Critical Thug Weapon Overview
This legendary TORGUE Shotgun is unique in its own rights. Unlike other TORGUE weapons, you do not have to reload to blow up the ammo. After firing, it will blow up automatically after the impact. If you succeed in landing critical hits, it will keep ricocheting bullets to nearby enemies. Note that the description says all bullets, but in practice, it does not do that.
Our suggested builds to try this weapon will be with any Splash damage builds. For example, a Splash Moze build or FL4K splash build will do just fine with this weapon. You can also try crit builds with it, but always make sure that you are accurate while hitting critical shots. This weapon halves in usability if you miss shots, or cannot hit critical shots. So, try to be fairly accurate and have fun!
