Shotguns are underpowered

the first at least, And it needs a damage buff.

Naw, it has more consistancy in one shotting things than the second shotgun

[Dude]

They could use payday logic for shotguns like if one pellet connects then it deals damage as if all pellets hit the target

The pump shotgun is now one of 3 weapons in the game capable of killing an enemy in a single shot (the other 2 are also shotguns). As Blue said- the pump shotgun more consistently 1 shots than the semi-auto, at the cost of slowly chambering a new round and a disorienting ADS experience.
If you line enemies up right, you can drop 2 in a single shot, which is crazy powerful.

If anything shotguns are OVERpowered.

Run sawed off with speedloader skill, you can literally run around one tapping swat
primaries are only useful for sheilds and jugs now, sawed off can do literally everything else easily

[The Mechanic]

ok if you scope you can 1shot sheilds and 2shot jugs with sawed off
+ with speedloader it has infinite clip and infinite fire rate, if yall find shotguns bad yall just suck lol

[T0NAIL]

I've further tested shotguns and found that they fall flat on the museum map and the mansion, the one I played before I posted this, because of mostly medium-range spaces but do well on the other maps.

yea sry about the end part of the message, I got pretty heated when I saw the title lol
yea long range is kinda sucks, but I was still able to 1shot swat coming in main from orbital balcony

[The Mechanic]

but if you're in the long range the swat can't shoot you anyway, you can 1shot them outside of their distance. If a sniper is added in future I might change my mind about the sawed off
but as of right now is is objectively the best weapon in the game, nothing counters it.
