So I put two points into shotgun, tricked out that auto shotgun I looted and hunted zombie bear and direwolf

I'm running short on leather. An exploding crossbow bolt on a direwolf didn't leave anything.

Shotgun did have the hunter MOD and every other slot filled with something. There's a lot of slots for quality one weapon. Probably the best thing I've managed to loot ever. Killed them both one right after the other. Somehow they knew I was there so stealth did not help me. I survived. I was also almost dead. Lol
Just had a deep laceration and a broken arm.

That shotgun's an awesome weapon. Used slugs.

Normal difficulty. Ql5 assassins armor.

I play a STR build. Maxed out shotgun skill, legendary auto-shotgun + slugs is zombie killing fest. Make sure to use drum ammo clip mod!
Seems so OP

I agree a shotgun with slugs is pure pwnage. I have a hard time letting go of the pump shotgun because I love the reload sound so much.

Nothing to add as constructively. I read your title and didn't need to read the post.
