==Advantages & Disadvantages== | |||
{{Opinion}} | |||
===Advantages=== | |||
* Due to its high rate of fire, the {{name}} is uniquely effective in combination with certain [[cooking effects]], such as the [[Agility-based_cooking_effects|''Whenever you perform a critical hit...'']] triggered effect. | |||
* Its fire rate also makes it remarkably effective at disarming opponents using [[Disarming Shot]]. | |||
** Using the {{lc:[[Nulling]]}} mod, the chain pistol can potentially destroy forcefields protecting an enemy and disarm them in only one shot. | |||
===Disadvantages=== | |||
* Its high fire rate and use of {{favilink|lead slug|plural}} as ammo means using it for an extended period of time may require special attention to keep it supplied. | |||
** Buying additional slugs from merchants or learning the {{lc:[[Tinkering]]}} recipe may be necessary. | |||
* Its relatively low PV means it will not be able to deal damage to high-AV targets. | |||
