Better idea for fixing the shotgun, I just realized- adding more pellets will only worsen hit detection, as the game has to make a calculation for each individual pellet, so instead, keep pellets constant, but increase the damage by the equivalent of 3 pellets per level you go up (ADV would be the equivalent of 42x3 damage stronger, PRO would be 44x6 damage stronger). The operation skill should be a 5% increase to fire rate per level, proficiency should be a 3% increase to shield damage per level. Then, we have a fixed weapon.

OZAROW wrote:Hopefully when they adjust weapon damage this gets fixed, since you still have to shoot the same amount of times an the minimal increase in damage from std to proto really means nothing, also with stun locking our proficiency rof bonus means nothing considering as soon as you fire your first shot a smart player just jumps forward an turns an shoots an the stun lock prevents your second shot.
It's barely usable on adv suits let alone trying to drop protos, quite frustrating especially since I wasted points going pro 4 at the beginning of uprising thinking it would be the chrome sg I put points in an have be stuck with it ever since.
It can be ok but for some reason theirs more sensitivity with the r3 button when tracking with a sg than any other gun an I always throw a melee that gets me killed, very odd
Same here with the melee, idk what it is.

I dont think hit detection has anything to do with pellet count. The HMG shoots at 2400 RPM, thats 40 bullets a second, burst HMG shoots at 4615.38 RPM which is ~77 rounds a second and that registers just fine Also a bonus to shield damage sounds pretty useless IMO
The problem is that they are all getting calculated simulatneously, while the HMG gets even a tiny millisecond between each calculation, which is all it needs. Also, for the proficiency, all proficiency is getting changed in 1.8 to either shield or armor bonuses instead of just raw damage output

The proficiency change wasent confirmed, they just said they were looking at changing proficiency
FPS!=engine speed, it just represents graphical display speed, thus, calculations can actually be made faster than graphics can display

Read my post, i think it is a great way to buff them. This is coming from a shotgun user.
