I am a fan of fanshot , again used in the right situation it can be devastating. However i learnt my lesson with it the hard way as most pistoleers do - critter close to lair, on his own , fan shot , lair spawns all go aggro on me and im looking up at the sky within a few minutes!


But , you would have thought i had learnt my lesson , made Master Pistoleer , 'ello' i say , 'wots the ere Mutli Target Shot do then', with my back to a group of Imp Troopers , and a single Sharnaff in front - use Multi Target Shot and within 3 seconds flat im DB by 10 Imp Trooper while the naffs stands by and laughs!


Scarey special!

I love fanshot! It kicks ass when you've got 4 or 5 mad TMK's chasing you...burst run and spam fanshot...soon you've got a bunch of dead TKM's behind you.

Multi-target shot isn't broke. Its just one would be strained to find utility in it hehe...


It does decent dmg. But it does NOT hit multiple enemies at once. It simplytargets something else within firing range andfires off a random ham dmg shot.


Maybe a good way to piss off everything around you without lining them up for a fanshot hehe...

You are wrong sir. It does hit multiple enemies at once. I recently used it on baz nitches on dath. I had the whole lair on me (that's how I like to do things hehe) and I used multi-target shot and it hit about 4 of them at one time. It only did about 1300 damage to a single target and random to the rest of them.


I thought it was broken too and never used it.....this particular time I accidently hit the wrong hotkey when I was firing (fanshot hotkey is next to multi target) and I noticed that it seemed like it was hitting multiple targets.....so I continued to use it focusing on how many targets it was hitting and sure enough it was hitting multiple targets in a very big radius.


It's still a bit random though. It doesn't seem to hit multiple enemies all the time. Sometimes it hits 1 enemy multiple times.


Fanshot is stronger, faster and more accurate. Multitarget has a bigger radius and does less damage overall.

I dont see how you say fan shot isn't good! It does about the damage of stopping shot, but it has almost no delay. I use it for all situations, except for when I am surounded by grizzled dew backs or some other really tough enemy that I dont want to start a fight with. How you beat stuff with just pistol whips and bleeds I don't know. Fan shot hits faster than a bleed ticks, and it usualy hits for more damage.



The combat upgrade and NGE fixed the ground game beyond repair. Thats why I stick to space as of now.
