Is the Riot Gun Worth It?

End Game Carrier

The Riot Gun's damage output makes it one of the guns you would want to keep until final boss. Its fully upgraded power amounts to 12.8 which can go exponentially higher when upgraded with its exclusive perk.

A fully upgraded Riot Gun's power with its exclusive perk amounts to 19.2 power, making it one of the most powerful weapons in the game.

Best Shotgun

Anti-Elite and Boss Weapon

The Riot Gun fashions a more compact spread compared to the other Shotguns, this makes its damage range farther and can lock on weak spots efficiently; making it a perfect weapon to use against bosses and elite enemies for players who like to go up close and personal.

How to Use Riot Gun

Good Against Large and Elite Enemies

The Riot Gun is a semi-automatic shotgun that boasts decent stopping power, rate of fire, and reduced recoil. It is particularly effective in taking down high-value targets like elite enemies and bosses.

Try to avoid using it against weaker enemies, unless you have no other options and need to quickly thin out a horde of enemies.
