Title: MAd does not affect plasma shotgun
Post by: yaflhdztioxo on March 15, 2011, 05:19

on account of it being plasma instead of shrapnel.  Since ignoring armor is better than halving armor I would consider this a bit illogical, and thus a bug.

This actually renders the plasma shotgun more useless than it already is, which is a feat in and of itself. Why any non-AoSH player would want to use the plasma shotgun is beyond me. For other than novelty purposes, that is.

What about this: You can go Fireangel and get the Plasma Shotgun (Or modding a Plasmatic Shrapnel), getting that way MAd, too. It's like combining Vampyre with a Butcher's Cleaver.

I stand corrected.

I enjoy it, all except for the ammo consumption.  It's also the only shotgun that can destroy walls making it a useful toy for AoSh.

Ergo the plasma shotgun is like the rocket launcher of AoSh?

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that either. The ammo consumption was the main thing I had in mind when I issued my earlier statement.

it also uses power cells not shells, just in case sargents don't spawn in hell
