So I just recently hit level 50 and am possibly looking at having Jakobs shotguns as my main damage dealer, exclusively using a Rustler’s Moonface. A level 44 Coach Gun got me through to the end of the game, and I’m eager to see how a 50 Moonface with desired parts ends up doing, I’m positive it will wreck face. This is how the spec turned out at the end of our TVHM playthrough, and with some early feedback here is the current version of it:
Looking at Snapshot vs Quick Shot, the 30% gun bonus is awesome while hip firing and when in Showdown, the accuracy from Snapshot seems to be negligible compared to the hipfire damage boost.
