Jury-Rigged Boomstick

The Jury-Rigged Boomstick is the first secondary weapon used by Scout. It is a short two-barrel shotgun that is excellent for close-range combat. The projectiles fired by this small weapon are powerful enough to knock down even a slightly stronger opponent with just one shot. Moreover, during shooting, the player has a chance to stun the target, which is useful in battles against powerful opponents.

The Jury-Rigged Boomstick has some drawbacks. The main disadvantage of this short shotgun is the small number of shells that can be used, as only two can be loaded into the barrel, which requires you to reload the weapon pretty often.

Recommended Jury-Rigged Boomstick modifications:

1. Tier 1 - Double-Sized Buckshot;
2. Tier 2 - Double Trigger;
3. Tier 3 - High Capacity Shells;
4. Tier 4 - Super Blowthrough Rounds;
5. Tier 5 - White Phosphorous Shells.

Zhukov NUK17

After advancing to level 15, Scout gets access to an alternative auxiliary weapon - Zhukov NUK17. These two automatic machine guns have extraordinary firing rate and high magazine capacity.
