Boomstick is a Combat Perk in the Strength Attribute. Shotguns are one of the best ways to handle close-quarter combat with their strong burst and capability to dismember with each pellet. Longer ranges and bigger crowds of enemies might prove difficult because of shotguns' short range and small magazine size.
