_Gohae Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 All weapons can be make to work, it's only if you are min/maxing that you worry about stuff. That said.... the freaking Hek is like a Sniper Shotgun. You just aim in a general head area and can still hit at long @$$ range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had one of the longer reload speeds in the game, except for the snipetron and that HMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuiseh Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My love is for strun. Quick pickup, with some ranks and proper dmg/fire rate/reload/magazine mods it just gets ridiculous. Seriously I love the magazine, fire rate and reload mods so much you have no idea. No second thoughts on giving it a potato :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTenthDoc Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I thought it had one of the longer reload speeds in the game, except for the snipetron and that HMG My bad, I just used it alongside the Lex almost exclusively so it felt shorter. I still never felt the need for ammo mods over reload mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinderain Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I haven't used the Strun in a long time... I kinda miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodKitten Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 sturn is awsome, aguable might be a bit OP for its price, but being limited to medium range and long reload makes it perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukerez Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 What exactly do you people mean when you refer to something as a "potato", please enlighten me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoRDxDeMoN Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) I'm not really a fan of the current shotguns. A Lato can 1-2 shot most enemies, at any range. Edited April 18, 2013 by LoRDxDeMoN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataPhreak Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 What exactly do you people mean when you refer to something as a "potato", please enlighten me. :) Potato is the supercharge thing in the weapons mod window. It doubles the amount of mods you can put on a weapon. And it looks like a potato. A $&*&*#(%& metal potato that only a space ninja would eat, but a potato none the less.

7.T. Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) I really like the Strun too. Its powerful enough to get me out of tight spots when I'm out of energy. I haven't tried the Hek (plan to), but even if its a stronger and more useful weapon I bet I will end up using the Strun anyway simply because I personally think it looks better than the Hek. No offense to People who are pro-Hek, Just my opinion :) Edited April 21, 2013 by 7.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuura Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) It's funny, when I first started playing the game, I bought the Strun and hated it. After a while, when my Braton became to weak to fight higher level mobs, I just started getting mods for shotguns like candy, before I knew it, I had base damage increase, fire damage, elec damage, armor piercing, multishot, and ammo capacity. So, seeing as I had so many shotgun mods, I re-bought the Strun and the rest is history. It was like the RNG was telling me it was destiny to choose the shotgun.
