Depends on the shotgun lvl, how far he was from you, damage mods, proficiency, and head shots multiplier. Also if most of your health was shields he/she has a 10% damage bonus to that.

However, protostomping does need to be solved.

Shotguns have insanely low range, damage starts decreasing by percentages after just 4 meters, and there is also the spread which further diminishes the range. If it can't one-hit kill in its optimal range, then its worthless. If you get killed by a shotgunner, you deserve it for letting them get close. You can even beat a shotgunner by moving around to make it hard to keep their aim on you, and quickly and skillfully landing your shots on them.

The scrambler rifle lets you fire around 15 quick shots before overheating; when it overheats you can't shoot, run, or switch weapons (potentially a death sentence). Charge shots have a huge heat toll, so if you miss there is the penalty of being only able to fire 4 more regular shots before overheating, and the time wasted on the charge; yes there is high reward, but also high risk. Charge shots can one-hit kill, but in the time it takes to kill you, an AR could have killed you with continuous fire (standard AR does like 420+ damage in just 1 second). This weapon requires skill.

Uneven battles are a problem, but the stuff you say is just wrong.

Its also not only rude, but just plain incorrect to say CCP is procrastinating; they're adding 2 new rifle as well as rebalancing the current ones, completely revamping faction warfare, completely revamping vehicles, adding more outposts like the Caldari Production Facility and Minmatar Cargo Hub, working on new racial variants like new heavy and light dropsuits, and even more. I may not like a lot of the things they do, or many things about the game, but saying they're procastinating is just stupid.

The ONLY handheld weapons that should one shot , one kill are as followed : 1 # FORGE GUN & 2 # PLASMA CANNON and THAT'S IT !!!!!!!

Us Nova Knife ninjas from the Scouts United channel would like to have a word with you.

Cmon shotguns have nothing besides the ability to OHK at it's optimal.

ROF is so slow they cannot get a second shot before an AR mows them down.

Agree with balancing battles. Most of the time I end up loosing with all objectives taken buy the opposition. And when the game ends, the opposite MCC Mobile comment center still has half the shield and all the armor.

When I don't loose, we end-up by crushing the opposition.

Where are those well balance battle from 1.3/1.4.... where one game both MCC finished with a couple of bars left in the armor.

Those were the good old battles.

Sounds like a head shot. But if you let a shot gunner get that close, it's on you.

Yeah . I'm learning . I never had that happen before and it kinda ticked me off . But I'm over it now . Live and learn but the way they are being used is making me wanna speck into them now .

But I have to start on my HMG's when I get my Play Station back because I have to send it off . It's giving me problems and my guarantee is almost up so I won't be seeing you guys for a while but I will be keeping up on the forums .

Have you guys gotten your free three day active boosters ??? This month has been GREAT !!!!!

I think I just watched you go through the full emotional cycle of rage, injustice, depression, bargaining, and finally acceptance in this thread.

I don't understand what getting killed by a shotgun at close range is worth forum-raging about... What do you think the shotgun is for?
