    Sawed off shot gun (questions)

    So far we know the sawed off shotgun is an exclusive side arm for anyone who purchases the season pass (I preordered the Gold edition).

    Did they mention anything else?

    I'm curious about:
    - does it get unlimited ammo like all sidearms do?
    - I assume it's 2 chamber.
    - Any mention of mods for it besides possibly paint?
    - Can I use it w/the riot shield?
    - It's mentioned exclusive unlock, does it mean now I can find better versions of sawed off shotguns as loot and only season pass holders?
    - Any screen shots or video of it yet?

    Thanks in advance.

    - Yes it's still a sidearm so you get unlimited ammo.
    - Yes it's a double barrel.
    - No mention of mods, I doubt you will be able to attach any, same as the legendary Cassidy double barrel.
    - Yes since it is a sidearm, same as a pistol.
    - They haven't said if there will be other sawed off shotguns in game.
    - I'd imagine this is the sawed off in this picture, however what's odd is he still has a 358 magnum pistol on his side and the double barrel is on his back as if it's a secondary. I believe this is it though.

    word.

    that image also suggests there's melee wpns in the game or at least an instance where you get to use a fire axe...along w/a few other promotional images.

    I hope that the Double Barrel comes with crafting plans for it so that it can be made at any lvl, or at least be part of the loot pool in all rarities. Having a side arm shotgun is awesome and the Shorty in Battlefield 4 was my most used one, I absolutely loved it.

    If that isn't the case its a very poor incentive as you will out lvl that sidearm shortly after starting the game, and I'll be very sad if that's the case ;-;

    As far as melee weapons go I think a simple solution would be to add a bayonet barrel mod that increases your melee dmg by 300-500% if not more, as melee's were incredibly weak at least in the beta.

    hahaha, the melee was incredible weak in the Beta because these NPC's can take a full clip to the face before going down...an aggressive gun butt is like being licked by a kitten.
