Is this just the amount it dishes out at long range? If so then how do you work out medium and close range damage. I'm thinking is gives out around 250 at close range without any modules and skills. Anyway if anyone could shed some light on the matter then that would be great.  Overpowered enough to 1 shot oroto suits with a std shotty no headshots, so ******* overpowered what kind of shi t fit protosuit are you running that can be one shoted be a shotgun? If you have more than 500 hp you can survive Anyone who says the shotgun is OP is not to be taken seriously. This is what is so funny, if you cannot survive 1 shot from the shotgun you are a scout and not tanked at all. Very rarely will you hit with all pellets unless you are directly on top of your opponent or the enemy is an idiot just standing still. Plus the shotgun has abysmal hit detection and rof. You CANNOT miss or you're done. The thing requires so much precision against a moving opponent as it's very easy to strafe a few pellets. Anyone complaining about the shotgun one shotting must really fear the cloaked PlC scout. That thing can one shot anything but a heavily tanked logi or a heavy. Really how much damage do people want the shotgun to do? Rifles lay more damage down range in the same amount of time but with 15x the range.
Yea, well im over 5m away running and get 1 shitted, so balanced...just look at the hmg, I do really well with a shotty.

Thanks all.
Yeah the hit detection does seam off. Yesterday i crept up on a merc real close and aimed for his head but it didn't class the kill as a head shot.
But Boo Hoo me right
Anyways interesting stuff. So with a damage mod and shotty prof its a nice little boomer that can ruin your day.
BTW personally i think a shotty is a perfect anti scout weapon. Makes me smile when a heavy gives me a taste of my own medicine. 
What? You think your Complex armour plating on your sweet Proto will save you? Think again BOOM

But yet it drops everything in two shots. Unless you're a Gallente Sentinel. If any of those mattered, no one would use it. But yet, 90% of scouts use it. And that's just the standard shotgun. |

That too!
Either way, they still have the eHP to tank a shotgun blast in almost all cases. |

Its taking me 4 to 5 shot on some heavies. 3 average. Thats with a 42 dam shotty 1 enchanced dam mod and lv2 prof.
I now look out for red eyed heavies and take extra care when dealing with them.

Because it's a ******* Shotgun and has less range than every other gun in the game.

It's theoretically possible to drop anything short of a vehicle in 3 shots.
But that makes a couple of pretty big assumptions.
-every pellet has to hit.
-most have to hit the target's head.
-You have to be inside optimal range.
When you're NOT hitting with every pellet (which is almost always), you deal less damage, and take more shots to finish someone.
When you're in range to hit, but not inside your even more ridiculously short optimal (which is also almost always), you deal less damage, and take more shots to finish someone.
When you're hitting the target's body with most of your blast instead of the head (which is, once again, almost always), you deal less damage, and take more shots to finish someone. |
