{{ | {{quote|One look at The 4th Horseman, and the care taken in crafting it, points to the old trophy-driven traditions of the hunt, but this blunt force destroyer wasn’t built for just any game. Its precision tuning allows for full-auto firing, while measured impact timing provides an extra kick at the tail end of each magazine—a needed fail safe designed specifically for the weapon’s intended prey, the biggest game in the system, the [[Cabal]].|[[Grimoire]] description}} | ||
' | This weapon's signature ability is "Thunderer", which grants full auto-fire immediately. However, it has a limited ammo capacity of 5 rounds until it can later be upgraded with "Return to Sender", which allows kills to replenish ammo directly to its magazine.<ref>[http://db.destinytracker.com/inventory/item/2344494718 '''DestinyTracker''' : ''The 4th Horseman'']</ref> The rate of fire is average, but Thunderer allows for high speed fire. However, this combo can empty the clip quickly. Combined with the low range, this shotgun takes work to master. | ||
''' | |||
In PVE, the weapon is great for dealing large amounts of close range damage in a short time, a useful trait against Major enemies. However, if you're not careful, you may wind up firing more shots than intended, leading to wasted ammo. The low stability can also cause shots to miss or only graze enemies. if you aren't close enough. | |||
In [[Crucible|PVP]], these traits can be a burden if you don't know what you're doing. Because you only have a limited amount of special ammo to begin, and the fact that getting more isn't always easy, conserving it is important. The aforementioned traits make for easy kills at close range, but can cause you to use up ammo too quickly, depriving you of a weapon until more special ammo can be gathered. | |||
In | |||
All in all, this weapon is powerful, but controlling it isn't always easy. Be prepared to work to master this weapon. | |||
