Overview





Corn Shotgun is a weapon introduced in Cluck of the Dark Side. This page describes the version seen in Chicken Invaders Universe.

Strategy[]

It fires raw corn. While its power is devastating, its firerate is quite low. It will improve as the power levels go on, however. Individual corn pellets have random spread, so power distribution is somewhat uneven. The Corn Shotgun cannot overheat, and fires popcorn when max heat is reached. When in this state, it's unable to use Boosters. The popcorn projectiles are larger, but deal reduced damage and can't push feathers.

Its Gift is unlocked from Tier 8.

Pros

  • Devastating damage.
  • Good spread.
  • Can be fired at max heat, albeit with reduced damage.
  • Uses minimal reactor power, even when fully upgraded.

Cons

  • Low accuracy.
  • Very low firerate at lower power levels.

It's Non-Aligned, and as such it has no weaknesses and strengths.

Item[]

Like other weapons, the Corn Shotgun exists as an item that can be bought either in the galactic shop or at Heroware stores. Its price in the galactic shop is 150 Key, and upgrades cost 4350 Key in total, with each one costing more than the previous one. Without upgrading, it weighs 630kg and uses up 70 KW of energy. After fully upgrading, it weighs 895kg and uses up 135 KW of energy.
