MarczXD Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I would like to make a topic dedicated to what in my opinion is the best gun in the game. The Pump-Action Shotgun. What makes this gun my favorite in the game is not only the damage obvious, but the distance it can kill, even with the standard shells it can kill a target at a surprisingly far distance. Based on the Winchester Model 1897. Show me your customized pumps and lets discuss about it.

HockeyMike24 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I was thinking of starting a similar topic on this weapon. The sound effects are amazing for it. That pump sound, then the shot and the head of your enemy exploding. This is my go-to for close combat on horse and on foot action. I haven't even tried the auto or lever shotgun yet. I can't get enough of this weapon. Would also like to add, I usually never use shotguns in games. VIPERGTSR01, CrimsonFolo and saintsrow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFolo Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 this gun is pretty good with free aim aswell. Also can dismember people which is a bonus Jedster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan_J Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I haven't spent nearly as much time with this weapon as it probably deserves. There is something so cool about the classic long barrel double barrelled shotgun that makes it my number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsport Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 this is the gun that was called the trench sweeper in ww1 right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedster Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I agree, it's a great weapon and my second long one to go for, right after repeater. Especially effective while on horse with slug ammo... I just realized that I didn't customize it yet, have to do it when I get home from work... saintsrow and caiaof 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeniorDerp Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Love mine. It replaces my full length double barrel as my close range. My only wish is to be able to put a pistol grip on it and one on the pump. Probably not period correct but it would be awesome saintsrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly, holds 5 shells so it’s a little more capable but after some upgrades I think it’s more powerful that the double barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woggleman Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The weapon just feels badass while using it. This and the lancaster repeater. saintsrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMike24 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Pump-Action damage: 2.5/4 Double Barrel damage: 2.5/4 Sawed-off damage: 2.8/4 According to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAS_Intruder Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I like it but double barrel is still my preferred one because it is more challenging. To be hones, weapon selection is weakest point of this game so far. Can't figure out why we have more canned food variety than revolvers. But yeah, that shotgun is very good. I prefer it with stock looks. saintsrow and ¡MAYDAY! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonitram Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Shotguns have been my favorite kind of weapon ever since 1993 Doom. My favorite pump-action shotgun was the hunting shotgun from Fallout: New Vegas, but I'm loving the one from RDR2 possibly even more. saintsrow and VIPERGTSR01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It's my favourite too. Everything about it is so good, the sound, the reload animations, the pump animation when you get it out and press left trigger. So good. saintsrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjrOu812 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) The shotgun is a great weapon for close and medium range combat....it paints well? Edited November 1, 2018 by MjrOu812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You manually switch to it by opening up the weapons wheel highlighting the gun you want, while the gun is highlighted your ammo options will be shown in the middle of the wheel, you switch between ammo using the D pad. saintsrow and Cigars and chill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebeldevil Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The pump action is my house cleaning tool of choice. Took a dude's arm clean.off with it. He wasn't happy about the impromptu amputation, let me tell you. MagicNarcosis and caiaof 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanta Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I had the Semi-Auto, the catalogue in the Gunshop says I own it, however, it is no where to be found. Was thinking about getting that Lever-action shotty but the stats on the pump give it a slight edge, just not sure I want to buy another weapon to have it go Bye-bye again. So far my DA revolver and autoloader have gone AWOL. Was thinking of dual-wielding sawed offs but the reload rate and range might be an issue in a firefight if I can't switch to a repeater as the game has a nasty habit of removing my loadout and leaving it on the horse before story missions when I go in having exactly what I am going to need to turn the Bad Guys into Ghosts.

Mine usueally tosses me once it gets serious or I get shot out of the saddle trying to figure out where the shootin' is comin' from. Best for me to skeedaddle till I see the red dots then turn with my carbine or Bolt Action. Get on the lower side of a hill so you are out of sight and pop them as they come over looking for you.
