Tactical Information
- Like the P-4 Senator or SG-8 Punisher, the Bushwhacker reloads one shell at a time. This means that whilst its triple-barrel fire can obliterate many foes at point blank, it leaves the user vulnerable during the extended reload time. Single shots are more than enough to dispatch most smaller targets, so the triple-shot mode should be reserved for serious threats.
- The Bushwhacker is a suitable Secondary weapon for Helldivers seeking close-range burst damage and stagger. The Bushwhacker has enough stagger force to keep even Stalkers at bay.
- It is a one-handed shotgun that offers two distinct firing modes. The first mode allows for precise single-barrel shots, while the second mode fires all three barrels of 10-Gauge Buckshot simultaneously.
- Its unique design and versatile firing capabilities make this weapon well-suited for close-quarters combat situations.
