 Today guys we take a look at a new addition, shotgun-wise to the alien tech Torg family. It's called the Shaka and is it stepping on the toes of the love? Well today people we find out. How's it going guys my name's DPJ and today I'll be giving you another BF3 video if you do enjoy living a life really helps out and subscribe if you do want to see more. So the Shaka is a new shotgun exclusive to the guns 11 tentacles DLC and its dedicated drop is an enemy called Vaultborn who is located within the Neagle Nessai on Xylagos and I'm pretty certain it drops offering shock only. So looking at the shotgun on paper it's quite decent but if we do compare it to the LUB it kind of lacks in all departments but guys we have seen many many times that stats on paper don't really determine how good a weapon can be. So looking at the weapon and how it performs we see with its low mag of four consuming two ammo per shot it fires a LUB like orb projectile that splits into three which do indeed travel at some speed. Damage wise it's okay in a single target but I do feel you get more out of this thing from area of effect damage and letting off against and screwed up. What's dropping to the LUB we see here damage is considerably higher. This test by the way to make sure it's as fair as possible I'm doing without any class mods or artifacts equipped. So yeah the LUB deals way more damage there's no two which ways about that. So using this shotgun for about three or four hours straight I can tell you it is a great weapon. An enemy with a shield stands absolutely no chance then fast firing projectile speeds paired with the three orbs means even targets at great ranges don't really stand a chance. Enemies at closer ranges with this thing comparing it to the slow firing LUB though they were just so much easier to hit and do damage too. Using the LUB in many instances you will notice a target at close range will sometimes move throughout your projectiles touching them. There's no chance with that happening here with this shotgun and after the time I did spend using this thing it does share many similarities with the LUB but I do feel they are completely different weapons. While the LUB is amazing for single target damage and just laying down ultimate amounts of damage due to its orbs penetrating targets and doing tick damage. This thing is capable of many things you can't really do with the LUB but hey taking that into account I personally don't think I will see anybody taking this over the LUB shotgun. The LUB just makes everything almost everything the game offers a walk in the park. Well if this way even with my shuckers anointment of 100% while Sentinel is active applied damage wise it still lacked about 100 levels compared to the LUB and the damage output the LUB is capable of and within a game where dealing max damage in real short time is almost always a necessity the LUB just can't be touched by such weapons. So yeah guys my thoughts on the Shucker is a very very good weapon indeed it has a lot of uniqueness to it and away performs but at the end of the day if you have a LUB I don't feel this would be too beneficial to you unless you are after something specific. But all in all it is a great weapon if the LUB wasn't in this game I'd pull it up there with some of the best shotguns in the game but considering it's older brother the LUB is a much much better weapon in almost every single way and comes in all elements. Again unless you are after something specific like the Shucker for a certain build I don't feel it will be any use to anybody out there who does have a selection of LUB's in their bank.
