Was a strange game for me. Started off with the pillared base map (no-medi-kits), got pasted a little at the start(lv2-5), then it turned into a cakewalk. I've always had a bit of trouble with shotty builds, but this one ended up a little too easy. Standard army-of-the-dead build BTW. Fair enough though, it was on easy, so no-problem I guess.

Found the assault shotty on 6th level (and kind of figured I'd have it in the bag from then on). After that the game kind of went crazy with the amount of power-ups, nice weapons and armour it threw at me. Found the Pancor Jackhammer on lv9. End of game. The hardest part was restraining my ammo-usage. Think I used about two large medi-kits from about lv14 onwards. Took out the spider lair, next 2 levels were spider caverns. Two blasts and they disappeared in a puff of spider-gribbly-bits. 2 arch-vile/4-5 mancubus rooms were't a problem. Cyber-daemon required no-tactics. I might have been able to punch him to death with the amount of armour and health I was carrying. Still, my first shotty win. Onto med/hard I guess.

I know my girlfriend doesn't read this forum, so I can say this. If she ever ditches me, I think my next gf with be a Pancor Jackhammer (jokes).

As an aside, does the Jackhammer work on ammo-chain builds?. ie: Triggerhappy and Ammo-chain. Would be a little too easy, but fun to watch the knockback.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 38 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 33 of those were killed.
 And 3 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 2 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 killed the bastard and survived.

Hmm, lucky you.  I've still not seen the Jackhammer, and seriously, I'm getting pissed.  Heh.

That said, mortems should be enclosed in mortem tags, otherwise you'd have really strange unaligned text like now.

[Tavana]

Any weapon that you can hit "F" and rapidfire can be used as an ammochain weapon. Jackhammer sadly isn't one of them. =/

[Sambojin]

Does trigger-happy increase the amount of shots though? Say to (8d3) x5 with two levels of it? I've heard it does do good things to the gamatron clerical beretta on auto-fire. Which has a strange "F" fire thing going though......

It's a little bit pointless though. That weapon is the first, last and only thing required to be an absolute destroyer as a shotgun build. With an assault/combat shotgun backup to save a little ammo you're laughing.

[Tavana]

No, Triggerhappy doesn't increase that. Shotguns aren't considered rapidfire weapons, sadly. It's considered a single shot weapon.
