I am a lover of past battlefields specifically bf4 but I remember how fun shotguns and dmrs and such weapons were and I look at the shotguns in this game and I just get sad cause they’re barely useful all the maps are too long range for the shotguns to have any use ---

You can use slug rounds on two of the shotguns. The Drilling has a secondary fire mode that lets it fire a rifle round. ---

My man have you heard of M1987? That thing is sweeper my boy! The range is decent and it fires at a satisfying rate ---

Shotguns are extremely deadly in the right hands. Dont ask for hand holding. ---

> [@Noodlesocks](#): > > You can use slug rounds on two of the shotguns. The Drilling has a secondary fire mode that lets it fire a rifle round. The buckshot specialization is fine, but the slugs on the other hand is something that needs to be looked at. They need to increase the 2HK on them to 40-50 meters for them to be viable. ---

Sorry, I’m a little confused on how you worded that. ---

Play a smaller game mode like tdm where shotguns are more viable. ---

You were saying buckshots are in a good place while slugs need some help. Slugs are horrible in this game. Not sure if you seen my post about it. I was asking for slugs to have 1.5x upper chest multiplier so accurate shots extended the OHK out to 20m. I started to realize that this might be OP on PC. They should just increase the effective range on them. Their intended range is 30 meters with a 2HK. That’s straight up pathetic in this game. This basically means your going to get outgunned by every class and even some pistols, but that’s a whole different topic. Not sure if you used slugs in BF1, but the 2HK was 55 meters. You would think Dice would be smart enough to keep the same damage model from BF1 with how open and large these maps are in BF5. This is the hardest nerf slugs seen in the whole franchise. Here is the link about slugs I posted [Shotgun slugs are pretty pathetic](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/shotgun-slugs-are-pretty-pathetic/106734) ---

Ill never get sick of sniping with my Drilling. > [@LoliDominator](#): > > > [@Noodlesocks](#): > > > > You can use slug rounds on two of the shotguns.

The Drilling Slushot deals deadly Oneshot-Headshots up to 200m (my longest shot) maybe even more. and i bet it got me a lot of reports over time XD ---

What they need to do is introduce some maps with a greater proportion of CQC and short range combat
