I think the shotty needs a better reticule, it seems off a bit.

Yeah the shotgun is not U...... wait a minute is that a Minmatar logistics suit ???? Well i can really see you are using it for it's intended use there. Really helping out the team i must say. Going around repping people and staying behind the assaults.......

But yeah i've seen someone go 43-5 with a shotgun it's not UP. Just gotta get used to it.

it's definitely not UP when it actually register hits. it's not that awesome when you deal 0 damage in the back of that red's head, is it. that's the main problem with shotguns this build.

Hit detection is the real issue. Spike damage weapons like the shotty feel it more since you put everything in one shot.

I hope we get a Minmatar mid ranged SG one day though.

yeah ok but when i'm glancing in those red eyes and my shotgun kinda does nothing what am i supposed to do?

My only issue is that matches with heavy lag will cause utilizes to go crazy. I actually swung nova knives at someone hacking a turret once, got the hit indicator (the red x) and did 0 damage

I do not believe SGs are UP but I still think every map favors long range weapons. As a shotty you need cqc but the long los mean most everyone can kill you before you get anywhere close, the same issue with HMGs. If they designed some urban maps or tight indoor maps I will never leave my shotty dusty again.

But I agree when you get that feel for the shotty every few matches you have ascended to a whole other plain, hit detection be damned.

I think one of the main problems with the Shotgun is the reticle, that big-a circle shows the spread only at the perfect distance.
- Too close and the bullets won't spread enough to hit the enemy, making it seems like you missed an obvious shot.
- To far, and well...it just won't do anything because of the SG's short range, or thebulets spread too much so the little damage you manage to make is almost not noticeable.

I say just shrink that circle some/ give it some actual crosshairs, and give shotguns an easier to see "Efficiency Rate %",as shotgun is the weapon that could REALLY benefit from it.

Yes there are those couple maps where my shotty never gets a rest but they are 2 out of the many and their variants are pulling the fight toward more open areas. There are a few tight corners on all maps but these make the shotty a defensive weapon great at defending points.

I still think a skilled AR/SR user will kill a skilled SG user a majority of the time.

Master Jane is talking? WTF!


Peace, Godin

Run the shotty a lot and for me the hit detection is **** poor at times. This is a serious problem, especially attacking advance and up suits. Nothing like getting the jump on a player just to get mowed down because you are shooting blanks...
