Semi-automatic shotguns?!

[ATAMAH]

Good day, dear comrades developers!
I really love shotguns, but I'm really surprised why there are no semi-automatic shotguns in the game?
I am confident that semi-automatic shotguns will bring back the interest and relevance of this weapon.
I would really like to see such shotguns as Saiga-12 or Spas -15 in the game!

I don't particularly want automatic shotguns, but just a couple of good old fashioned semi-auto shotguns would be awesome indeed. Ones that don't 'fail to pump and load' at the drop of a hat, whether you're hit or not.

Yes, this is also a good option, but I suggested specifically combat assault shotguns.

I like Saiga-12, owned for a long time, great house defense tool. Here is a little gun knowledge here. The frame of this gun is the same as an AK, and with the know how's can be converted.

That's the one thing I would like in this game for guns, conversion kits. Also, no auto pistols, though impractical, would still be cool to have.

+1 for semi shotguns - Would love to field a Spas-15 shotgun

the auto 5 is a combat shotgun. has been used in multiple theaters of warfare since its introduction in 1902. special models were made for the south African defense force during the Rhodesian bush war being one of the most recent documented occurrences. it is actually the most "combat used" semiautomatic shotgun in existence. period.

I hate shotguns in this game in almost every situation, but I’m always for more weapon diversity. So +1 to anyone suggesting new guns regardless. Even if it was just a water pistol.

Why do you hate shotguns in SCUM? I hate the way they've screwed them up, by making them jam up and fail to pump for no good reason a high percentage of the time, but when they worked properly, i love them.

I think you hate shotguns precisely because they are a very weak weapon now.
Now a shotgun is good for shooting a noob, and if he suddenly has a bulletproof vest, he won't even feel this shot, and I think it's wrong.
Shotguns in the game now have three types of cartridges to choose from, but only a bullet is effective, but it is difficult for it to hit.
We love shotguns precisely for the ability to shoot shot or grapeshot, but it is almost useless now.

I wonder what the developers think about this !?)

[ATAMAH]

hopefully sooner or later we'll get assault shotguns!)

The SDASS weapon might be something up your alley. :) Will see if we have any shotguns planned for release sometimes soon.

I really hope for new shotguns, but SDASS is a pump-action shotgun, and I would really like a semi-automatic shotgun, or even better with a drum magazine!)

I just personally find them bad in pvp situations. If you know your opponent has a shotgun, all you need to do is zig zag and he will never hit you. I think in all my hours in this game, I've been killed by a shotgun twice.

They're ok if you can hit a static target, but as soon as it moves side to side... neh. Useless. This also has something to do with the coding, or its performance - because as soon as something is moving quickly from side to side, everything feels very "unresponsive".

Yes, I completely agree with you, at the moment in the game even the best shotgun is a weapon against a beginner without armor, and only if you shoot first from an ambush.
If we say you have a shotgun but no armor, and I have any melee weapon, then most likely you are a corpse, as I can easily reach you, running in different directions and only luck can save you.
It is for this reason that I am asking the developers to add semi-automatic shotguns.
2 days ago I had two funny situations, in the first case I was attacked by a man with a shotgun, and I only had a stone ax, guess who was the winner?)
The second case was even more revealing, I attacked a man with only an M9 pistol and our favorite Bushman knife, but he was not alone, but with his friend, it was a small detachment. My opponents were armed with shotguns, I killed one with a pistol, the other I could only injure, and my pistol was already empty.
Then I just took a knife and, running in different directions, I was able to reach my opponent and killed him with two blows!)
