Is Skull Shaker Worth It?

W-870 is Better as a Starter Weapon

For a shotgun, having a higher damage is always better to one-shot kill enemies on the way and lessen the risk of getting swarmed. W-870 is better than Skull Shaker on that because of it's power and its ammo capacity!

You can still sell the Skull Shaker to earn some extra cash and use the money to buy other upgrades or items you need!

How to Use Skull Shaker

Good to Use Against Large and Elite Enemies

Due to Skull Shaker's firepower, it is best to use against an elite and even boss enemies. It can deal a lot of damage using only one bullet and stagger those enemies once they've taken enough damage.

Try not to use it against weaker mobs, especially if you're low on resources, and save it against stronger enemies.
