Rifled Slug for VC Shotty - Redundant?

[RENEGADE SOI]

Sniped a Cobra gunner today with the VC Long Barrel using 00 which was tasty. Have scored multi-kills when randomly popping off at transports too.

Is the rifled slug good for vehicle penetration? Anyone use it in an anti-materiel capacity? I for the life of me don't know what situation calls for it given that one can snipe with 00 to 100m+ and wreck someones day whereas using solid slug bullet at such ranges will seldom see a kill landed. In fact rifled slug can't be relied upon to kill at close to medium oftentimes.

Is it useless? Why bother equipping? How do you like your slugs in the morning?

I only use shotguns now if I can get the class as the AK and M16 take 2 or even 3 hits to drop anyone, the shotgun though especially the VC double barrel I was popping GIs of at 60+m with one barrel it's insane damage straight kill!! Getting 20+ kills a match with shotgun campared to 10 at most with rifles

This is really bugging me, why is taking multiple AK rounds to drop people? Especially to center mass. I've never had a problem in RO2 or Rising Storm with well placed shots to center mass, but in this game. All ever hear is hitmarkers, and then blood splatter, and a G.I sprinting full speed like nothing is happening.

The only weapon you can use to compare from the older games is the MKB42.

Which did take 2 shots.

Exactly that's why I go shotgun 1st and just plain old buckshot to don't even bother with slugs, was sick of being in a fire fight with GIs or VC with an assault rifle only to get 1 shot killed by a shotgun from 60+m so I thought hmmmm I'm gonna go shotgun to and never looked back.

I would prefer if the 00 buck out of this shotgun preformed more like reality. While 00 buck can kill in the beyond 50 meter range, usually the pattern is utterly trash. And thus you would actually need slugs in the 60 and over meter range to reliably get the job done. But just WHY right now? Buck is better 95 percent of the time right now.

And center mass drops folks pretty much ALL the time with the rifles. Not just to the side, but center gets the job done. Folks forget about bullet velocity/moving targets and/or the games sight misalignment from not waiting that fraction of a second to get the front and rear sight lined up.

While everyone is praising the 00 buck.

Most people still actually need 2 shots over 50m. It's just that you got 2 shots with the hunting shotgun. Plus you can get off another follow up shot extremely quickly with the hunting gun.

Also nobody is praising the range of the coach gun or Ithaca M37. Only the hunting shotgun. Which has the longest barrel and a full choke.

I wonder what happens if you put slugs on the sawn-off.

Yeah I know you can't, I'm just imagining what if you can.

you would probably not hit anything because of the "collapsed stock" aiming system

git gud
Seriously though, that only hurts at long range. Won't make much of a difference at short and short-ish range, once you got used to it.

yeah,but the barrels are short and will probably guide the slug elsewhere

Yup. But it's not because of the aiming system.

Might be interesting to use the slug to get through cover with the sawn-off though.

a single barreled shotgun primary or sawed off single barrel shotgun secondary that only use slugs would be cool,trading firepower for accuracy

Did you play rising storm 1? BAR with grip gave you similar performance to current AKM but one shot kills and 20r mag.

Without grip it had recoil though

The BAR is also in RS2 and in RS2 it kills in one shot.

It's also firing the most powerful rifle cartridge in the game while the AK is firing an intermediate cartridge.

It's the bullet that matters.

Only thing you really need it for is hitting people beyond ~50m who are prone or in high cover. Distant prone targets are fairly hard to get with 00.
