Is there a better shotgun than the double barrel in doom 2?

I want to give this game a worthy shot but damn the difficulty spikes and amount of keys for some levels going as high as 6 exhausts me.

No, and nothing else even comes close (except for the regular shotgun in Doom, which is 99% as great).

>> No.5306531

>>5306496
Play it on a reasonable difficulty. The last two skills are too tedious for comfy play. Great if someone manages to beat it that way, but the scaling hitpoints and obligatory save scumming ruins it for me.

this >>5306531 and don't play it like Doom.
Duck, jump, take cover, duck, use the right weapons with the right enemies, use alt-fire often, duck, run, don't stay in the open for too much if you're not sure you can do that, don't try to tank, use your inventory wisely, use well the dynamites and their counterparts (proximity, remote) and finally: fucking duck

>> No.5306619

Not retro, but I want to give a shout out to Postal 2. The sawn-off shotgun literally obliterates every enemy at close range because it's so strong. There's also the lever-action shotgun from Paradise Lost, which has an incendiary round alt-fire and the base game combat shoutgun, which has an explosive alt-fire.

>> No.5306653

>>5306449
on 'Hurt me plenty' the double barrel is mostly overkill so you're better off with the higher fire rate of the single barrel, but whatever

>> No.5306663

>>5306653
Maybe in the very beginning levels. But SSG gives you the dmg of ~3 shells for the price of 2. You're literally getting more bang for your buck.
>3 shells *giggle*

Only thing worse than save scumming is that new replay scrollbar I saw used in the new Duke Nukem 3D port. Feels worse to use that than rebooting a save I did a few seconds ago.

SSG is a cheater weapon. It's basically a grenade launcher for lower range without the fear of fucking up.

The regular shotgun has a higher RoF and is less of a waste of ammo. Also it looks and sounds better and the super shotgun is for homos.

Average statistics
Pinky: Shotgun: 3 bullets / Super Shotgun: 2
Hell Knight - SG: 8 / SSG: 6
Baron of Hell - SG: 14 / SSG: 12
Mancubus: SG: 9 / SSG: 6
Arachnotron: SG: 8 / SSG: 4
Archvile: SG: 12 / SSG: 6
Revenant: SG: 4 / SSG: 4
I don't know the RoF for both but SSG's reload is just a few miliseconds longer than the SG's pump.
