The shotgun can kill anything in this game including a tank I've done it 3 times. " Make every shot count" is the best tip you can give another scout. So make them COUNT! So three shots to a snipers back without any loss in health. What about the mini scout that I shot in the chest at 3m. Same thing happened there. And that's me? Your a freakin genius.

I guess its your connection?? play on the server that is best for you or wut ever, stop downloading **** while playing you need all the broadband you can get It could be my connection. But ask Lighning xVx how the shotty is working for him. You'll get the same response. Giving his reputation I assure, that u cant say its him.

Sometimes it's on, other times it isn't. Anyone who runs the Shotgun regularly is well aware that it remains erratic and unpredictable. How this week going shotty? Did you noticed its better since 3-4 days? it was better. However it seems that over the past few days it gets worse and worse. When it works rite its fantastic. But as a scout, when u have even a single round not hit usually means your dead.

There could be numerous reasons why it doesn't work but I will say a few things that might cause it too suddenly drop in performance when in combat. 1.) When being shot at from a high RoF weapon. 2.) Explosions/ Major fights 3.) Stunlocking 4.) Switching-Weapons 5.) Reloading 6.) High turn speeds 7.) RoF on Shotgun 8.) Running Fast and then aiming suddenly aim/shoot. And possibly more, I have run SOLEY shotguns since closed beta, have fought some of the best shotgunners and exchanged ideas/views with them. They are broken and need to be addressed along with all the other weapons. I honestly don't know why everyone is approving for "More Content", when the gun play is sub-par and NEEDS to be fixed. Im sorry, CCP but you can't half-ass Core Mechanics and expect it to do "alright" along the way. The only weapons you made efficient in combat (IMO) are AR's, Mass Drivers and Splash Damage weaponry. I hate it most when switching from an empty shotgun to my sidearm to only have it pull out the empty shotgun. Scouts worst nightmare. Well maybe not the worst but it sux.

You're crazy, dude. I was fighting this guy with a shotgun today, a little one-v-one, you know, and he took me out in FOUR SHOTS. Four shots! So stupid overpowered, nerf shotguns. Any standard weapon that can take out my starter assault suit in four shots OBVIOUSLY needs a nerf! Haaaaaaa I assume that since plasma cannons can ohk, you think they need a nerf too.

Eyemakerwet R 0 N 1 N 21	Posted - 2013.09.28 03:26:00 - [9] - Quote Maybe if we get 6 guys running shotty and focus on the same guy one of us might get lucky.
Eyemakerwet R 0 N 1 N 22	Posted - 2013.09.28 03:30:00 - [10] - Quote Its possible when using a shotgun, when u fire, it could cause a localized drop in framerate. Would explain the ghost kill that sometimes occurs between shots.

This reminds me of that Martin Luther King's keyboard guy... Figured id try things his way. He was able to get things done.

I mean up close the low fps makes it so hard to hit the fool. Realistically the AR can probably kill someone in the back just as fast as my shotgun would, with the added benefit of long range takedowns and spray and prey ability up close too. Doing exactly this. Took roughly two weeks to level up AR skills from naught to Operation V, Sharpshooter III, Proficiency III. Granted, I can't stack damage mods but the Duvolle (and GEK) drop targets from behind ever-so-slightly slower than a Shotgun does when its working properly. You'll still have problems dropping Proto Mediums from behind, but you would've had the same problems with them with a Shotgun anyway. It's also worth mentioning that I win upwards of 75% of CQC encounters versus Shotgunners when running AR. This observation annoys me -- almost as much as how well backpedaling works -- but if you can't beat 'em join 'em, right? this is sad. They should do something about hipfire dispersion on AR's. Ive used them for a long time and have outperformed many shotgunners. I am new to scout but I will continue to use it. Regsrdless of how broken the shotgun and scout suit is, I cant think of a more fun way to enjoy the game. These fixes and buffs cant come soon enough.
