Stalcraft Wiki: Saiga-12

Expert Opinion

Pro Tip

"The Saiga-12 is an automatic primary shotgun that deals 113.125 damage at maximum upgrade and can be equipped with a 30-round drum magazine. It features a x1.75 damage multiplier to mutants and operates at 400 RPM, serving as a dependable workhorse for close-range trades. While it is eventually outclassed by more specialized shotguns, its high capacity with the drum mag makes it effective for sustained combat and multi-target encounters."

I've played Stalcraft for over 8,000 hours on the NA server, mostly in high-tier competitive subdivisions. During that time, I spent a lot of my own time figuring out how to get the most out of my gear. I used my background in software engineering to build Stalcraft Meta, turning those calculations into tools others can use. You can find me on Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, or the official Discord (milkdud.).
