Slug shot

[Дивізія Галичина]

Why the slug shot is so weak? Almost no damage compared to red ones

It's has more to do with hit detection problems and the shotgun is a major topic on this. I mean 4 shots with a Mosin at close range isn't that nice as well...

I have had big trouble with the rifled slugs in particular. Yes there is an issue with hit detection, but with the shotgun and slug ammo, I have had the most problems. It should be a one shot centre mass or head shot kill easily, I mean it has by far the most kinetic energy in game. I chased a boar and hit it 10-15 times with a rifled slug. Also shot numerous zombies in the head, several times and it did noithing. When I switched to buckshot, it seemed to solve the problem. Weird but true. I didnt think to record it, but I will next time.

When I started playing dayz there was still the slug ammo inside, years ago, but they removed it quickly. I'm thinking they are struggling with same problems from these days. But anyways I'm thinking positive that they will finally fix it. For now all the promises they made was coming true. I would just pass whose slugs for now, I mean they can still have a psychological use for now, if those crazy bambis attacking you and you will answer a shotgun...

Apparently the patch released today is for the Hit reg issues. I am downloading it now. Fingers crossed.

Edit: I wouldnt download it though until the server needs it. Now I cant play on any servers until they update. Lol

Shooting slugs is like shooting buckshots.... way it looks. Multiple hitpoints on target. Far as i know from IRL slugs are one big lump of lead/steel... buckshots are multiple lead/steel balls. Just were in CQC battle in one of the military places and shot 2 guys with slugs shots. All shots showed multiple blood splatter hit points in their character. Is that known problem or is the slugs just coded like buckshots? so stupid.

Sounds more like desync. Your gun was not loaded

it depends how you shoot. There is some hit detection issues with some guns IMO
You can kill person from the distance with 1 Mosin shot OR you can hit him 4 times at the close range and he will be fine.
Something is definitely wrong with that

Feels like slugs from dayz calssic, same ♥♥♥♥ + each cloth unit from days standalone seems acts like plate in body armor.
