It fires a 3-shot burst, with each bullet as strong as a [[pump shotgun]], but with significantly higher firerate. Raw damage output is amazing, only being surpassed by the [[minigun]] (before accuracy) and the single-use [[triple rocket launcher]]. In addition, the chain shotgun can stagger pawns as large as a [[centipede]]. While each burst is inaccurate, stray shots can occasionally hit surrounding targets, making it a good crowd-control weapon. | It fires a 3-shot burst, with each bullet as strong as a [[pump shotgun]], but with significantly higher firerate.

It can be used to support melee fighters, and specialized [[killbox]]es take advantage of the shotgun's strength. It is especially good against [[infestation]]s and drop pods due to its stopping power, damage output, and crowd control, combined with the lack of range constraint. Note that even a shotgun won't be fired in melee combat, so keep your shotgun-wielding pawns slightly away from enemies, and engage shotgun-wielding enemies in melee. |

It'll generally take around 4 hits (~6.4 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. |
Overall, the chain shotgun is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 6, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | Overall, the chain shotgun is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 6, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | ||
