slugs do no damage

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

they literally bounce off enemies, please devs make them at least as powerful as the 9mm

[Humpenstilzchen]

wrong they do a lot of damage but the range is a bad joke. It´s like idk 10 meters range and then the projectile just seems to disappear. That´s probably why you thought it does no damage.

They also halved the damage in the latest update.

Which has killed the viability of shotgun slugs but not buckshot as much. Pretty odd way of balancing it.

Screw the shotgun we need a hunting / sniper rifle with scope and night vision. That would be fun

Yup, buckshot was powerful as hell, but slugs were already barely useful pre-nerf.

I have seen videos of a bolt-action hunting rifle that isn't released yet. So far, it's unfinished as the weapon is completely broken but it does have sounds and animations put into it. There's also an air-rifle which is fully modeled but it can't even be picked up and I assume it will be a weaker variant but it should be easier to obtain.

There's even rumors about night vision goggles being added as well and it would be nice to use in the night and in caves. For balance, I'm sure it will require batteries.

Yeah I don't why Endnight balanced the shotgun like the way it is now. Usually, slugs would be more powerful and have better accuracy but even if it's better at hitting targets at longer ranges, the damage is too low to be useful. It felt like I was firing literal blanks at enemies.

Meanwhile, buckshot is still good despite the nerf and the spread is surprisingly tight for what it is. To balance it, they would have to increase the pellet spread and increase the damage of shotgun slugs and possibly their range too.

Slugs do damage but are just much weaker than buckshot, they should make it do more damage. I feel that they shouldn't nerf gun damage that much and should instead balance how often ammo spawns.

[HeySup]

just use slugs for fun against basic mobs , anytime in a cave or lab just use buckshot

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

Right now I have hundred of slugs just sitting in my inventory but less than 30 buckshots at any given time because how often I have to use them without cheesing for more ammo. I just wish both could be equally useful at some point.

Same here. Slugs right now are too unappealing to use and I think they're even more common than buckshot unless I am mistaken.

I think it was intended for slugs to be better until Endnight nerfed the shotgun itself which in turn, made slugs complete trash.

You just have to be close. Run up to a enemy and shot them in the head point blank you'll see they work lol.

[Ataxio]

They work just fine. Use them on creepies. I will say they perform pretty badly however due to inaccuracy and range issues.

Inaccuracy is mainly due to how awfully the player "aims" the shotgun at a wierd angle. To use guns in this game you almost have to forget evreything about shooting and relearn the wacky mechanics behind each gun. The shotgun experiences this the worst and trying to land a slug accurately does indeed require extremely close ranges.

But damage seems... acceptable.

The 9mm literally blows the lungs out of their bodies, that's why it's so strong

From what? The revolver? The pistol does abysmal damage. And 9mm absolutely should not be performing that well.. esp out of a revolver using the same round. The revolver should be using .357 or .44 and I have no clue why it lacks a seperate ammo pool.

It's a Joe Biden quote he said 9mm bullets will blow our lungs out
