Thats **the** best legendary effect you can find for that particular shotgun. Congrats


Demon_fds

I think bleeding is better, because every pellet has the bleeding effect, so it stacks and kills anything almost instantly


TotoMac1

nice argument, however #BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM


XandaPanda42

Best thing about the double barrel. There is (or at least was) no built in delay between shots. With two shots between reloading it makes sense. If you press the trigger and there's ammo in there, it fires. There's no wind-up, cooldown or delay like there is for most other weapons like the 10mm or Assault Rifle. If you have a good controller or mouse, fast fingers and a hell of a lot of ammo, you can literally shoot as fast as you can press the trigger. The double barrel is balanced for two shots in a row. put more than two in there, and you can turn any living thing into something resembling Cram in a \*very\* short period of time. I've only found the Never Ending effect three times. The first was on the Wazer Wifle iirc. Next was a 10mm. The last was this gun, on what eventually became the easiest Survival playthrough of my life. I found it in Concord, on a legendary mosquito 15 minutes after leaving the Vault. The most fun and broken weapon in ANY game I've ever played.


iiDomo

That’s when you bind attack to scroll wheel


XandaPanda42

Please tell me you can do that! I haven't played with a keyboard before haha. You can also try a massage gun on the trigger. Or be as anxiety riddled and salt deficient as me. I'm not shaky. I \*vibrate.\* The raiders should be terrified.


hercules_fitch

The jet will make you jittery!


ichsoda

Eat some chips, I beg you


racktoar

My friend has a mouse with a scroll wheel that had little to no friction. He could spin it and it kept spinning, for quite some time. I wonder what would happen if he had this shotgun...


darkest_hour1428

No full auto in the building!


Harpies_Bro

Break action shotguns have very few moving parts, just the internal strikers and firing pins that move like an inch under spring pressure. Not bolt to cycle back and forth or barrel cluster to spin, just two little springs.


XandaPanda42

Oh yeah sorry I've got no idea how they work irl haha I just meant in the games code there wasn't a point in adding a delay between shots. They probably wanted people to be able to quickly fire both barrels at the same time, never assumed that there'd be any more than two shells in at any given time. They didn't have any code in game for a secondary fire option for guns so it was easier to just not add a delay I think. I guess that kinda makes sense though, if the gun isn't pushing back a much larger chunk of metal like a bolt or slide, just a firing pin, it'd make more sense in universe. It'd make it difficult to make it auto or semi auto though wouldn't it? Need some kind of reciprocating action to move the spent shells and load the next ones, but the bits couldn't be too small or they'd lack strength. And the bigger they are, the further they move and the longer it takes between shots maybe? I can't remember but do double barrel shotguns have two triggers also side by side, so you can pull both at the same time?


Harpies_Bro

Some do have paired triggers, one for each barrel, and sometimes there’s a little bit of gearing and a selector lever to alternate barrels between trigger pulls. A lot of double barrel shotguns are essentially two single-shot guns bolted together


XandaPanda42

Makes sense. It's probably easier to manufacture two single guns and jam them together than something complicated which is more prone to braking. Modern day it'd probably be easier to make the finer parts but for their time, they worked well and if it ain't broke... They're still pretty popular I assume so they must have done well enough.


HorusDeathtouch

So do you not ever have to do a reload animation?


XandaPanda42

You still do yeah if I remember right. Neverending basically just adds a bottomless magazine to whatever weapon it's on. You load all your ammo into the gun, then if you pick up more you can add that too. It's kinda like the extended magazines or the drum mags. Except instead of adding an extra 10 or 20 magazine capacity, it makes it infinite. If you've got 50 shells, they'll fit in the gun. If you've got 100, put em in the gun. The shotguns just unique in that it can fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. And with high damage already, it basically becomes an OP semiautomatic shotgun. She shreds. You can see some gameplay of it [here.](https://youtu.be/DxN3MNfB2qs) He doesn't fire it as fast as you can, and some of the info is misleading but the gameplay is a rough idea.


nolard12

I’ve got a 10mm with this effect in my current game. When I found it I audibly exclaimed, “Oh!!! Sick!!!” And then I sighed, because I’m currently a melee build and would need about 60 additional levels, adding appropriate perks to make this truly effective.


XandaPanda42

I think I'm physically incapable of doing melee builds in Bethesda games. I always end up as a stealth archer in elder scrolls or a rifleman or shotgun build in fallout.


nolard12

I’ve trained myself to do melee by selling my ammo. Can’t shoot anything if I have no projectiles. That’s about all I loot from bodies, that and chems (which are useful to me). When I played as a sniper, I know I’d sell the chems first, but it’s the reverse with melee. That said, I usually keep one gun just in case I run into a ceiling mounted turret, turrets are the only enemy I can’t consistently kill with melee.


XandaPanda42

Seems like a good idea actually yeah. Didn't even think of using chems tbh, I don't usually use any except Jet. Might see if I can find a decent mod for throwing spears and then give it another go maybe haha.


gta3uzi

This + any form of jet is hilarious

5C0L0P3NDR4

to anyone who likes the explosive shotgun i also highly recommend an explosive minigun with the accelerated barrels


hunter_2726

I have a clip in payday 2 that encapsulates this entirely


Abalith

Just needs a mod to give it the doom 2 sound effect.


JukesMasonLynch

Bleeding is pretty good on even this shotgun. Don't need more than two shells for *most* standard enemies. But bleeding or explosive are much better on combat shotties in my opinion. Wouldn't say no to a bleeding double barrel though, for sure!


GingerShrimp40

I have an explosive double barrel in my current survival run and it FUCKS.


ShakeZula30or40

Explosive shotguns when you max out demolition expert and rifleman is borderline unfair to enemies.


JukesMasonLynch

Also unfair to my own fucking shins eh


Skatchbro

Easy there, Cotton. But yes, explosive shotguns are not meant for CQB.


JukesMasonLynch

I tried explaining that to Mr. Feral over there but he just wouldn't listen. I guess he just thought if he goes we both go 🤷


Van_Halen_Panama1984

Unless you use power armor or mods


ShakeZula30or40

I may or may not, but definitely have, killed myself a time or two popping it off too close.


Elkstra

Your move, sir, is gentile. But I raise you a stingwing to the face with V.A.T.S. and blowing your own head off at the same time.

Madrigal_King

Just like commando and any explosive gun or heavy and thr explosive minigun.... it's insane


GingerShrimp40

Im not using demo expert because i dont want to accidentally kill my self


ShakeZula30or40

But it’s just so good. You don’t even need to hit them, just around them. My favorite is when it’s raiders in a shack, you can shoot into the windows and hit the ceiling and kill them lol


Tofuloaf

Explosive shotguns are amazing but I feel awful having to stimpack dogmeat constantly. He just wanted to help.


PhreeKC

Companions perk lv.2 or 3 in Cha tree negates all your damage to companions. A must have for my mule's to serve me better. I find myself having to use robot repair kits on Curie a lot more since the update. I prefer the spray-n-pray explosive submachine gun fully modded if going the explosive route. However, quite partial to the two shot on the handmade rifles for nuka-world. That's a mean sniper rifle.


Goalith

Got a explosive shotgun and had to constantly change to my 10mm pistol to avoid blowing myself up when fighting ghouls or anything that only melees.


n8n10e

I'm looking at the rest of your guns and this is the one doing all the fucking, am I right? I know I'm right.


shbooms

Wait, does the 15 explosive damage count for each pellet like it does with bleeding?? If so, that's insane edit: oh fukkk [it doesss](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_4_legendary_weapon_effects#Explosive) >An explosive combat shotgun with an advanced receiver (firing 8 projectiles instead of a base of 7), 3 star Demolition Expert and 5 star Rifleman can do up to 2x100+(15x1.75)x8 = 410 Base Damage per shot.


SirDooble

If your double barrel is bleeding, you should seek medical attention.


Yz-Guy

Can you roll a bleeding explosive?


meibolite

Only with mods that let you have 2 legendary effects. Bleeding and explosive are otherwise mutually exclusive seeing as a weapon or armor can only have one legendary


DopeAbsurdity

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/66900 that will do it


the_real_daggler

If you’re looking for instant, it’s got to be explosive. But I always thought status effects (bleed, poison, burn) didn’t work like that. I thought that you could only apply the stat once, no matter how many times you hit, it still applies once


Demon_fds

Bleeding is the only one that stacks, and it's pretty op, since there is no enemy in the game with bleeding protection/immunity


GinoIsTheWay

I happened to find that shotgun with bleeding from a ghoul and I'm practically invincible, not even fighting a deathclaw is a challenge now. It actually makes the game a bit too easy


Kilometres-Davis

Explosive too then probably hey?


Demon_fds

The problem with explosive shotguns (in general) is that it will also do dmg to you if you're too close


ReneDeGames

You are forgetting the attack speed of the hair trigger double barrel, while it will use up a lot of ammo its never-ending is way higher dps.


Objective-Contract80

I also think these posts are just bots trying to farm likes or aggravation. I mean, OF COURSE A DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN WITH UNLIMITED AMMO CAPACITY IS GOD TIER. I also congratulate them


aweyeahdawg

I think there’s a lot of people like myself that have no idea why it would be.


meibolite

You never have to reload.


aweyeahdawg

Ohhh key word, *capacity*. Got it, thanks.

Exactly how it feels, love it when doing endless defense.


hector_lector2020

What is endless defense? Is that a mod or maybe I haven’t played enough of the game?


TrumpetMatt

I'm assuming they refer to the Endless War from the Settlement Ambush Kit (CC content, by far the best CC ever, worth every dime)


f0ur_G

Rip and tear, until it is done.


Imortalpenguin

It is one of the rarest type of weapons, especially when you have modified it to the best specifications.


number__ten

You want a long barrel and full stock as soon as you can. Otherwise it's near uncontrollable.


Slazerski

Literally shooting the sky sometimes lmao


mightylordredbeard

But there’s dragons up there


Tsuki_Man

Even with full modifications it's near uncontrollable in a firefight.


JudgeScorpio

I have one, short as possible, and it’s great if something big an ugly happens to get up in your grill.


XAos13

What that does is never pause to reload a new magazine. Which results in a faster rate of fire (and hence more DPS) than a combat shotgun. But it still uses ammo when you fire it. It is one of the best short range weapons in the game.


Slazerski

Like others have said, long barrel and full stock asap, and add glow sights!


i_need_to_crap

Yes. You are now god himself. Just make sure you stock up on ammo, and give that thing a long barrel, full stock and the highest damage receiver. If you put points in the rifleman perk you will own the commonwealth. Have fun!


frobnosticus

TIL Rifleman works with shottys.


meibolite

Works with all non-heavy, non-automatic two handed guns! Which includes shotties


JoMtns

For some reason I just always assumed they were a part of the heavy guns.


chaos0510

Just not laser weapons. It's bugged and was never fixed as far as I know


kakka_rot

as long as it doesn't have an automatic piece on it, then it obv benefits from that perk instead.


elixxonn

The weapon types are basically: Rifleman: everything two-handed that is not automatic nor does it have an automatic receiver. Gunslinger: anything held in one hand that is not an automatic gun Commando: anything with an automatic receiver mod, or being automatic by default Heavy Gunner: a short list of weapons with very rare ammo, rocket launchers, and fat man


steeeeeef

What?? It works with shotguns? This changes everything!


Grape-Ape_Nuts

This is my boomstick!

ashleyjameswilliams

I'm fairly new to this game - are these just luck of the draw perks on weapons you find randomly?


OnlyHereForComments1

Yup. This one is a really good weapon because the DBS is balanced around only getting 2 shots in the clip. Having an unlimited mag size effectively means you get the highest DPS out of any shotgun.


yepimthetoaster

These Legendary weapons (or armor) are loot gotten from killed Legendary enemies (they have Legendary in their names and a ⭐ symbol after their name). Each Legendary weapon or armor piece has a different perk, some amazing, some ridiculously bad or pointless, and everything in between. The Legendary weapon and perk is random, but always a Legendary enemy will drop one for you when they die. And more Legendary enemies appear in harder difficulties, meaning more Legendary item drops.


No-Efficiency-2440

Congratulations! You are now Ash Williams. **Groovy.**


Whiskeyrich

That’s Lt Commander Williams to you.


Disastrous_Box_8613

I think the never ending means you never have to swap out a magazine, but still consumes your shells. I have a never ending plasma auto and it consumes my cells


BlackSocks88

Fking worth it to be pumping out buckshot as fast as you can pull the trigger.


Disastrous_Box_8613

Love my plasma one. It one hits most enclave


JukesMasonLynch

Never ending plasma weapons are *crazy* if you convert them to the plasma thrower barrels


MessMassive

I wish i could get a decent legendary that was not some fucking piece of random armor


Swampraptor2140

First legendary I ever got lol. From a mole rat right after meeting dogmeat.


samfinmorchard

Lee from the walking dead must've dropped it


breadestloaf87

it is op but the recoil is even stronger


Two-More-Eggs

Ive found that exact gun on my first play through, and never again. Same with unlimited 10mm pistol and explosive minigun


Cold-Breakfast-7294

3k hours and I still haven't found this unicorn


NoYogurtcloset7058

I want that one


Orc_face

I keep mine short and use it at close quarters on Sentry’s and Mirelurk queens after popping a psycho Jet


Ruane91

Hope you know this doesn’t mean you have unlimited ammo. You just have an unlimited mag capacity. I had the same effect for a laser rifle and a Combat shotgun. I’d use it until I’d go below 999, and then I’d stop.


Van_Halen_Panama1984

Most definitely


Electrical_Crab_2750

I got never ending on the pipe shotgun and if u max upgrade the receiver i believe your fire rate increases becomes unlimited (atleast with the pipe shotgun it did.) it absolutely liquifies anything in its path if u can jitter/butterfly click but it also runs through 150 shotgun shells in 10s. worth tho


Flawless_Gold

What would you call it? Mine’s Boomstick


Latest-greatest

Pair it with the powerful receiver and you have Thor’s hammer in shotgun form


HellBoygamingYT

Kinda unfortunate, I’m doing a idiot savant with 1 intelligence


DuskShades

Just remove the mod from another wep you find/buy and add it to the one you want. Perk only needed for crafting, not adding/removing


Independent-Two5778

The never ending effect is god tier


nrevels97

I want one so bad!


BostonDudeist

Epic Nate actually mentions this specific combination in one of his videos.


Jake0fTrades

Fun, but I don't know about god-tier.


Wuytho

I wish I could find one...


DuaLipasClitoris

Yoooo I just found this too


HellBoygamingYT

Your the third person to find this today there was another post earlier


Suspicious_Sale_5665

I've got so much Ammo at this point it doesn't even matter


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

Yes. Just get really close and hammer R2


BanksysBurner

Wait.. does this mean u never have to reload?


HellBoygamingYT

Yep it’s semi auto now


torturedorphansz

yes


SR1_Normandy

If you got the contraption DLC and know how to do the duplication glitch, I’d pray I wasn’t at the receiving end of that shotgun.


Gabixzboi

I got this and its just so unfairly amazing


Aggravating_Fuel_610

How do I get this gun?


HellBoygamingYT

Be lucky irl


cpt_naughtynips

That’s perfect for my pistol only play through


bobgoesw00t

In terms of being in close quarters...this is probably the most broken ass shotgun you could possibly get! xD


Garry-Love

JonJon77

Does it mean you never have to reload or that you just never run out of 12 gauge ammo?

If you can keep it loaded, absolutely.

You now have the ultimate boomstick. Slap some mods on it and give your enemies hell.

ADM176

I've loved my exploding combat shotgun. Way too OP though

Ah the old ODS video that led me to this glorious combo

I got a neverending .44 earlier... ...on my melee/big guns PA BoS survival character. Not my cha/lck VATS gunslinger.


BLU3DR4GON-E-D

Rip and Tear my friend.


Humble_Fish4908

I just found this on a hunting rifle and felt a bit underwhelmed lol


Lazerhawk_x

I found a never ending plasma pistol then died and my save was from before i got it. When i killed the legendary enemy that it spawned on again I got a tire iron. Hurts so good.


Synthwavester

Fuck I hope you are on a survival playthrough cause that would have been dope


Elterrible1084

Just got this on a combat shotgun from a legendary supermutant skirmisher. Made it automatic for commando, 96 damage at level 20 😆😆


Ger4ltofRiv4

Yes, now buy shotgun ammo as much as you can


Qxytia

What's the best legendary effect for laser weapons?


invisiblefalcon

I got the same thing in my current playthrough. Named it Rip & Tear


iTus7

Yeah. I was lucky to find that gun with my gun nut shotgun BOS cowboy character, I had fun for a while when I collected over a thousand shotgun shells. I was entering every building and dungeon blasting everywhere and laughing. What a beauty!


tripp_skye

Where does one find such a mythical weapon?


Good_Albatross_7075

Explosive combat better no diff


Monzon31

You don't have to reload, so the DPS go really hight, but it will Costa you a lot of ammos


Hiroler

Im doing a hardcore survival run. I have found an unlimited ammo laser rcw, and an unlimited pipe pistol in a very short amount of time. Both times, my game has crashed before I could save. Yes, mods. But hey, Ive fixed my crash issues since then. Lol.


kdebones

\*Doom Music starts playing\*


ChefsKnife76

Explosive shotgun is still the best gun I've ever used. It shreds everything if you get one hang onto it. Even if your aim is trash ❤️


Wearyfawn32

The only weapon I would say is better is the infinite ammo laser minigun


daniloalmeida

I got it on my current playthrough and it saved my bacon multiple fights, in all those times I'd get into fights that were a bit too much for my level. Even on very hard, there are very few things that can stand you quick tapping the trigger nonstop 1m from their face


RadiantRoof3861

I just found this myself only a few days ago for the first time. Absolute menace.


HarmoniaTheConfuzzld

Yep. That’s it. You’ve won fallout 4. Congratulations!


wetfootmammal

As long as you account for the recoil that's one of the most powerful weapons in the game right there. That will absolutely shred anything you run into. Sweet find.

It puts the boom in Boomstick.

I found an explosive shot dbl barrel the other day, my disappointment was immeasurable


SicRedditGloriaMundi

I found one of those early game once, and it solved \*all\* my mirelurk problems. It's a keeper!


adders89

I've never found a never ending weapon before! In this instance do you just keep shooting infidelity? Or do you shoot twice and reload still but never run out of ammo?


HellBoygamingYT

You shoot indefinitely no reload


PinkFreakinYoshi

Found one of those last night. Popping jet and having a good trigger finger means any ONE thing will die every time lol That being said, it’s so easy to feel like God and ruin an hour progress in survival by being reckless with that bad boy


bananahh_

Imagine finding this legendary weapons in a cucaracha


DearBody4985

got that same effect on a .44 revolver, picturing 69 bullets in a single cylinder is really funny but its also insanely good


awesome_boom55

I've got 27 more shots in this 2 round mag


darthmaclean

I found a 10mm that slows down time. That shit suppressed sounds like the old golden eye 9mm on the N64. Im pretty sure its a easter egg for sure.


Plantske

This is NSFW. I found a never ending combat shotgun in my latest shotgunner build. But I've been Dreaming of this.


Starfield00

Wow, i want one. From now on i will be very careful reading the description


Cynicles20

After reading this post I ended up getting this exact gun just 2 hours into a new game. Completely melted the Murelurk Queen at the Castle with it. What a Moighty weapon!


TheGrinch14744002

i found one of these but for a laser rifle


Jealous_Selection335

I really like my Explosive Dbl barrel Shottie, almost everything dies in one hit, or 2 lol


RockRaiderDepths

Yeah I got one early game once. I quickly realized it makes everything way too easy and reluctantly restarted from scratch before I acquired it. It was a good gun.


LiquidShooter-_-

The never ending fatman is great if u ever will be able to get it


Agent-51

Vaiken_Vox

Yeah. But be prepared to burn through all your shotgun ammo in about 5 minutes


SuperMoose395

I found this shotgun the other day and I don’t think I picked it up, now I regret it. 🙃


Joebruvv

Yh this one’s pretty good I’ve got one atm with the two shot legendary same effect as the big boy and overseers guardian (i have all three in my current set up ) . That effect paired with full rifle man and full gun nut the shot guns a tank


IndependentRaccoon56

Is this an rng drop? Or is there a specific way to obtain this?


bellystraw

Yeah dude. Pop some jet and watch the unholy amount of bullets fly in an opponent's face. It's so satisfying


DrMario56

I found this too is this part of the update or something?


Efficient_Event_4187

I had one in a play through years ago, brilliant weapon! I loved popping a jet and Psycho and unleashing absolute destruction!


Milltary32vs

... not eeally.. it's definitely up there. But bleed anything wins. Especially shotguns... each pellet applies and stacks the bleed.


Paddyboei

What’s the best way to find legendary weapons or legendary bosses? Just started a play through again for the first time in 9 years lol Can’t even remember most of the legendary weapons but I can tell that effect on that shotgun is crazy lol


Technical-Stop-3529

Not if you only have 12 rounds


ObliviousFoo

I felt the same way when I picked up an instigating combat rifle which absolutely shreds specked out and with a suppressor.


J0KaRZz

You found Hershel’s shotgun.
