Thoughts On the AA12 VIP?

Lord_Of_Pain

Hello Everyone. Out of Curiosity, What do you all think of the AA12 Iron Beast? I'm quite satisfied with it myself, I would say It's one of the best new VIPs we've gotten in a While. the Slugs are crazy, especially since they load so quickly and you can spray literally right after firing them.

What do you guys think of it?

The only thing that bothers me is that your movement speed is slower with this gun, if I remember right the other slug shotguns don't hinder your movement speed.

I thought it would be good in Mutant Mode due to Mutant Mode perks however, I was wrong. GG-VIP still wins!

Its decent in mutation, as you said slugs loading quickly is a good thing and the jump boost is useful for me in certain situations as im terrible at parkour and timed jump stuff. but like Andrew im also disappointed by the movement speed, it feels like im holding a lighter MG, so cant really play it running around.
But yeah i dont regret purchasing it especially because it lets me play a full round without having to stack Vips for extra ammo like a tmp

I don't have a regular slug gun to compare it too, but i'd assume you're probably right. Don't the Regular AA12s slow you down too? IMO it's probably to balance it out, if you had full movement speed with this gun it would be really crazy strong.

I thought it would be the best in zombie, but the M4 laser always wins in all the maps

I mean it's okayish. Still barret is my choice for MM

You are right! I just tested it and the regular AA-12s also slow you down a little.

But it was never advertised as a ZM weapon, it's a Mutation weapon.

Yeah, I should have compared AA-12 with AWM Iron Hawk, it fits better since both shoot faster than Barrett & both have a chance to do less than 1k damage at times.. but I guess AA-12 wins vs Iron Hawk because it can fire automatically as well.

You're doing it wrong. Yeah, it doesn't perform as well as the GG but it still shreds muties. Gotta land them slugs, chief

But it takes time to put the slugs in, you can't have a full game with just slugs shots. It's just not practical. I was hoping it will match up to the GG-VIP but it's no where near.

I really don’t see the need, in the AA12 VIP to be honest. It dosen’t give you a boost in any mode. Is sadly not useful. But as I like to say. Better having than wanting.

It's a good gun but, like the other two slug shotguns, it's only good because it has slugs.

adigagever92

well in mutation it lame,well not that bad but still the gg win by far
and in zombies it doesn't even have charge shoot
this weapon is ineffective in the modes this weapon was made for

what funny is - it apparently very strong in sd - it currently the most op weapon in the game for sd.
few of my friends that never managed to get k/d above 1 are all of a sudden making kd 7-8(with k/d's like 40/3 and 20/0)
I am not that insane to spend my zp on aa12 when I have m4 laser/gg vip/three m4 vip's...so my trick is that I have ak12 vip from old days,so in sd I just copy the aa12 in case I see one in the opponent team lol :P

It’s a good shotgun to play around, slug is very powerful. However, ak will always be my first choice
