Strategy Guide

 * Cube Queen's Shadow Drum Gun has a large magazine size so it can be useful for attacking builds for longer periods of time.
 * It can be used as a follow up from a shotgun but can also replace a shotgun due its speed, DPS, and magazine size.

Trivia

 * Like its original counterpart, the weapon is based off of the American Thompson M1921 'Tommy Gun', specifically one often associated with American Mobsters, and not the Submachine Gun used in World War Two. Cube Queen's Shadow Drum Gun uses the same textures as the Midas' Shadow wrap.
 * It looks identical to Shadow Midas' Drum Gun as, lorewise, they are both the same gun.
