Rapid_snail 1 Posted July 7, 2018 Hello guys! Just bought the Shredder Eb Pr3 from armas and i found it very good against silvers however i found it almost useless against golds. Maybe im not good enough for facing golds with it or the weapon is bad and i got lucky with it? What do you guys think about the weapon? Is it good with the preset mods or not, if its not then what do you suggest for mods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotbot 16 Posted July 7, 2018 It's not a very good gun honestly, it is really weak against most other pointman weapons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rapid_snail 1 Posted July 7, 2018 Hmm don't know could be. Maybe its just me but i like to play with guns that differs from the current oca/nhvr/ntec meta. Its just very boring to play almost all the time against groups with the same weapon setups. So i'm using weapons that are rare or just not in the current meta even if it affects my game performance (sorry about that tryhard golds). It gives more color to the game. So at least my opp doesent have to face the same guns all the time. Its more fun when you rekt someone with a shit gun. But its just me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5378 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) You said it yourself, the Shredder is not meta. Its limited range (20m) and long ttk (0.84 seconds) make it a big underdog against most smg/shotgun/AR users. It does however do a fair ammount of hard damage which is nice, especially in car chases, and unlike other shotguns IR3 (raising range to 27m) is actually helpful given the shredder's tight spread. Most useful mods for the shredder are IR3 and mobility sling so you made a good choice with the preset version. As with any non meta weapon, you are going to have to outsmart your opp in order to get off the first shot(s) as you will be at a disadvantage in almost any even 1v1 situation. But as with anything, its important to have fun, and it sounds like you are so in a way, youve already won! Edited July 8, 2018 by CookiePuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially against players who cant counter it because they are not familiar with the underrated guns but yeah in a play style like this there ups and downs very often but thats the way of APB doesent it?

OvermoderatedForum 71 Posted July 8, 2018 It's really not THAT bad of a gun. Hang on it to it though since based on the recent weapon balance news, the underused guns are slowly going to be getting changes. Shredder isn't on that list yet but at some point it should be. In the meantime it's still a fun gun to use in Fightclub 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninetenduh 40 Posted July 8, 2018 shredder could use a ttk buff tbh, but mostly the gun is really satisfying when you finally get a kill with it, and it sounds cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitne 724 Posted July 8, 2018 Shredder got some registring issues from what I saw so yeah... For now it's pretty garbage to use against other pointsman weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least the DMR gets off a stun sometimes, and has no recoil. This gun has crazy recoil. slow firing (compared to ISSR variants) and welp, your lucky to get 2 shots off, almost never a 3rd kill shot. The dmg you do to cars is subpar compared to an alig or DMR... in every conceivable way it is just sad.... really like I think the Anubis is better. I hear they are balancing the Coronor version but... hot damn this one is bad bad bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mitne 724 Posted July 8, 2018 Well maybe I explain what I meant by broken. I mean that at point blank it got problem with hitting anything (which is strange for shotgun) but does alright at certain range. This usually happens in point blank range when aiming from shoulder (aiming with it or distancing yourself from enemy fix it). Possible register issue?
