Nathan-tp2kw: Dude try explosive and fractures. Its a touch weaker but everything gets one shot anyways. Its a blast literally, created the build update day 1 and its been so much fun.

Papahops2943: I like how everything can be crippled now but I don’t think dangerous enemies like mirelurk queens and deathclaws should drop down and lay there after one shot. They should limp towards us and still be a threat.

beastabuelos6421: I've got 2 combat shotguns, 1 with explosive that's ultracite and 1 with faster fire rate that's automatic. Both fantastic. Take a look at the gauss shotgun. Using it feels like I'm committing a war crime. It's nuts

Steve-go6oq: Don't sleep on fracturers, my Tesla rifle is a chain reaction beast and the limb damage bonuses add up even for the area of effect.

vargotill6404: Counter argument, furious cripling bullys peper shaker

jonhunsinger5976: I've been running two shot with explosive 2nd* and fracturers on my gauss shotgun gun. I have been getting up to ~550 per pellet, it's really great!!! Really liking the new combat updates!!

N7-alpha: Should give crowd control a try on that build fun shot gun now.

dynastyjumpzz: Nothing walks away from anything right now because enemy limbs are seemigly made out of paper

nukacolanut6095: Shotgun fun!

Mesm3r: For something like the combat shotgun, if you’re looking to do pure damage(given I do run a bloodied unyielding build) I modded mine b50c15r pinpointers. I tried it with limb damage and here’s the thing…most of the new crippling cards only take affect on the second shot onwards and I’m looking to one shot enemies so I tried the 50crit and pinpointers and got even better results and I put the night vision scope on just to increase vats accuracy and it’s definitely a fun project weapon! Also for the perk load out, just my two cents but I wouldn’t bother with love the spread as I don’t find it worth the perk points, better off using something like arms keeper or barbarian, trade guerrilla for gunslinger as weak spot damage results in more damage, swap out party boy for tenderizer and maybe spiritual healer unless you want the bonus to alchohol, swap out center mass for ground pounder love the video though man keep up the good work!

eirikgeel3709: That looks pretty good. Have you tried a quad-rapid-swift-conductors double barrel shotgun? I’ve done the guardian solo with one

dcsomething6460: Looks pretty good, I wonder how a ghoul shotgunner would do

pcgamingnerd9529: number cruncher I love that card

modelbaumok9210: Blunderbuss 20 explosive, around 500dmg per shot and harder enemies instant leg cripple. Veeery useful for this pistol because reload time. Double shot The black powder pistol is worse, and the worst is this legendary pirate pistol, very inaccurate.

AlexAutoAxe: Trying this tonight: Two Shot Peppershaker with this build Fracture's and Far Fireworks legendary perk.

Hopefully explosive splash damage and even more crippling with the two star effect?

Cgarza2005: Juggernaut work as a ghoul?

MarcosVargas-jx5ef: Furious better than juggershit

haakon5451: How do you get 4 star legendary weapons?

michaelmcdaniel786: Ive been maining a pump shotgun since this game came out. Why oh why we never got a decent pump action in this series is beyond me, but we finally got some love for them!!!

PunkRockZombie205: Mutants would've been better now that it goes to 50%. You wouldn't have to worry about having max health and food buffs up. Or even aristocrats if you run on full caps usually

Mad_Peasant_King: I can't really tell if I'm crippling anything at all, seeing how every enemy got adamantium skeleton

masterblaster3712: You sound like galadon gaming lol

dekay7829: I have a question: Why do all streamers use the Center Masochist perk card and still shoot at the head and not the torso?! Please don't tell me it's only for raids! I tested the perk card on the super mutant myself and found it to be useless. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SamuelTillett: Just a heads up, you're doing too much limb damage. Limb damage doesn't apply directly to an enemy's health, only to the health of each limb respectively. Explosive works wonders by applying bonus damage and limb damage at the same time, whereas the prefix is really just preference (I prefer Furious with reverse onslaught). I've been hitting over 300 damage per pellet without criticals with my combat shotgun, and when applying the same concept to the pump action and double barrel, that number gets even crazier. I think the highest I've seen on my double barrel was nearly at 700 per pellet, without any consumables other than your everyday psycho. No food, no stealth, all shotgun.
