Boar

"The BOAR is an automatic shotgun. For a few glorious seconds, the BOAR provides maximum close range carnage."

- In-Game Description

The Boar is an "automatic" shotgun with a high rate of fire. Compared to other shotguns, the Boar's bears characteristically less accuracy and less damage per shot. With the widest shot cone of all available shotguns to date, the Boar excels at fighting large groups of lightly armored enemies at close range; against armored enemies or when fighting at any sort of range however, the Boar quickly loses effectiveness.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * High rate of fire.
 * High clip size.

Disadvantages:
 * Lower damage and accuracy compared to other shotguns.
 * Widest shot cone of all shotguns.
 * Rather ineffective against heavy armored foes.
 * Only effective at very close range.
 * Inefficient ammunition economy.

Acquisition
The Boar can be purchased for 50,000 or 225. The Boar has a minimum level requirement of 2 before purchasable. Keep this in mind when saving up for a shotgun.

Recommended Mods

 * Hell's Chamber (Multishot+), Shell Compression (Ammo Max+)
 * Flechette (Armor-Percing+) or Chilling Grasp (Freeze+)
 * Ammo Stock (Magazine Capacity+) or Tactical Pump (Reload Speed+)

Tips

 * The Boar has the single most inefficient ammunition economy of any shotgun to date.  The amount of ammunition supplied by a shotgun ammo pickup is exactly the same as its base clip, which in turn can be emptied in mere seconds with the trigger held down.  Count your shells and pick your targets.
