    Elephant Weapon

    Quick question...Dose anyone in here ever use the elephant weapon?? It say's that it will stop ANYTHING...So I went out and tested it on some "Rino's" that were charging me. Nope, that weapon is not up to par. I used it three different times, and it NEVER put down a Rino at all.

    Dem Rhinos have slick moves and Cat-Like reflexes... so they are very hard to kill LOL

    In all seriousness though, and overpowered shotgun (have not really looked at the weapon per say) is not going to do an Elephant in, let alone a Rhino.

    Yep, that was my thinking as well...Unless you have the "Harpoon", then bets are all off......lol

    I just got charged by a Rhino and downed it with a Buzzsaw shot through the nose as it was a matter of feet away.
    I did try killing a Rhino by riding an Elephant at it and it took a while but eventually it sort of died of exhaustion.

    I never use the elphant weapon.

    By default I use a silencer ak47 -> bow -> silencer sniper -> shotgun.
    And when I unlocked the buzzsaw that replace the sniper.

    I hardly used any other weapon, cause the ones above are just to awsome!

    I hardly ever find myself using a shotgun... there just ain't too many moments when I have to. And when I do I usually end up dead because I have to remember in which slot # I have it that by the time I do, I am shredded to pieces by a pack of wolves or wild dogs or a freaking bear with stealth breath LOL

    If I am doing Stealth I normally keep Molotovs hand for the Wolves and so on - it sets the veggie on fire but there is no noise and the smell of toasted wolf is quite pleasant. I'm also relying more and more on the Auto Cross - a couple of shots makes the evil beasts think again.

    I can't say I agree. Having the Gold Edition I get the Elephant Gun, Driller, Sandman, etc unlocked from the start. My first play through I used the Elephant Gun a lot. At the right distance if ADS at their head you can easily take out a Rhino in one or 2 head shots. If it takes more than the two shells you have loaded to take one down, you're doing something wrong.

    It's a very powerful gun. So much so I got bored with it. I never use any of the unlocked at the start signature weapons anymore. Kinda spoils the challenge of the game. The same with the Buzzsaw, it's fun at first, but then just a Rambo buzzkill.
