Talk:Carrier Sentinel/@comment-94.192.227.98-20130916105907

The Sweeper shotgun is really, really good. However, the Carrier's attack precept has a much shorter engagement range than the precepts on other sentinels. Even though the shotgun is optimal at closer ranges, it is still very good at ranges much longer than Carrier will engage at. Putting Sweeper on a Wyrm or Dethcube is really good.

Also, as there's no page for the shotgun and Im a bit too lazy to create one - the shotgun does not seem to have to reload ever, but fires at a sort of intermittent speed (if you find enough enemies and test, it will fire constantly, but occasionally also fires two shots in rapid succession). It does not fire 2 shots as a time as suggested elsewhere. Its pellet spread feels akin to the Strun (ie, has way better range than point blank but not as good as the Hek). The damage is really good, certainly feels better than the Deth Machine Rifle especially if sstuff is dying faster than the spinup time.

Loving this shotgun - enjoying being able to work whilst running Venus and having my Wyrm with Sweeper oneshot enemies as they run at me :P
