• The Sawed-Off is in the SHOTGUN gun class , and as such benefits from the Shotgun Affinity synergy. This also means that, according to the rules of how loot is distributed, holding the Sawed-Off makes finding other SHOTGUN type weapons more rare. It may be in the player's best interests to drop the Sawed-Off to increase their chances of finding a different, better shotgun.
• Notably, this makes it the only starting weapon to technically be part of a synergy.
