This weapon's signature ability is "Thunderer", which grants full auto-fire | '''[[Destiny]]''' | ||
This weapon's signature ability is "Thunderer", which grants full auto-fire without needing to upgrade the weapon. It is the fastest firing shotgun in the game, outpacing even [[Invective]], which also is fully automatic. This blindingly fast fire rate allows the player to deal massive damage in a short period of time. However, its limited magazine of 5 rounds hinders its burst damage capabilities until it can later be upgraded with "Return to Sender", which allows kills to replenish ammo directly to its magazine.<ref>[http://db.destinytracker.com/inventory/item/2344494718 '''DestinyTracker''' : ''The 4th Horseman'']</ref> | |||
'''[[Destiny 2]]''' | |||
The Fourth Horseman retains the same intrinsic perks as its Destiny 1 iteration, but with the perk "Broadside" (each successive bullet in the magazine increases damage per bullet as well as pellet spread) added in place of Final Round. It is the reigning champion for shotgun DPS due to its full-auto perks as well as the synergy between the Broadside perk and the weapon catalyst. | |||

The Fourth Horseman was designed to quickly take down enemies at close range. If used correctly, it is capable of downing majors and more powerful enemies very fast. This weapon requires some skill to get used to the recoil pattern but once mastered, it can be used just about anywhere. | The Fourth Horseman was designed to quickly take down enemies at close range.

In PVE, the weapon is great for dealing large amounts of close range damage in a short time, a useful trait against Major enemies. However, if you're not careful, you may wind up firing more shots than intended, leading to wasted ammo. The low stability can also cause shots to miss or only graze enemies | In PVE, the weapon is great for dealing large amounts of close-range damage in a short time, a useful trait against Major enemies.

The low stability can also cause shots to miss or only graze enemies if you aren't close enough. | ||
