Hey, have you ever heard of aiming better? It's this new concept that people everywhere are starting to use in FPS games!!!
But, on a more serious note, get better aiming and stop complaining.

Are you kidding me? Active Scanners DO jam now, wait for more people to post in this thread, they'll confirm they jam. When that happens the only way to use it again is to switch to something else and reequip the Scanner again.

The two biggest problems for shotguns is;

1. The Acceleration- When you want your reticule to go from point A to point B, it doesn't happen right away like in other FPS. The Acceleration makes it take longer for you to properly aim, and for a shotgunner this gets you killed, we can't twitch aim with this garbage on.

2. Slow sensitivity- The aiming is too slow in this game, even at max sensitivity, it simply isn't enough. You will come across many enemies who will strafe faster than you can aim!

I've used shotguns for a very long time in FPShooters, so I do know what I'm talking about. Trust me when I say it's HARD to use shotguns in DUST right now, they're a joke. Almost no one takes them them seriously right now with all the problems they have. The 8 clip Mass Driver does a better job in close quarters than the shotgun right now, that should tell you something is seriously wrong.

As a shotgunner I must say this game is not very enjoyable anymore. Heck, I can see why people AFK now, this game has gotten so boring now that I can't blame them for doing the minimum it takes to earn SP.

Until CCP fixes the aiming and hit detection in this game, I don't know how any infantry are having fun. Not being able to properly aim takes any fun out of any fight. This is the reason splash weapons have been getting ever so popular, because most of their shots will actually hit their targets, unlike aiming with any other non splash weapon, in which it's considered luck to hit something.

I miss using shotguns, and I can't wait until CCP fixes aiming five years from now. Yes I've heard aiming is supposed to be fixed in the upcoming patches soon, but knowing CCP what will go wrong in its place? Almost every patch that is introduced something else has gone wrong. Take the recent patch for example, Active Scanners now jam! That's right, they get stuck and only reset after you switch equipment.

Here's to the future *raises glass* (<-----I'm a Minmatar Logi)

considering how often i get ganked by a shotgun i have to wonder about this post.

i also notice you've not mentioned how the 'hit detection' is off for you.

this doesn't seem like much of a post to me. how about throw some information into your posts? my active scanner doesn't jam, so...

Then you're blind as well. Please use a shotgun in PC, or ambush and try to get a lot of kills, you will most likely die trying. I can guarantee you won't perform well consistently. If aiming was good, then why is CCP patching it? You are a fool.
