Mastiff is so easy to use. I rack up kills consistently with that weapon. Well timed shot decides the battle. Even a half missed shot can hinder the enemy enough. Early game, you can easily wipe a 3-man squad with 3 shots.

fun! For me. Fun for me I mean. Please don't nerf it, I want my cheesy kills. ^^

@Peri_Longbow_plz Yeah the Mastiff can be brutally unfair early game good point.

A half missed shot is worthless though. If a shotgun user hits you with a low damage shot at close range you should push hard. That's always worked for me at least.

I'm not sure why people consider the measly 13-52 damage from a missed/low damage shot to matter.

@Zamaha400 Every bit of damage matters. I would assume you don't hit 100%, otherwise you'd be champion of the arena 24/7. My accuracy is about 25%. If I had to put a number out. But even if just 1/4 bullets hit, it's still damage.

  @Peri_Longbow_plz Mastiff kills in 2-3 hits. Graze your enemy twice in a fight and it still takes 2-3 more hits to kill.
  A little bit of damage helps if you plan on switching to another gun but it doesn't shorten the TTK for the Mastiff.

    @Zamaha400 You are basically saying that missing your shots is a bad idea. Take a guess on what thing you shouldn't do when using any weapon. The point is, your point is invalid.
    
    Mastiff has quite a large damage output. It's easy to obtain as well, and also pretty easy to one-hit kill several people in the beginning. Get your hands on a Mastiff, do a bit of aiming, and you can rack up kills like it's no problem. And yes, I've done it, multiple times. No weapon comes remotely close to the Mastiff performance-wise. Yes, snipers are also capable of one-hit killing, but those require straight up headshots, which is a skill in itself. Pointing your aim at someone's chest however is not, especially if they're at point-blank.
