I played against Calamity Jones II from SVER True Blood yesterday.... she went 76/7 on manus peak, in a skirmish. They still lost.... but wow. I have to say that takes a fair amount of skill though, I don't know a lot of people who can do anywhere near that well with a shotgun.

It was with the CreoDron and a vk. 1 though... so....

I have no complains against the shotgun. In every other shooter the shotgun 1HKO's. Here in Dust it's 2 shots minimum for anyone who has at least a type 2 suit on.

Yeah i did some work on that map. to be fair it was 73-7 with proto shoty and proto suit on the peaks. best game ever, but alot of it was up close thankfully and not ranged. Still I agree with the posts here about range. I can hit a fly on a players face plate from miles away. CCP should really look into the light weapons range modifications, cause as much as i love hitting at a distance i feel the same way about certain other weapons that hit me from miles out.

Played an ambush with a corp mate of mine, and went 57-3 scoring 2875 wp and getting a solo orbital all while using the shotgun.

I think its safe to say that this weapon needs a little bit of a tone down.... I stress the little bit because CCP has a habit of burying weapons 6 feet under when adjusting them.

No, the shotty is a situational weapon. & you were in a optimal situation. Yes, matches like this are possible. But not every match, every time. Like the AR. Meaning it's not OP, IMO.

I prefer it when there are good AR and LR players bodyguarding the Snipers, and when there are occasional Snipers with situational awareness and sidearm skills.

Nope. Face a real squad, shotgun's don't do ****. Pull that off on Manus Peak, or Skim Junction, or Line Harvest.

Night Eagle ur such a beast, but yes shotguns need a slight nerf to their ROF and reload speed. It takes .6 secs to reload it should take longer than an assault rifle to reload.

What difference does their reloading speed make, did you get killed by a shotgunner who reloaded right in front of your face?

Ok so the other night I snuck up on a heavy and put two shots square in his back. Went to half armor turned around and sprayed me down with hmg before I could get a third shot off. But shotty is OP? HEAVYS ARE OP period.

The forge gun can 1shot kill militia suits, so that needs to be nerfed..

because shotguns don't take less than a second to reload.

:s have you ever used a shotgun? .6 seconds per round, for a total of 4.8 seconds to reload a full clip

o is it per round if so then thats fine, and no i have yet to use a shotgun
