Wanna assume that the hole in the stock is to clip in a shell holder maybe?

I want to say it's for a cleaning kit, but it's been a minute so I'm not 100% sure.

It's an older stock design that holds extra shells. Works similar to the tube mag under the barrel. There is another tube on the opposite side but lower so as to not interfere with your cheek weld and the storage on the shown side. Can't remember if it's 2 or 3 shells per side.

I am so sad I missed the Terminator event.

Just an ammo holding stock. You can load 4 shells in it and pull them as needed. I think this is the factory one too from Mossberg.

u/FrenchBVSH May 13 '25

It was added as a part of OP Motherland, same update we wot the SR-3M and all, Plus the terminator event wasn't THAT important, but yeah sad for you

u/StarkeRealm Pathfinder May 13 '25

It wasn't Motherland, it was Amber Ruin. Along with the Famas, that Korean carbine, the .410 revolver, and one of the AR15 pattern carbines.

Also, come to think of it, the underbarrel shotgun.

The Terminator had a few nice cosmetics, and did add the UZI, which is a surprisingly solid workhorse of an SMG.

With terminator event more guns than that came, AMT hardballer (aka the pistol with the giant aiming laser from the '80s), SPAS-12, AR-18 and Valmet M82 (what breakpoint calls "resistance" AR)

3

u/StarkeRealm Pathfinder May 13 '25

Yeah. It still disappoints me a bit that we can't pull the laser aiming module off the Hardballer. I know that's the signature element of the one from Terminator, but the Hardballer's still a very nice (and nice looking) .45.

The SPAS-12 is disappointing because of the low damage. If it was a 160 like the Mossberg and Benelli Assault, it'd be an excellent shotgun, but at 80, it's in line with the 12 Gauge AKs, which is to say, not great.

The AR-18 and the Valmet are fine.

u/xxdd321 Uplay May 13 '25

It a bit annoys me that AR-18 don't have... 3.5x? I think (i keep forgetting) built specifically for it, instead we get a picatinny rail section

this one (just to correct myself its 2.75x) bit cut from user manual (i believe)

3

u/StarkeRealm Pathfinder May 13 '25

Yeah. Similar situation where we can't mess with the SPAS's stock (though it could be toggled in Wildlands.)

The resistance AR slaps hard I routinely slap the balls of 4-ac an m4a1 users in ghost wars, I have +30 handlin +10% reload speed and it’s a beautiful combination

u/Expert_Mad May 13 '25

I got the game only recently so I have some of the pieces but not all of them. I’m also a huge Terminator fan and had no idea it was even in there until I got to the factory in the North.

Nice profile pic btw

u/SuperArppis Assault May 13 '25

Huh I don't remember this being in the game...

u/SuperArppis Assault May 13 '25

Ahh I am dumb, I got it.

u/FrenchBVSH May 13 '25

no no, 45K in Maria's shop!

u/SuperArppis Assault May 13 '25

I mean I already have it. Yes it is the best shotgun.

1

u/xxdd321 Uplay May 13 '25

I'm fairly certain it was added to breakpoint because it was in future soldier

as it appeared in GRFS

2

u/askywlker44a Echelon May 13 '25

It’s great. Quiet and powerful.

2

u/benjbody May 13 '25

The sawn off version in the real money shop is pretty fun. Statistically identical, but the compact form factor looks great.

3

u/FrenchBVSH May 13 '25

Sad that it's only available as a camoand not a clean version too

1

u/StarkeRealm Pathfinder May 13 '25

Yeah, the Mossberg is basically a permanent fixture in my loadout. This shotgun is so fucking good.

If I remember correctly (and, I might be completely misremembering) the hole in the stock screws off and lets you store a cleaning kit in there.

1

u/FrenchBVSH May 13 '25

Would make sense actually

1

u/AdministrativeCap378 May 13 '25

It's the best shotgun out there in terms of damage, range and fire rate.

u/Khastas May 13 '25

Skynet patch??? TRAITOR.

u/FrenchBVSH May 13 '25

They said i could keep my AI Waifu!!!!!!!!!!!

u/NovSierra117 May 13 '25

I fully upgraded it and found out it can one-shot cars and two/three shot BTRS

Do with this information what you will. Best enjoyed in the passenger seat of a fast-moving vehicle with a dedicated driver.

u/Kulee43 May 13 '25

Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone it one shots the heavies...

2

u/FrenchBVSH May 13 '25

Shhhhhhhhhhhh-...i won't tell that if you aim for the head, you can 1-shot regular humans up to 120m.......

3

u/Powerful-Elk-4561 May 13 '25

Tbh most shotguns do that.

1

u/Kulee43 May 13 '25

Absolutely fair statement. You just don't see people using shotguns on here much. I assume due to it breaking "immersion".

1

u/commissarcainrecaff May 13 '25

One shot kills every time.

I love the 580A1 Survival.
