They gotta make the heavy pump shotgun shoot straight

[Trinity]

What's the point in it being a slug when it veers off to the left or right. Every single person I see using that gun knows it's just a gamble, there's no real skill you can even put in it because even if you aim dead center on the person, the bullet might just miss. If the medium shotgun can shoot every single pellet exactly straight every single time with a fixed spread pattern then why can't this shotgun shoot a single bullet straight just once.
I mean I used it a few times, when it hits it really hits, but it really doesn't matter if you even aim the thing because the bullet doesn't go where the crosshair is.

It really does that? Damn. I tested it once, noticed the rate of fire and didn't use it again, but that makes it even much worse haha. I guess embark is going to slightly buff all of the new weapons and it's actually smart to introduce weapons that are rather under performing instead of doing it like most other games and introduce OP weapons that destroy the whole game balance until they finally nerf it.

[Trinity]

Yeah, but I still think it's best to catch these right off before they become the accepted mechanics of the game, these weapons are still being worked on, right?

[Trinity]

The bullet really doesn't need to explode, either, I think that's a bit much for this weapon.

[DirtyDishes]

Yeah no, you're definitely right this shouldn't exist and needs to be called out. The bullet explodes? I really need to try out the new guns a bit more, heh. I played all of them once and didn't like any of them. The hand gun was the least bad for me, but that's probably just me.

They'll make it shoot straight. Once they Remove it from the heavy's kit, and place it in the Lights kit, that is.

I thought the handgun was a colt 1911 and got excited, thought the pump shotgun was a normal pellet shotgun. I like the shotgun the most because it reminds me of my favorite game, but it's not as useful as the weapons in that game. The FAMAS is pretty good I think, it's kinda like using the revolver, except more forgiving.

I like this meme alot lol

Are you hip-firing it? because I noticed that's where the inaccuracy comes from, but it's fine when aiming down sites. Also it's a projectile so it has a tiny bit of drop and travels slower, so that might be adding to it. Either way I do agree that the gun is a bit too hard to use for the reward you get out of it, maybe if you could headshot with it or if it destroyed walls even faster (4 shots to break a wall btw, faster than any other weapon besides hammer ofc). It's really niche, but isn't totally unusable, it's personally my favorite weapon to fight other heavies with it.

I'm also a fan of this, it feels more rewarding when guns or characters are put where they're supposed to be after being weak as opposed to being broken and feeling significantly less rewarding after it gets nerfed.

Definitely needs to shoot straight
Keep the drop and the rate of fire for balance

Its a projectile weapon. The slug has travel and drop off. This means you have to lead you shots. Its still innacurate over longer ranges because you can't ads, but if you get used to leading its much better.

It's by far the worst weapon in the game.

[SleeprunnerInc]

The KS has spread only when hipfiring.
Basically it lands wherever that circle is.
ADSing it fires where you aim BUT it has a weird delay of .2-.5 seconds before it connects.
It gets worse the longer it gets and is the ONLY weapon to suffer from that as the projectile speed is HORRENDOUS.

It deals decent damage but still needs about 2 hits to kill anything above a light.
And in that time anyone can magdump you before you fire the second round off.

Oh and it doesnt deal that much arena damage like it contradictingly states.

Increase fire rate slightly and slightly quicker hit scan.
