Also great with the Double Flame until you can pick up a Flak or Super Flak Cannon. Shotgun Shoulders is INCREDIBLE with a sawn-off on YV using Pop Pop and its upgrades, especially in the transition levels.
Now that the updates have slowed down I'm increasingly trying less and less optimal strategies, and shotgun soldiers+a flak cannon might not be as good as laser sword + long arms + laser brain but it feels more fun at this point, for me. Meanwhile, laser brain actually straight up doubles the damage that energy melee weapons do It's a negligible increase in damage output Only if they hit an enemy literally 2 frames after they bounce off a wall. Shells deal bonus damage if they just came out of your gun or have just bounced with shotgun shoulders, so shotgun shoulders also increases your damage output in any situation where you'd be bouncing pellets around. I mean, if anything I'd say most of the time the mutation that helps you the most at close range and in corridors/around corners in areas like the sewers is bolt marrow, because it basically means your bolts have enormously wide hitboxes that you can snipe dudes around walls with. It does something, it's just that what it does is not as big of a deal as the other weapon mutations. I wanna be clear here, I'm not saying Shotgun Shoulders does nothing or hurts you. You get a lot more mileage out of your shotgun ammo with shoulders because pellets are more likely to hit something rather than disappear, and then in later game you can clear out the close quarters areas quickly (like a big IDPD spawn in the palace) and then open up long range straight away with a bolt weapon.Īdmittedly this is me playing no SS/no RS with Melting B, and I'm still scrub tier because I just don't have that much time to play, but it's been pretty effective to have Shotgun Shoulders as close area clearance as long as it's well complemented. I feel like besides the rats, all other close quarters targets really need much more hits than what you'll get with standard bounces. When you say "shoulders deals with close targets while avoiding having to expose yourself too much", what exactly do you mean? Because I would wager that 9 times out of 10, either you don't need to be bouncing shots at all, or normal bounces would be enough.
