Epic has shared some very intriguing statistics with the community and I believe they’re interesting enough to post up for you guys. One piece of info that caught my eye is the fact that the Shotgun is the most lethal weapon in the game with the most kills. Considering how every fucking noob is crying their ass off over how weak it is, you’d think it wouldn’t be so frequently used. Apparently the Lancer is too strong, so why isn’t everyone whoring that instead of sticking with the shotgun they believe is so weak? I detect large amounts of bullshit. Hit the jump for the statistics.

  • Almost 3 million multiplayer matches (excluding Private) have been played.
  • Almost 1 million screenshot photos have been uploaded to gearsofwar.com
  • The most popular multiplayer mode is Horde.
  • The most popular multiplayer map across all modes is River.
  • The most lethal weapon is the Gnasher shotgun with almost 29% of all kills.

Not sure why Horde is so popular to be honest but I’ve also noticed that lots of people like to play it. I enjoy Horde but only as something to play on the side when I’m not in the mood for competing with others. I imagine it will be a favourite among players who hate getting owned online, you know the type, the ones who always want to play co-op with you but never versus because they can’t take the ass whooping.
