| − | + | {{info|The chain shotgun is a considerably heavy, 'automatic' firearm in RimWorld which fires 3-shot bursts of high damage rounds, very short range, and very poor accuracy.}} | |
| − | + | Despite these caveats, the chain shotgun is capable of dealing out tremendous amounts of damage when spraying at clustered enemies, or at a single large foe due to the accuracy bonus received from doing so. Due to the fact that it's very short-ranged, the chain shotgun is a great weapon to equip even on people with very poor (<93% post-processed) shooting accuracy - without being penalised too badly. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | One scenario where the chain shotgun could prove to be extremely potent is when used in [[Defense structures#Killboxes|killboxes]], where the short distance and bunched up enemies allow this weapon to be unleashed at its full potential - but the improved AI in Alpha 17 could make this tactic somewhat less useful, and not everybody likes building killboxes as they take a lot of challenge out of the game. | |

| − | + | ===Obtaining=== | |
| + | As with most other ranged weapons, the chain shotgun can be purchased from outlander weapon caravans, and from orbital weapon traders - or obtained via incapacitating a chain shotgun-wielding outlander or pirate. Chain shotguns can also be manufactured at a [[machining table]] once the [[research#machining|machining]] research has been completed; for 70 [[steel]], 5 [[component]]s, and 45,000 ticks (750 secs) of work. | ||
| − | |||
| − | + | ===Conclusion & Comparison=== | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | The chain shotgun has extremely high damage potential owing to its zero-compromise damage per shot, and triple-burst nature; it is literally the 3-shot burst version of the [[pump shotgun]], and the [[LMG]] of the shotgun world - but its major caveats are its extremely handicapped range and accuracy, for the sake of balance to prevent this weapon from being absolutely insane. Against normal-sized targets, the chain shotgun still has superior damage output to the pump shotgun, but falls behind more accurate weapons such as the [[heavy SMG]]. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | However, against larger targets where the accuracy gets a positive multiplier, and at higher weapon quality levels, the chain shotgun can even usurp the almighty [[charge rifle]] in terms of having the highest damage output out of any standard ranged weapon in the game - an impressive feat to be sure. As previously mentioned, the chain shotgun can also be used for point-blank crowd control, to make use of the many missed shots that will inevitably occur. | |
