Tips When Using The SG-8 Punisher
Since the SG-8 Punisher is a high-damage shotgun with a decent range, you can obliterate enemies even without being in absolute close quarters. Here are a few tips you can implement while using the weapon:
- The gun can easily take out Illuminate Watchers in a single blast due to its high deshielding capability.
- The weapon does not discard the remaining ammunition. Therefore, we advise you to reload as often as possible with it. Reloading after each shot is fired is also a possibility. This allows players to have a reduced but continuous firing weapon.
