thebestub3rn00b3r Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I hope we are all familiar with the elephant gun. That being said. I swear that gun sucks. Even at point blank range I can't get a kill with it. People are always on about how great that gun is, but for me I just suck with it. I do a lot better with the Machine Gun and Grenade Launcher. Even though the Machine Gun takes an entire magazine to kill someone with, It still gets the job done. I would just like to know whether Its just me who doesn't do well with gun or the elephant gun truly sucks. I'm rank 21 btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt Rain Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If you take time to aim for the head it kills in one shot...Shock and then AIM then fire It does kill in two to the chest with the Damage Mod but thats like in the mid 30s but use the Elephant gun with a sniper scope for me and shock and swarm with a pistol back up mops up very well.

Kahuna Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yep, when you unlock the damage extra the elephant gun become a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olimpia84 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 It's a good gun when combined with electroshock. As long as you aim to the head you will kill in one shot. With the damage bonus it's even better but unfortunately it's one of the last unlocks (lvl 38 I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 OP, treat it like a sniper, not a shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroFlibble Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I never liked that gun much .. there were better guns and combos that suited my skills. The machine gun or nail gun combined with swarm was my favourite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaface Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I tried getting to grips with it, but I found it too slow to line up a decent shot. I settled with Electro Shock and Nail Gun with the increased damage mod. By the time I'd stunned someone and revved up the gun, it was usually too late for them to fight back.

dreadnaught_ Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If you buy the DLC, try using the "Extended Capacity" attachment for the elephant gun and the "Head Hunter" tonic. I had some luck with the "increased damage" mod but still struggled with it considerably. I don't know it is because of the lag or a lack of accuracy on my part, but many times what I thought were headshots didn't register (but still hurt them bad) and I got killed before I could follow-up because of the slow reload. With "Head Hunter," a headshot with the elephant gun even without the damage mod is still a one hit kill (or close to it), especially after shocking them. And with four chances to hit them vs. two and a quicker rate of fire, follow-up shots are easier and misses are less fatal than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterUgly Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It's a little less than decent to snipe with (IMHO), but with this MP it's all about which loadout you feel suits you best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowerclassbrats Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 The problem is the environments are congested and don't lend themselves to sniping. If you are able to zoom in or shoot from the hip you may kill the individual you are aiming for but the gun fire rate is so slow that you will most likely be killed by someone on your flank or behind you before you can get off a second shot. I have no use for the gun but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinfo Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) I really really hate the elephant gun for sniping (which is a contradicition in itself) which is a shame because a good sniper rifle would have been awsome in this, but as previous points make clear, the maps are too congested to allow for sniping. And a sniper rifle that has 2 shots before a reload and those 2 shots don't even kill? Gah, even a headshot doesnt fully kill them. So when going for the trial, I just did electro shock - then a close range hip fire with the gun. Its a terrible way to use it but it worked better than actually using it as a rifle Edited March 23, 2010 by Shinfo spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swatchthis Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I like the Elephant Gun, hard to get used to but once you do, it's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
