His happened a bunch of other games. But I will be now using as a sidearm next to my knives. Seriously. Shotguns need either a buff so I can 2 hit KO guys, or get better hit detection.
There's really not much wrong with the Shotgun these days. I mean I occasionally have a situation like that, but usually it's because of bad connection on my end. I think the hit detection used to be pretty bad, but I'd say these days it seems significantly better.
It definitely doesn't need a buff in terms of damage though, I mean a CRG-3 is enough to one-hit most suits around the 400hp mark, and that's without damage mods. Most heavies will even drop in 3-4 clear shots.
If you're running a Scout suit, it's probably that that needs the buff, not the shotgun. |

The range is poor, I've died plenty of times due to being inches out of my optimal range, but I think overall the weapon is quite well balanced.
The scout suits really are just not survivable. You can hit like 400 hitpoints on a Proto Minmitar Scout suit, but then you're sacrificing all kinds of other modules etc, due to the PG/CPU restrictions of the dropsuit.
I recently switched from Scout suits to Gallente Assault, with all the low slots you can still be as quick as you like, whilst having twice the overall hitpoints. Even with a much larger hitbox it is just a better suit with a shotgun. Especially for Planetary Conquest as the scouts just aren't competitive friendly these days. |

used a mlt shot gun as well..
although i i find funny about this is the simple fact i flew up to him by derpship and my derpship exploded and the sniper not moving an inch...
Having shot a stupidly large amount of clones in the back with a shotgun, I can only agree that some people are ridiculously oblivious to the world around them. |
