The shotgun's biggest advantage is the size of its magazine, which may seem small, but is in fact a real advantage for making the most of the "mental connection" upgrade, combined with a good crit chance rate and a good reduction in reload time, makes it a weapon of mass destruction. The loss of fps is mainly due to the "piercing" upgrade and the number of visible enemies, if you take more than 3 times this upgrade, the game starts to have big freezes with each shot, as soon as a bullet hits more than 2 enemies... :( (this is only the demo, so it's bound to be fixed) and it doesn't matter which weapon you start with, as long as it's the demo, a single upgrade in piercing is enough, 2 at most. For the hardcore map, the start is complicated if you don't pick up certain upgrades quickly, you're quickly surrounded, there's no time to loot or light a campfire... I managed to finish it with the pistol, it was complicated, but also a good challenge to do, now I just have to complete it with the other 2 weapons.
Awesome info man! Yeah with the shotgun + mental connection sanity just stops becoming an issue. I wonder if they'll eventually add something that would address stamina the same way that vampirism and mental connection does. Aaaaahh got it! I though it was because I had too many enemies on screen. Yeah but I trust that they're gonna be fixing it. This demo definitely has me putting a lot of faith in the devs lol. Nice! I'm excited to try clearing it. I feel like you're gonna need most of the upgrades though...
I wouldn't say that you have to unlock all the upgrades to pass the hardcore map, but some are highly recommended, as they provide a significant boost while you're getting a few levels in. I've just completed it with the shotgun, and once I've recovered a bit of sanity, using the flamethrower skill (by staying pressed, it consumes a bit of sanity) while shooting with the shotgun increases your damage a bit, but above all it brightens up your surroundings, so you can see enemies better, even if it doesn't prevent sanity loss due to darkness
I hate that the most effective Beemer variants are based around the -1Gb. If it packs two PPCs without the shoulder missile rack, it might as well be a Marauder. For my part, I keep the ER PPC and the 4 torso Mediums, then replace the SRM 6 with an MML. So it can shoot two weapons at long range. With some advanced tech you can have something like the Gb but still have the MML instead of an ER PPC.
