How should I prepare for Mutant Bash TV?

Question

To get my sponsorship for an upgraded car in Rage, I had to do Mutant Bash TV and luckily was pretty well supplied with shotgun ammo. But what would be the ideal way to prepare for farming Mutant Bash TV?

Should I simply stockpile on shotgun ammo, given how powerful it is? Or would one of the automatic riffles be more effective in close quarters? Or would any of the drones, like the turret be of use as well?

I'm planning on doing it a couple of times, because shooting mutants is fun and the pay is very good!

Answer 1

I've gone through multiple times just using the shotgun, wing sticks, and sniper rifle. If mutants get close to you the shotgun is a one shot kill. Wing sticks are great just to cut their heads off. I use the melee (with the gun butt, not fists) a lot too. Head shots using melee are pretty easily done.

I pull out the sniper rifle only for the slots wheels.

However, if you want to have some fun with it use a rocket launcher and watch blood fly.

Answer 2

Pop Rockets. This shotgun ammo should kill any common mutant in 1 (near) hit. Keep in mind that you can play Mutant Bash TV as many times as you want. Sentry turrets will get quickly overrun, so sentry bots do last longer thanks to their mêlée attacks. Also, lots of wingsticks as well. If the mutant is at a good distance from you, you should get the wingstick back.
