MP43

The MP43 is a shotgun in Wardogs that fires 12g. It does 25 damage per hit at 900 rounds per minute and costs $400. Against an unarmored 100 HP target it needs 4 hits.
Is the MP43 good?
The MP43 is A tier on our tier list and ranks 1 of 2 shotguns on time to kill through level 2 armor.
With standard ammo it takes 4 shots to the chest to kill an unarmored player (200 ms), 7 through level 2 armor (400 ms) and 11 through level 4 (667 ms).
The right ammo changes that: hollow point rounds kill an unarmored player in 2 shots, armor piercing cuts level 2 armor to 6 and level 4 to 8 shots (467 ms).
Legs are never armored, so 4 shots to the upper leg kill even a level 4 player with hollow point ammo.
Nothing in its class kills faster through level 2 armor, so it is the shotgun to buy when you can afford it.
We use it in close quarters loadout.
