The Boom Stick is a Riot Shotgun unique variant. It differs from the standard shotgun by having a much faster reload speed, quadrupled knockback, and lower magazine size.

Function

The Boom Stick is a short range weapon which fires eight pellets per Shotgun Shell used. It functions both on board the submarine and underwater, although its spread makes it difficult to hit distant targets. As for every other firearm, used ammunition cannot be recovered. Shotgun Shells deal larger amounts of damage at close range, where more pellets may hit, inflicting Gunshot Wounds, Afflictions#Bleeding and a brief Stun.

The Boom Stick's reload speed is near-instant at 0.1 second, against 1.5 second for the Riot Shotgun.
It has four times the knockback, with 20 against 5 for the Riot Shotgun.
Its magazine can only hold 2 Shotgun Shells, against 6 for the Riot Shotgun.

It should be noted that the Boom Stick has a large spread, which is made even larger for Characters with a Weapons skill lower than 60, greatly reducing its utility outside of point-blank range.

Usage

The Boom Stick is held with both hands and must be loaded with shotgun shells to fire. As with all weapons, firing is done by holding the Right-click to take aim, then by Left-clicking to shoot.
