Huntsman Silverback



The Huntsman Silverback is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
The Huntsman Silverback is a double-barrel shotgun with break-action loading. The weapon will fire one barrel at a time, or both if the player activates its burst-fire mode. Note that the gun includes the burst fire mode without requiring an upgrade.

Upgrades
The Huntsman Silverback supports increased damage and reload speed upgrades, but all other upgrades are incompatible. The burst-fire upgrade is compatible but there is no point to it because the gun already has its burst-fire mode included which the player can activate and deactivate at will.

Tactics

 * An extremely powerful shotgun that can eliminate any enemy targets, but is ineffective against armor. It's burst fire capability allows the player to take enemies down even in medium range due to the increase in firepower. However, it's magazine size (only two) leaves a lot to be desired, as the plaver will need to reload every one or two shots, making it undesirable for a primary or assault weapon. However, with blind-fire, the weapon is most effective in point-blank shots against charging enemies.
