    The typhoid needs to be buffed with an ammo buff and maybe a range buff.
    First if all, the typhoid should have 64 shots, and not 32.
    The low ammo makes it almost impossible to use, and so it gets dissed a lot.
    Now, the typhoid also needs a range buff.
    Maybe just a 4 block range buff, but I mean, it's supposed to be the best shotgun you get, but instead the model, a level 25(?) level gun, is the best in most people's opinion. It also might need a slight damage buff, so it can compete with the other guns.

    No one ever uses the Typhoid, so I do hope it gets a buff. Nice idea!

    Definitely needs a buff. It either needs an ammo buff or the unlock position changed, but when do the admins ever listen to stuff like this?

    I agree with an ammo increase, but the AA-12 deserves it too.
    The Typhoid is a good weapon, but it would be better with a minor damage buff and the extra ammo.

    The hell is with people saying the Typhoid sucks...?
    If you can actually use it, it's fine, it just needs a little more damage, overall I love the thing because there's nothing more satisfying than that three round burst sound.
    Also, if you can use it good enough, because of the delay between click, and fire, you can shoot around corners pretty well.

    The ammo though, Greedy.
    It needs more ammo, a slight damage buff, and maayyyybbeeee a range buff.
    I never once said the Typhoid was bad, it just should be better than the model, as it is the highest level's shotgun.

    One word.
    Scavenger, do you honestly think the people that use the skullcrusher or lamentation don't have scavenger?
    Without it, quite a few of the guns are pretty much useless.

    I agree with this. Whenever I use a shotgun i go moddel. None of the prestige shotguns are good. Spas-24 is almost worse than the spas12. Typhiod is also way worse than moddel

    But still, if the game is, say, Lockdown_TDM, and you had to choose either the Typhoid or the Model 1887, what are you going to choose.
    Be honest.

    In short range the typhoid is a nice weapon to use, with a 3 burst that covers you in bullets, but once you are 7 blocks away there's a problem. The model1887, a level 25-ish weapon that costs probably an 1/8 of the typhoid's cost, has better range, damage, and ammunition conversation than the typhoid. That is all wrong.

    The typhoid needs a major buff, a buff that'll make the typhoid a gun that is truly worth 875-ish credits. A range would be first priority, because I've tried killing people with 10 blocks away from the darn gun and end up using the entire clip, with them getting down only 4-6 hearts.

    A damage buff would be nice, saying that sometimes even at like 6 blocks you can't kill them in a 3 burst round, and end up using more than you expected, which is bad in other gamemodes than gungame. Also, this would make the bullets better at bigger ranges, due to the lack of damage that is currently has.

    If I want to get a nuke, Model, yes, I understand that, however I've used Typhoid on almost every map, it's not bad, I agree with the buffs, I'm just saying that it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.

    True, I remember someone (ninepancakes?) posting a thread a looong time ago that said show me your best game with the Typhoid, and I nuked with it and went 47-5. A lot of others got similar scores, and it really brought teh Typhoid to its highest sort of glory.

    Phanta's mod reveals that the Typhoid is a dual-wielded weapon which means it's 2 shotguns being used in the battle so it's obviously supposed to be the most OP shotgun in Mc-War. Probably twice as powerful as the Model.

    I completely agree with these buffs. True if you know how to use it properly you can get an emp IF you don't run out of ammo that it. If I was to use a shotgun I would go model so I do think the typhoid needs a small buff for damage or range. Ammo your not really gonna get unless you buy scav.
