The Double-Barrel Boomstick is one of the Supports second tier weapons.
Description
- Primary fire uses a single barrel only.
- Alt-fire shoots both barrels at once.
- Double-barrelled, side-by-side 12-gauge shotgun. Ideal for close-range combat. Even the biggest zeds will stagger!
Note: Significant kick. Will knock you backwards when fired, (or upwards if aiming down and jumping)!
Pros:
- Cheap at 650
- Lightweight at 4
- Very powerfull spike damage
Cons:
- Inefficient against smaller zeds
- Low pick-up rate only 4 shells per box
- Low sustained damage due to being break action.
Strategy
Double-Barrel is a powerful tool in support specialist's arsenal. Sporting great 300 base damage if all 12 pellets hit. With this weapon you can efficiently kite a Fleshpound. When fleshpound is about to hit you move backwards jump and press alt-fire, recoil from the gun will push you out of the hit range and you will escape unscratched while dealing significant damage to Fleshpound. Double-Barrelled Boomstick also has enough damage to kill Husk or Siren with a double-shot. This is a risky strategy since you need to get close to execute it.
