Special Weapon Effects

Why don't you go shoot yourself an elephant? - High damage, knockback, no scope.

Usage & Description

The Elephant Gun, despite its apparant lack of scope, always spawns with 98.3 accuracy. As users will find, it's actually possible to take down enemies at an extreme range with a steady hand. Combined with its high damage values, it's an excellent gun in mid to long range encounters. Since the player will always be rewarded with a version of this gun after completing the Big Game Hunter quest, it's an excellent alternative for players who find they lack firepower but are unwilling to invest the time into farming weapons.

Drop Guide

• Mission reward from Big Game Hunter.
• Very Rare drop from Skagzilla.

Notes & Trivia

• Like the Rider, Whitting's Elephant Gun never has a scope.
• The Elephant Gun may have originally been created for Shep Sanders, as evidenced by the parts' names referring to the weapon as "ShepsElephantGun".
• The red text is a reference to the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Rabbit Fire." [1]

Mechanics

Whitting's Elephant Gun has the unique part ShepsElephantGun_sight_none as its scope (or lack thereof, rather), providing greatly increased Damage, increased Fire Rate and increased Knockback (on the order of that provided by Material_Jakobs_3). Its unique material ShepsElephantGun_Material is otherwise equivalent to Material_Jakobs_2. Note that this weapon always spawns with barrel3, mag4 and stock2, all of which are average quality parts. However, the body may vary, and it may have a non-elemental accessory such as Heavy or Rolling.
