Wtf is up with shotguns rn?

[koletsgo]

I shoot someone point blank with mindbender's ambition and doesn't even kill their shield, but when they shoot me with any other shotgun(not including chaperone), I die and they're a foot or two away from me. Is it just my game, or are the shotguns just broken?

[MOSLEY]

The fact that the two options here are "my game is broken" or "shotguns are broken" is truly worrying.

Might be your skill level dude. Just an idea...

[koletsgo]

I assure you it's not. I usually get top 2-3 every game. I just think I don't fully understand how shotgun damage and spread works yet.

[MOSLEY]

Full choke + aiming down sights unless point blank range helps. Watch videos of good players and see what they're doing differently to you.

Could be their internet. Like, to them the other player is right in front of them but in actuality they're just a little to the side and it ends up causing a chunk of the gun's pellets to miss.

Nah, the client-side hit detection in D2 doesn't work like that. If you hit on your screen, you hit. Worst case scenario damage will be applied late due to latency.

Check your barrel, if you're using smoothbore that your problem.

I know hackusations are rampant in this game when it comes to relatively hard to aim guns like handcannons or snipers, which is understandable because those are things people are likely to aimbot with. But shotguns? at " a foot or two away"? I'd be surprised if you were serious. Those things live at point blank, which is within a few feet.

To OP. Probably not everyone cheating, most likely culprit is the internet connection. Either yours or theirs. Or as someone else mentioned you need to check the roll on your shotgun, smoothbore is one of the worst perks for a shotgun and will hurt you more than it will help.

Lagswitching is a prominent and easy way to cheat tho.
Most of the time its horrible packet compression caused by people with stone age internet.

shoot at the legs seems this is the best place to shoot.

For someone who don't PvP, my reaction to Mosley's first reply to OP was, "Wow, that was a bit harsh." But after watching a couple of the Youtube videos, I have to say that I can now see why people might think there is something wrong (as well as the "hackusations" Tom mentioned) when facing such opponents. It looked as if that guy was playing solely on reflex action. He is so familiar with the maps that I bet he could navigate them blindfolded.

While there are also ample video proof of D2 hacks at work, OP, you have to admit, there is a possibility that you just came up against someone that much better at it.

Yup, some people out there are crazy good at the game. A lot of people watch people like that guy to learn from too, which kind of proliferates the crazy goodness. Given how forgiving D2 is in terms of aiming mechanics and how much practice some people put in, it's actually ridiculous what a good player with a good loadout can do in this game.

Hackers definitely do exist but they're nowhere near as common as a lot of people seem to think.

haha hackusations if you use your ok google and ask it about destiny hacking it will give you actual wikkipedia on it, the amount of aimbotting scripts and wall hacking is out of control in destiny with no end in sight.

Aimbotting doesn't really work with a shotgun due RNG spread of your pellets (Your bullet).
