Double barrel shotgun too quiet sounding and generally weak?

[DIABLO[SA]]

The double barrel is incredibly quiet sounding compared even to the normal pump action. Even unleashing both barrels is not very loud or powerful sounding at all. Anyone else find this? It would be great if we could have a loud more powerful sound thats more in line with the other shotguns in the game.

Another point related to the former but different is the power of the gun. Now this has been disucssed in prior threads but I didn't want to necro a thread from many months ago.. I find the double barrel extremely weak. I guess when you get faster reloading from upgrading it might match the pump action shotgun in speed of shooting, but at the starting it really sucks. It seems a single shot is probably weaker than the regular 12 gauge and the spread is not that impressive. Please consider amplifying damage and/or spread on this gun.

Anyhow, this game is amazing! Keep up the awesome work.

Not even close to the same level as KF1 though. Beast for putting massive damage in a quick time into an enemy, but nothing that has me going daaaayyyuuumm like the original. Doesn't help that damage was reduced at the same time default Zed health is higher in KF2. So yes, it is naturally weaker. Sounds pretty good though.

Yeah, just comparing it to other tier 2 weapons in KF2 it is pretty much no contest.

As for sound quality, good. Has the BOOM to it. In terms of damage what the second guy said said.

Now if we were to really talk about a quiet sounding shotgun, the AA12 is the one that sounds like POPOPOPOPOP instead of BOOBOBMOBMOBMBOBOOOMOMBOBMOBMBOMBOMOOM

Did I hear right that the last audio pass made the gun sounds a bit lower than usual? Hard for me to tell admitedly.

I just think to myself "Well, it's beats Doom 3's attempt at 'realistic' gun sounds" and that's good enough for my ears.

As for "worse than KF1"... Let's be honest, no attempt at anything approaching "balance" would be anywhere near as strong as "Nearly instant death".

Harder than it looked to pull off? Oh yeah. But still the main reasons the Devs have been trying to make Scrakes and Pounds tougher.

Because while it feels cool to pull off, to an outside observer it makes the toughest enemies in the game look like a joke (regardless of the trickshot skill I personally lack to manage it).

I'm not saying it's Wrong Bad Fun for that to be done in KF1 (again, ***ing LOL if I ever thought I could manage it), just why KF2 is trying to move away from that... Even if they fumble the ball on the attempt at times.

"Okay, we're avoiding leading the boss to a door full of more explosives than a Roadrunner Cartoon and instantly killing them."
"Well, that's understandable-"
"Which is why so much as a second C4 gets a 50% damage penalty"
"What. That is some spectacular overkill there. At least give us two good C4's worth so two demos aren't screwing eachother over"

*sigh*

You just made me depressed that the Scrake/FP sounds aren't in the game. We need them back so bad.

Yeah, while I like the new Fleshpound more visually? Even my "Played it very casually" self misses the robo voice taunts the KF1 pound had.

I stand by my original statements. The gun is much weaker than the original.

Also I don't get people saying it sounds good? Its quieter than the pump action 12 gauge, significantly quieter. I'll try to record both and post it.

Also to the guy that says AA12 sounds weak, it sounds much louder and more powerful than the double barrel.
