sawed off shottys

[red_sundown]

so i need to get to level ten on sawed off the only problem is they are compleatly useless in pve not only are they weak they take longer to reaload than it takes for enemies to rush you wtf they used to work this is frustrating the eff outa me any body got a tip on raising sawed off level? im on eight so it looks like its gunna take me a year of grinding

Technically not true. I have a sawn off purple, Synergy: Veteran and while yes it is slow to reload get in close enough and it causes immense damage. It just a case of finding the right one that works for you. This is coming from a guy who just uses LMGs

I recommend the courier. its like a mini grenade launcher. Got my 10 w it and never came back lol

throw on cloak, toss in the two perks that give ego power recharge, and ego power cooldown on a full reload, add in the cloak perks for the same and the 30% damage perk while cloaked.

one shot almost every enemy that way, from there just keep doing san quenten over and over, can get any weapon to 10 in a day or two tops there.

Yeah, if you manage not to run into 5 other people doing it. lol

fastest way is to run co-op missions...u fight servral bosses and you dont need to rely on just yourself ...u can max a weapon fast in a few co-op matches ..plus its always good to not worry about getting killed when u have 3 people helping do the kills ...all u need is for that gun to hit and your gold

for the last week i've been doing it for the pursuits (only got semi-auto snipers left) i've been alone most times, or had 1 other person, maybe i just got lucky?

I ran into the same problem, tough skill to level. What i found useful, besides the courier, was to use melee. A courier with a melee mod, blur, and sonic strike can speed things up.

I like them for bigger enemies granted they do take awhile to load but, the damage that the guns do is great and I usually stick with those or any of the shotgun class.

I also like the bug guns too.

Yeah... idk. Maybe you aren't getting in close enough? It should be a 1-hitter-quitter on everything but elites if you are doing it right. Someone else mentioned the perk where a full reload recharges your EGO Power, except that rather than use Cloak, I like to use Decoy and the Sawed-Off for PvE. Get in close and when you get low on shields/health, throw out your decoy and continue. If you're doing it right, you'll clean out most groups of Raiders/99ers before they can run you out of shields, kill your decoy, and run you out of shields again. Use cover strategically and keep moving. Time your reloads so you put something in the LOS of your enemies while you reload and pop out and blast 'em.


Anyways, the weapon xp needed is based on the type of weapon, otherwise no one would ever even be able to get to level 2 with Rocket Launchers, seeing as the DPS of a Rocket Launcher is like 150, and the DPS of a VBI AR is something closer to 2000. Everyone says Damage = XP, and if that's the case, it's clearly scaled to the type of weapon.
