Frostfang + healing shotgun makes for a well-balanced combo where you are practically the jack of all trades. Got a strong single-control shotgun that doubles as a melee when ammo is a concern and a healing shotgun with a tight spread, moderate damage, and the ability to be an off-healer. pretty much covers all bases
+ AA12 is best against tank zeds like Sk, Fp and Bosses. + HZ12 is cheap and easy to farm money efficient against weak zeds ie let's say early waves. + 301 med is very good against weak and medium zeds, it also allows to heal others if we don't have a medic in the team. + Shockgun is tier S on all general zeds (weak, medium and tanks), it's amazing at clearing groups of zeds together and killing them in one hit with the nova beam e.g. on closed maps, tunnels, doors, stairs.
The loadout I personally like most is the following: 1) Blunderbuss (upgraded once). 2) 301-Medic Shorgun. I love the tight choke, it's a very accurate weapon at mid and even longer ranges. 3) Vlad1000 Nailgun (upgraded once). Naturally, I need to choose High-Capacity Magazine Skill. S12 is great weapon, and I could switch it with Blunderbuss. But I find it too good and dull due to it's alt-fire ability, so I never use it. The Support has always been my favourite perk of KF2. I really like the weapons as well as the ability to give ammo and armor to my team mates.
Yes support is a good perk to use especially with all the space you can get. meaning you could use the AA12 + Doomstick at the same time which makes for a powerful combo. Not to mention you could even use 3 shotguns at once which is pretty cool.
Nice to see your video and opinion. Aa12: b tier. Good for newcomers but once you master support you realize how weak the dps is. Boomstick: A tier. Despite being nerfed it is useful plus you can use the alt fire to jump back and that can save your ass a alot in tricky situations. Upgrading it twice reverts it somewhat in its prime.plus its cheap and has a fast reload. 301 med shotty: ez s tier. Great price, great damage, can even flinch scrakes, excellent dps with high cap magazine skill upgrade it once and its amazing. Hrg buckshot: b tier. Decent sidearm. Dual wield has ok damage against big zeds but there are better alternatives. Still it aint bad but it aint a must have at the same time. Vlad nailgun: s tier. Upgrade twice, use high cap and destroy both fp and qp. For fp however learn to aim track its head during the rage animations. Hz12: s tier. Low weights, decent dps, huge ammo pool can be utilized with both elite reload and high cap magazine. Allthough its not recommended to use it against big zeds it packs good firepower and with enough training and skill you can use it to kill both sc and fp reliably. S12: S.
Honestly the AA12 is over rated, its a mag fed SG500 which is okay but not as good as his other weapons these days. The HZ12 is half the weight does more damage and has more spread making it better for hordes, the 301 med shotgun does more damage per shot and is lighter with a faster reload, the Shockgun does more damage with a larger ammo reserve, taking larger mags turn all of these into better AA12's and you can carry all 3 at once. The Frontfang is also kinda mid on support you have other shotguns that do the same thing but better like the M4 benelli is a the same weapon but with more damage and a larger mag. Its freeze isnt that useful since it only freezes scrakes which you can kill in like 2 seconds with most other weapons. Its better on surv/zerk because they get more bonus damage. Famais is cool, the AR benefits from your penetration making it great for clearing trash and you can fire a burst and fire the shotgun at the same time making it decent for killing larges. Its not S teir or anything but its a hell of a lot better than the single buckshot lmao.
imo a singular buckshot is a must have for support especially on a 10w game since its a light weight, low price, high dmg, decent ammo pool and a mag reload type... Also i fkn hate balistic launcher.. it stumbles and knock down zeds making hard for precision take down.. also goofy ass sound
I’ll always hold the opinion that the HZ12 might be the most underrated gun in the whole game.

Bouncer is actually op, spam it on the ground so it bounces to the zed
Bouncer stuns and makes even bosses trip backwards, thing is a lot better than people think.
