    Elephant Gun thread - The gentlemen's weapon.

    Everyone knows this thread was going to be created sooner or later...
    haha

    How do you use your elephant gun?
    What plasmids do you use with it?
    What tonics?
    What secondary weapon?

    Personally, I like to use it without plasmids. Sure, maybe I'll use Houdini or Incinerate! with it, but those are both more defensive for me. If you can aim, you can get countless amount of instant kills, even without electrobolt.

    I use the scope, winterblast, and houdini. My sidearm is a pistol and my tonics are fast feet, backstabber, eve saver. I only really use the elephant gun for long range kills, otherwise I like the pistol. I mostly use houdini but i've been trying out winterblast alot more lately.

    I use the Clip upgrade, Tommy gun w/ROF upgrade as my secondary weapon. Most of the time I use Winter Blast, or no plasmids at all.

    I have a collection of angry Xbox messages and a kill count that puts me in the top 100 players that surely tells you that I use Electro Bolt with my Elephant Gun.

    Though I can't decide whether I like Damage Increase or Slug Increase better...

    EG is a pretty fun weapon, so satisfying to get an instant headshot

    The scope is really nice, but there is lots of close quarter fights on some maps so not really used to much

    The Damage upgrade makes it like a second, make-shift shotgun for me since it deals half there health

    If I actually go for sniping, the slug upgrade is best to I have a lot more room for error then just two shots.

    I reached 75 on the leaderboards for XBL (before I got banned... haha) without using electrobolt. I despise electrobolt and the elephant gun.

    Crossbow throws the shotgun and elephant gun to the gutter. damage increase + headhunter = ultamate tool of destruction. Although I do ocasionaly use the elephant gun only because you can use a scope :/

    Elephant gun? Oh, you mean that thing that looks like a shotgun, but is just a lowly impostor...

    j/k... seriously though, I've never been a super duper sniper/long range fighter. Just as well, because I prefer up close and personal carnage.

    Welp, carry on, enjoy your gun lovers thread.

    The EB+EG spam is getting quite ridiculous on the PC. I'm sticking to my trusty EG+Shotty and Houdini+Aerodash, but man oh man I think that combo gets me riled up more than the grenade launcher. Although I have to laugh when people can't even headshot me while I'm eb'd that just says it all. Sometimes I can houdini and come behind them, depends on if the persons twitch skills aren't up to par.

    The crossbow is the elephant gun's retarded brother You don't have the option to use any upgrade you please, and you need to take up a valuable tonic slot in order to make it a one shot kill. I still love the CB though. Just not as much as the EG.

    I told myself I wouldn't use the EG + EB combo ever again, but after playing continuous games against nailgunners I leave myself no choice. Although I'm only going to use it it when the other team is mostly nailgunning, or one guy keeps pissing me off. I don't care if it's cheap haha, I need to shock nailgunners so I might as well kill them fast while I'm at it.

    *facepalm*
    crossbow is better. The crucial factor is if you miss the headshot you only need 2 bodyshots, where as eg is 3 body shots which it has 2 barrels (unless you use extra slugs). And the fact that we use a tonic slot for our gun shows dedication to our gun. The only thing I will give kudos 2 is the scope. If used right it can be dangerous but I find it hard to find many places to take advantage of range other than Kashmir and fort frolic.

    Uhh, most if not all EG users that don't spam eb+eg combos use damage increase. The scope is utterly useless 99.99999999% of the time and the extra ammo is meh, I'd rather either headshot or 2 body shot kill people and if I have to deal with extra people use my shotty.

    I don't spam eb and find the scope pretty efficient in fort frollic. As for damage increase the rate of fire is slightly faster than crossbow's damage increase but the crossbow still has more ammo capacity which sealed the deal for me. But everyone has their own opinions and I respect that.

    Also there is a really nice sniping point in neptunes bounty, just make sure you destroy the rocket turret first

    Yes but you don't have to reload in between each shot either . I'm on the PC and zoom is fubar'd anyway. It is extremely blurry when you zoom in or go ironsights so that may make me a bit biased.

    I feel like aiming with the scope is less effective than attempting to no-scope accross the map. Maybe its just my aiming technique.

    I personally like to use slug capacity with the EG, because I only attempt headshots, and it gives me a couple more chances. The scope doesn't give me any benefits to get me a headshot.

    I find this funny, because the elephant gun is stronger (in terms of damage) in every way than the crossbow.

    With damage upgrade, they both kill in 2 shots, but with the elephant gun killing instantly with a HS. Without the damage upgrade, they both kill in 3 shots, but the elephant gun you only need 2 shots + a plasmid, or one headshot again.
