Auto-Shotgunning a witch insta-kill

[RobotParty]

I *just* tried this with a friend (on realism, but I've seen it done on expert or whatever the 2nd highest is) and I have seen with my own eyes people who have insta-killed a witch with certain weapons (e.g. sniper rifle, or in this case auto-shotgun) and... It didn't work for me? I clicked as fast as I could(which is pretty damn fast) and if you hold the button down, it shoots slower than if you rapidly click. So, what's the trick? At this point, I'm assuming a mod/cheat that lets you shoot as quickly as possibly. That, or it just doesn't work for me, ever.

You're asking how to cr0wn a witch? You just put the shotgun against her skin and shoot. If you're on expert, you have to be aiming square at her face when you shoot. Only takes one shot. Don't need an auto shotgun to do it unless you're on expert realism. Btw, i'd like to see someone instant kill the witch with a sniper. That'd be crazy.

You can't do that in realism.

Oh, well, fair enough. I still can't manage to do it in normal modes, though. Is it very specific on where you shoot?

Seen a couple of ppl do it in realism but they have two survivors shotgun the witch by startling it as a signal. Never seen it done solo even with auto shotgun or combat shotgun.

Other modes/difficulties are fairly easy, obviously aim for the head/face, it's annoying when the heads move which is why they tend to startle it which holds it still for 1 second.

I wanted to disprove that, but after a few attempts it's looking like you're right. Odd thing is I remember raging over this years ago on xbox, we chased the witch and kept shooting her till she died after she killed someone (which took a good 30+ seconds of continuous shooting). Next witch died normally, might have taken 2 shots though.

You can do it by yourself in realism expert.
Shoot her head once and strike with melee weapon.

Not with a shotgun. You can do it with m60, AK47, either of the sniper rifles, or magnum. A theory is that it's an issue of what does the most damage per shot, as you CAN stumble a witch with a shotgun blast on campaign (shotguns are nerfed in realism).

You need to shoot her in the back of the head before she gets alerted. You can also do it with the pump shotguns but if you miss with some of the spread then she can still kill you. Start practicing with auto shot guns and if you get better then try with pump shotguns.

You don't have to aim for the head to kill a witch.
With any shotguns, as long as all the pellets hit her at blank point, she should be dead.
With any T2 shotty, just get really close, stay still and shoot 2-3 times.
With any T1 shotty, you'll need to an a really accurate shot in her body so you won't miss a pellet. Crouching can help too.

I love this training map. Got me good at crowning. But you need to follow through with your shots. Make sure you kill her! Depending on how close you are/how accurate, you may only need 1, or you could need like 4. Try to make all your pellets hit her by centering your crosshair on her.

Shot to the head, shove, x4 melee. Your welcome.

This has been patched, sorry guy.

Or get far enough and shoot her 12 times in the body, or +-8 times in the head.

I'm not sure that counts as an instant kill honestly..
