Scattergun vs Shotgun.

[Nehemiah Thomas]

So these two shotguns are really great for some stock weapons. And I was wondering "what's better?" I mean I think the shotgun is the second best but not fully. I want to see your opinion on this.

Scattergun, it does more damage and has a more satisfying firing sound

Good point but I mean the shotgun is for more classes and is really good for use of the Pyro.

Scatty has moar pellets, Moar damage, But it has Less accuracy and less range, As it's damage falloff is pretty hard, slightly moar than the Shotty, Which makes it better for the Scoot becuase He can get in, meatshot, then get out.

The Scattergun does more damage and is given to the Scout in order to make up for the Scouts low health, And the Shotgun (One I prefer) is given to most other classes as a back up for when their Stronger and more ammo-consuming weapons run out of ammo.

Scattergun. Faster reload interval. Lower damage falloff. More point blank damage. 175% damage compared to 150% damage ramp up.

Scattergun fires more pellets, but they're both as useful in the right hands. You can kill anyone within 4 shots in medium range with the shotty, which is not much considering the firing speed

Nope, Scatter fires 9 pellets, like the Shotgun does and 10 pellets if fixed spread is disabled.

The damage rampup of the Scatter is higher and the reload speed is also faster.

Statistically, the scattergun and the shotgun are almost the same, but the scattergun reloads the first shell 24% faster, consecutive shells 16% slower, and has 25% higher damage ramp up.

Yep, exactly.

Scattergun does more damage up close but the damage fallof is higher. The max damage a scattergun can do in 1 shot is 105, while a shotgun can do 90 max. The initial shell reloaded for a scattergun is faster while the following ones are slower. The opposite for the shotgun. The shotgun fires slightly faster.

I'm not sure about the Scattergun being less accurate, though it would make sense since it has a higher damage fallof.

necroposting but iirc the shotgun on one of the classes fires oh so infinitesimally faster than the scattergun, like fractions of fractions of a second faster

I like bumping an 11 year old thread just to make stuff up lol

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
