Was curious if you could scrounge up some video from recent games where you shot someone and One-Hit-Killed them from 50 meters away?
It may have been like that 8 months ago (not sure since I only bought the game in July of this year) but it’s certainly not like that now.
If you one shot someone from that distance, I bet the damage indicator will say +8 because they only had 8% health left.
When I shoot someone from more than 10 meters away, I either get 8 damage on them or 4, depending on body part and how many pellets hit the mark.
Again, if it is such a good weapon, then start using it.
I used to think sniping was easy mode until I started trying to accomplish the challenge with the sniper-shield–I have a new respect for scouts now (not much, but a little )
3 Days? I just played since last weekeend and couldn’t help notice there was a lot of shot gunners. Does that mean this will finally end by the Tides comes out?
I played 5 matches of CQL yesterday and was killed by a shotgun once - and it was my squad mates double barrel that an enemy picked up. There’s one part saying it sucks cause shotguns are inconsistent, and another part saying it sucks because “everyone” is using shotguns.
I’ve experienced more of the former and less of the latter - and that’s fine with me. If you want more shotgun consistency, play TDM - if you don’t want to see many shotguns, play CQL.
No idea what everyone is complaining about apart from the time frame to complete the challenge being too tight and strict.
So after giving this a bash(I hate shotguns!) I have come to 3 major conclusions…
They are terribly inconsistent. One minute you can OHK at reasonable range the next, a whole mag won’t kill (using M97 as still need that elite codex, 2 birds 1 stone and all that).
There is no reason NOT to use a 10-A as it pretty much out classes most other shotguns.
I main medic, not scouts or I have I read that incorrectly? I don’t play ops or conquest either as I don’t like vehicles the closest I’ll go is frontlines.
To be honest I find ways to use shotguns in wide-open fields. I love the m97 hunter. But yeah shotguns can be certainly a lot more unreliable due to lag and weird hit effects than some guns.
On the other hand I truly think 300 kills was way too many man. You are asking a lot of people over a short time. I already use the shotgun enough, and did not want in any way to have to do 300 more kills for the prize.
This is not true at all. The M97 Hunter is just as good or better than the 10-A in certain ways. There is inconsistency with all of them, and 10-A hunter has a lot of inconsistency now at all distances for me.
I exclusively use the M97 Hunter or double barrel for my shotgun needs. But I agree sometime I am like what the heck happened there I hit him square with 2/3 of those bullets. The damage drop off sometimes is crazy.
That is certainly putting a positive spin on this. You averaged 75 kills an operation exclusively with the shotgun.
Depends on the operation. They can be long and tiring, especially on a losing team. Depends on who you are playing with and against. Depends on the map for sure.
