Shotguns and Handguns are worthless !!

[Captaindjent]

Blasted a guy with no helmet at point blank range 5 times with a shotgun. Didn't even flinch, Then he immediately 1 shots me square in the eyeball? Come on man.Imbalances like this is not acceptable in a game where you lose all your gear when you die.

Same thing happened with a Glock yesterday. I counted 9 headshots to an AI soldier. He didn't even flinch, then immediately 1 hit killed me once again.

Armour is also questionable when the AI can kill you this easily. A challenge is great, but this feels completely unfair and loses many hours of progress and gear. Not sure if it's a server issue or what but it definitely needs to be addressed.

100% agree whats the point?

Also whats the point in trying to be stealth the AI in this is utter BS, you shoot from a good distance away in a bush with a silencer and the enemy turns around and auto starts beaming you,

p!ss poor dev work

More i play more i avoid the gunfights.... kind of a strange feeling for a FPS game.

Ive just had a similar thing happen, walked to the motel right outside the base with a pistol, just trying to pick off a couple of AI to get some weapons. First guy took 21 glock rounds to go down, he was literally just wearing a pair of shorts. The AI is broken in this game currently.

oh yeah i've started only taking in 1 suppressed M4 as my sole gun as it serves the same use as every single gun in the game right now, balancing is definitely chalked

I'm not going to say you were missing your shots but in my experience, I use a Glock with the XP+ ammo and was able to 1-2 tap AI in the head (depending on armor) at Fort Narith while trying to retrieve my body. Same thing with the shotgun. I was using the 12 GA SST Sabot Slug with great effect. Regular ammo for the shotgun and glock are terrible against armor, so maybe that was the issue?

this shooting game meta is about who going to 1 tap who frist.

shotgun and pistol?, are u sure u can reach a closer distance before ai 1 tap you?

just go riffle or sniper with zoom and you will be fine

[Flakkandi Vetr]

its an ammo type issue. though the stealth talked about i agree, the sight lines for the scavs are wild seeing as they can see you snipe with a silencer. but other than that, its an ammo type issue, the basic ammo is meant to be weak.

Devs know about it. Check the Briefing video.

9mm and shotty will get buffed.

[TommyFortress]

Thats odd.. I shoot AI's at the head from 15+ meters with a shotgun with 12Gauge Flightcontrol buckshot and so far they have been 1 hits.

Completely agree. I think it's busted and will need a lot of work. Hopefully this can improve throughout Early Access

Yes I swear it's typically in that same Hotel location that I've experienced this multiple times. It's absolutely insane

The M4 is great. Balancing will need some serious updates
