Tactical Information
- The Double Freedom boasts the highest damage out of every other shotgun, surpassing M90A Shotgun's 605 damage by over 38%.
- It also boasts 50% durable damage, which makes it very effective against high-health, high durability enemies such as Alpha Commanders and Bile Spewers, capable of quickly destroying fatal parts without needing to reload.
- On top of this, the Double Freedom fires Medium armor penetrating buckshot.
- Due to the limited capacity, it is not recommended that Helldivers engage large groups or heavily armored enemies with the Double Freedom.
- Helldivers can set the Double Freedom to Volley mode to fire both barrels at once, providing a larger burst of damage in exchange for more frequent reloads.
- Recommended for the weak spots of heavy enemies at close distance, like Charger butts, Hulk vents, Impaler heads, Fleshmob heads or Harvester joints.
- Using Volley mode on close distance, Double Freedom is also capable to swiftly destroy structures such as Spore Spewer's or Bio-Processors and breaking Grounded Warp Ship shields.
- Using an armor passive that increases reload speed such as Siege-Ready and Reinforced Epaulettes will improve the damage output of the Double Freedom, especially when set to Volley, as it will reduce the downtime between firing.
