TACTICS:
The Thor is a fully automatic shotgun that is highly effective at rapid dispatching infected due to its high damage per shot and magazine of serviceable size. However, it has weaknesses that it shares with other shotguns being a short range, slow reload time, and is also very inaccurate for a shotgun. It is recommended to be used with operators with a high Ranged Combat proficiency.
Recommended gear:
- Glasses aid the weapon's user in hitting targets that are further away, with some variants also providing much needed accuracy.
- Weapon Cleaning Kits ensure the weapon is free of contaminants that can harm the weapon's performance at range.
WEAPON BRIEF:
The Thor is an automatic shotgun/riot gun design that adapts features of several preexisting platforms. Its hodgepodge nature loans it to be slightly awkward to handle, but its effectiveness in close quarters and incredible versatility must be noted.
This weapon has seen use in limited numbers by law enforcement units that deem aesthetic performance as non-vital.
Variations:
This weapon has no modular variations.
