If shotguns are fun, how much fun is a Mk19 loaded with frag shells?

Almost as fun as an autoloading 120mm cannon.

That requires a mod and more reloading though…

Unless you can mount a scoop under the gun, then drive along a row of shells on the ground, firing as you go…

A very silent shotgun that doesn’t get immunity to being no-selled by skeletons, sure. :V

Arrows are too hard to craft,bolts are easier to craft and are more powerful (especially when using pneumatic bolt driver (30 damage with wooden bolt and 8 bolts clip))

Bolts weight 2x as much  
Especially metal ones… Because I guess everything is made of solid steel instead of aluminium.

crossbows are good early game ranged weapons until crossbow traps stoped to spawn randomly in fields

A bow is so much better then a crossbow in this game and crafting arrows isn’t that hard either.

I use my bow mainly against Zeds that have area attacks like Corrosive Zeds or Shocker Zeds, from mu experience you can not out range a Corrosive Zed with a crossbow with make a crossbow pointless to use against those.

Those 2 Zeds are the most dangerous when playing a fairly new char to me.

When reaching level 7 or so I have no problem killing Hulks with my bow and leveling up your bow skills is easy and almost free to do so.

( Activate auto pickup Arrows, shoot all your arrows 1 tile away, no need for a target , rinse and repeat till you got the level you want. )
