I tried the LOK-1 (13212) with seeker rounds for the first time in ages yesterday and it's way better than I remembered??? I feel like a heretic saying this but it might be better than the shotgun, save for the turret whip (and OCs I guess)

sure it's not great for immediate reactions but I'd argue the shotgun also struggles with that beyond the first shot (OCs are still a wildcard)

on most occasions I feel like locking onto 5 different enemies with zero effort from a decent distance away is far better than only being able to use your primary within spitting distance of a target

I guess the shotgun is far better when it comes to defending a turret nest, but I generally prefer using shredders for that when the situation gets sticky enough, also the turrets tend to do a good enough job at keeping melee enemies at bay anyway

also funnily enough even though I'm praising an autoaim rifle I always run the m1000 on scout

edit: configuration & wtf is a m-lok

#deeprockgalactic

next time I open the game I'll add the configuration I'm using for context

I also gave the grenade launcher another shot tonight and I have become a believer in 21212 hyper propellant

I shot several praetorians with 60-maybe even 70% hp and they died before I could even prepare for a followup shot

I am eager to try this on dreadnoughts
