I’m curious about the Pepper Shaker and how it interacts with the new small guns perk system. I understand that the Pepper Shaker benefits from shotgun and heavy weapon perks, but since it’s not categorized as a small gun, will it still receive bonuses from the small guns perks that apply to shotguns?

If you swap the barrel to use fusion cells, then you’re treating it like an energy weapon, which means it could benefit from science damage perks. It really is like a Swiss army knife of weapons!
Whoa, that’s super versatile! Can it really get benefits from energy, heavy, and shotgun perks all at once?
I don’t think it would get affected. The Pepper Shaker has always been classified as a heavy weapon, so I imagine it remains in that category. The new tank killer perk for shotguns probably won’t apply to it either.
I remember science perks didn’t affect heavy weapons before this patch. So it sounds like the Pepper Shaker is still just boosted by heavy and shotgun perks, unless something’s changed.
