before we begin, lemme preface this: Guts is a great shotgun, I like it a lot and it looks cool. it being Rebeccas gun is great but it’s just not the best one.
with that out of the way we can begin. the headsman, when first picked up (depending on when you grab it in the game.) feels like a genuine beast of a gun. it lets me live out the Doomguy fantasy, it feels satisfying to use, and its a one shot Demon. Granted, depending on the shotgun this can also be the case but I’m focusing on The headsman.
the perks of the headsman:
again, the doomguy fantasy. the sounds it make are nice to hear. Great to use against scavs or maelstrom.
the gun combined with the obliteration perk bolsters it even further.
sandy + the headsman= head popping fun run.
kneel perk make its more fun.
downsides:
low-medium range which is stock standard for a shotty.
slightly slow reload, especially when you’re in a pinch against a boss or MAXTAC. is able to be assuaged if Your faster.
this is something I wish some of the guns had, but I wish that some guns came with bayonets. yes I know that dying night has a bayonet I get but you don’t use it. Just a simple pistol whip. I wish the headsman had a bayonet and it was a fully functional to stab scavs with. It would be Fun, it would be cool. In my opinion at least.
this entire take is in my opinion and I’d love to hear about yalls op and takes on this.
