Shotguns are joke in this game

Battlefield 4 General Discussion

My compliments to you all .
The polite and civil natures of your responses to what seemed like an innocently , ignorantly-brave thread unfortunately ripe for destruction and custom-built to go down in flames has been a pleasant surprise indeed .
:smile:
. . . but really . . .
“overpacked contentt”?

Needs Spellcheck 'cos he can’t spell witoutit . . . pffft

Or wait for the next double xp event, if they’ll do more of them. Do they have these double xp events often? Had a couple not long after I started playing but haven’t been any since around easter I think

23

Whenever BF1 has one, BF4 has one also. At least the last couple have been that way.

24

You unlock guns by getting kills with that particular weapon type.
Double xp has no effect on unlocking weapons.

25

last time it was double xp it seemed like the weapons was unlocked much faster than without double xp

26

My bad. I think you may be right. Been a long time since i unlocked guns.

27

I’m not 100% sure but I thought the x amount of kills was to unlock different accessories for the guns, like silencer etc

28

He’s right, it increases the points you get required to unlock the next gun. I played 1 round on Hainan Resort and unlocked everything for the attack jet with less than 10 kills. I think it was a Double XP boost and I threw on a 200% as well.

29

DAO is great

riiiiiiiiiiiight

30

Attack jets are not guns. Each jet is tied to its own faction. Same with all other vehicles.

I think I was getting confused by the shotguns and dmrs. They are not tied to a speciic kit. Do you unlock the next shotgun/dmr by getting kills or by getting points? I honestly dont know.

31

I think you unlock them by getting points for kills. Take shotguns f.ex you unlock them after a set amount of shotgun score, the score goes up for each kill and each kill gives something like 100 points and 150 for headshots (not sure if the points pr kill is right though). If you use point boosts I think you get more points for each kill and combined with double xp event you get a lot more

This is how I think it work based on my observations and I could be totally wrong but I hope not because than my observation is not much to write home about..

32

No offense but if you are having trouble killing with a shotgun in BF, you might want to quit playing BF and take up Tiger Woods Golf or something similar.

33

Then shutup and stop playing the game.

34

I want to say points. Because I’m pretty sure you can unlock guns just by capping and not killing? Not 100% sure, but could be. All I know is I don’t have to worry since I’ve unlocked 98% of the guns.

35

for vehicles, unlocks come from points accumulated while in the vehicle (killing enemies, capping flags, bomb delivered assist etc)
For weapon unlocks, new weapons are unlocked based on points accumulated by using the gun (kills and kill assists)
for a weapon’s attachments, unlocks only come from kills with that particular weapon

36

OP was never heard from again. Such ez bait.

37

Don’t really know what I said that got your panties in such a bunch. But saying bf4 is not buggy is like trying to convince someone that fire is not hot. Name one mechanic that actually works like it should 100% of the time :^)

38

Teabagging

39

Lol get good op, if you can’t kill with Shottys then there’s no hope for you.

I kind feel a bit dirty now after trying to unlock more shotguns in locker…

That said I wonder if anyone can tell me if there’s any difference damage vice between m1014 and saiga 12? I feel like saiga does less damage but in game it shows same damage
