Yes, this includes MLT Shotguns.

Why?

Because these things are cheap, but can still pull of one hit kills like the higher tier shotguns, I've seen players use MLT Shotguns as their main weapon, all the time, they've never upgraded because there is no need.

Its not like MLT ARs, in which the smaller magazine weakens the weapon largely, MLT Shotguns might have smaller magazines, but that doesn't matter when each shot can be a potential OHK.

Nope, get within 5M and it far game, if you dont want to be one shot by a shotgun use a heavy suit

Ask any Heavy, I'm sure they'd say that Shotguns kill them plenty of times.

Have you ever used a shotgun? In this game or any other? How about real life? Its a OHK weapon. In this game its barely that at militia level, and has LOL range at that. Move along, working as intended..

Go 10/0 with a militia shotgun and we'll talk...

You now need to get super close to one shot kill some one. and on a heavy, it takes more then one shot. move 5ft back, and the shotty becomes almost useless. If they getting that close to you, it sounds like you are dealing with scouts. and if your getting killed by scouts with shotty's it sounds like they are doing their job.

I've seen people do it believe it or not.

I've done it. He told YOU to. Easier said than done. Bet you go 0/10 first time out with a shotgun scout unless you were good at shotty in another game.

I must be doing my job as a scout wrong then. I provide intel to my team, and the occasional assassination with my knives, not lone-wolf it up with a shotty.

Yeah, but I want to see you do it. Bad hit detection and all. ~5m effective range, bad hit detection, everyone is running blob tactics with ARs right now and scouts are actually good for a change. If you're dying to a shotguns, the problem is on your end.

I dont mind a Scout OHKing me with an ADV/Proto Shotgun, its just the MLT one, its got so little going against it that you dont even need to upgrade.

Surely, you people have gone up against that one player using an MLT Shotgun and killing everything with it?

Just hope yous never do.

The shotgun scout is the "slayer" of the class. You play the logistics. Both viable playstyles, and needed.

I've played Shotty before.

I had a Standard Shotgun, with a Nova Knife fit, I remember going 17/0 by just picking off lone players.

Its not hard to do.

I USE MILITIA SHOT GUN. CAUSE I HAVEN"T UNLOCKED OTHERS YET. lol Oh, and I'm a scout.

And, why do you use the MLT Shotgun?

Nah, you do what you do. I'm the "ghost" class only cause I don't venture from the objective that I haunt. If the RE don't get em, then my militia shotty will.

Woah.

MLT Shotgun seems to be a popular choice among you Scouts.

Wonder why that is?

try having no hitbox and knives. my team stops shooting at the guys I'm after(in a firefight) to save their ammo because it's basically their grave marker to see me dodging an entire clip of AR+SMG fire with barely a scratch on my shields.

its like the knives, once you're in the intended range, its practically an instant kill. when you're paper thin, you need as much damage as you can put to punch through the guys who aren't.

Then you know the scout has laughable hp, and any decent player will pick him off before he gets to him 9/10. You also know that they like to hide around corners and such, so maybe blindly running straight into them is a bad idea? If you know how to use a shotty, why are you complaining about them. Its one of the only builds left that is accessible to noobs, and its still poor at that.

Pretty sure I haven't been killed by knives yet.. heard they got a buff tho..

Just like all other Shotguns, right?

So, tell me then, whats the reason to even try level up your Shotgun skill, if MLT Shotties do the job just fine?

Ask any Heavy, I'm sure they'd say that Shotguns kill them plenty of times.

Switch to Nova Knives. Apparently they're more powerful than a shotgun now and hit detection is awesome. Use the melee aim assist to line up your attack.

Shotguns are sooooooooo last build.
