  • The T 8-00-Gauge is a single-shot lever-action shotgun. In terms of gameplay, each time its single-shot chamber is emptied, the weapon ejects automatically and instantly, effectively skipping the eject phase. For every 8 ammo consumed through firing, the weapon will need to manually eject when the chamber is empty (i.e. perform a full reload cycle). It has a small chance to fire a far more powerful shot.

    The abbreviation for this weapon is 'LEV.'

    Characteristics[]

    Advantages:

    • High firepower, especially when its second module activates
    • Remains accurate on the move
    • Quick, easy reload
    • Good ammo efficiency
    • Large amount of spare ammo
    • Chance for stronger shot

    Disadvantages:

    • Single round capacity means it doesn't benefit from ammo printing effects (e.g. Printing Variant, Ammo Regen powerups, or Onslaught System)
    • Fairly wide spread
    • Rather slow firerate due to need to reload every shot

    Ammo[]

    • Pickup: 20
    • Ballisticshrap Ballistic Scatter Ammunition

    Perks[]

    • Movement Stabilized+
      • Very good accuracy while moving
    • Cursed Shot Chance
      • Has a 2% chance to fire a shot for 500% damage
        • Every curse on player increases this chance by 2%
        • Slightly affected by luck

    Notes/Tips[]

    • Unlocked at Lab level 20
    • 75% increased drop chance for Breacher
    • The 500% damage module triggers upon firing, and will be indicated by a white-colored dice icon that appears above the player
    • Ammo not consumed via Ammo TP attachments or other methods is not counted toward the 8 ammo requirement for manual ejection
    • Need to eject every 8th shot as it simulates a lever action weapon's cycling with the ordinary reloads
    • If you can master active reloading, any class modules or accessories that rely on active reloads (e.g. the Power Link 4x4 Pin attachment, or the Routine module) complement it quite nicely; you'll be activating the perk/accessory with every shot.
    • The Last Straw attachment is also an excellent choice, as the stun or burn effect applies to each individual projectile, meaning every shot fired can inflict both stun and burn
    • Due to the instant ejection mechanic of the weapon, the Reload Vent attachment can remove nearly all heat generation

    Trivia[]

    • As with the M79 Terminator, the T 8-00-Gauge is likely another reference to the Terminator series and Terminator 2: Judgment Day in particular, where a Winchester 1887 is used (often single-handed) in several scenes by the (T-800) Terminator.
