Shotgun needs a bit more spread not less

More spread <> OHK

I do sense the frustration with using the shotgun - I have personally seen myself miss with my CRG-3/Creoden shotguns more times than I can count. I did find that raising the sensitivity did not help my cause, so I put it back to the default setting.

What I have found that works, is rather than attempt to stay on them like glue, I let them backpeddle/strafe, while I too, move back just a bit. This allows me a chance to turn at the same rate they move (and keeps them in my sights). 2nd shot generally kills everything, 3rd shot will always kill whatever is left, assuming they haven't killed me first.

It's current spread is more like a slug than buckshot
Wider spread + more damage=better shotgun

True - but a slug shot is the OHK method. What your describing will require multiple shots from the same distance.

What might be a better option, is allowing the shotgun user the choice of slug vs buckshot like they have in other games. Although I doubt it will change anything.

Sure pal. Um you do know this was in reply to the OP right, not you. You just made yourself look like an idiot. Thanks though for the attempt at an insult.
