Haven’t used shotguns since 2.0 but it looks good for someone who doesn’t constantly forget that quick melee is a thing.

I like it. Quick melee is kinda clunky though and has made me just stand out in the open a few times.
Kerenzikov and Defensivkov make it feel like youre a machine.

Quick melee helps when you’re in the middle of reloading shotguns that take forever. Then follow up with a shot.

If you have a good shottie you can chain those like a motherfucker

Imo really good especially for a Carnage variant or the Order iconic since they’re so slow to fire you really want your shot to kill the guy.

I played a sandy+shotgun build but quick melee with sandy is awful so I removed the perk.
For some reason, while the quick melee hit is instant during sandy, the recovery time is actually slowed down. You’re unable to shoot for like 3 seconds after a quick melee while sandy is activated.
Idk if it’s fixed now. The last time I tried it was in 2.0

It is. I like it.
But I don’t use it consistently, and that doesn’t make it into a bad perk.

I love it. Makes V feel like Doomguy

On its own, it is fine. but if you pair it with a tank build, it is good. If you put a tank build and a tech shotgun build, it is op.

It’s garbage only because of how jank melee combat is

I like it with double barrel, not so much with the others.

Use it with Order and that shock on reload cyberware for an easy 4k damage

Great with DB-2 Testera but as someone mentioned already it is bugged with Sandy.

Tore through enemies with this and Guts. Run up, smack ‘em in the face, point blank shot to the chest and down they go.

Against bosses or other very high HP enemies it has its uses and in those cases it’s powerful, but quick melee is so clunky that I find it breaks the flow of combat.
I’ll almost never use it on the rank and file but with a sandy and a good shotgun it to melts bosses.

I like to play Halo 🙂 (unironically love this perk lmao)

My DB-2 Testera already does like 550 damage. I would just try to find a weapon mod or Cyberware that helps you to reload very fast for follow-up shots. A lot of the time at point blank it’s one shot. I want to get the “Knees” mod and try that out.

Would these two stack continuously? Am I misreading the description?

What I don’t like is that most of the time, I use quick melee when my shotgun is empty. So I just fired my last shot. So the quick melee gets the bonus. I’d rather have the bonus on the shotgun shot, but in reality it’s mostly the other way around. And killing someone with quick melee isn’t very satisfying imo
