The Choke Beetle, far and away. i can see it becoming a part of my regular loadout in team play.

If i were any good with a hand crossbow, my opinion might be different, but i suck with it, and never take it… so the choke drone it is!

    I thought id be a drilling fan, but i have hardly used it. However, im more of a bush wookie, so tend to go for scope and a pistol. If i were more of a pusher, i think the driller would be the beans.

    As prophesied, the choke beetle has been very handy … Especially as chaotic as the post patch event maps have been.

      The drilling is definitely more of a close range weapon. Dum dum and buckshot are amazing. Though the standard rifle ammo does have decent muzzle velocity for some range. Like having a Romero with two Springfields on top 😄

      Still, I can understand how it wouldn’t be as useful for long range combat. I have found the UpperMatt to be useful at range, but I think it’s because the MV is closer to the Martini and I’m used to leading that hah.

      I don’t really use the beetles, but the choke beetle does seem like it would be very useful.
