Strategy

Double-Barrel is a powerful tool in support specialist's arsenal. Sporting great 250 base damage if all 10 pellets hit. With this weapon you can efficiently kite a Fleshpound. When fleshpound is about to hit you move backwards jump and press alt-fire, recoil from the gun will push you out of the hit range and you will escape unscratched while dealing significant damage to Fleshpound. Double-Barrelled Boomstick also has enough damage to kill Husk or Siren with a double-shot. This is a risky strategy since you need to get close to execute it.

Significant kick - will knock player backwards when fired, (or upwards if aiming down and jumping).
