Remove or nerf hard S12K

[rola]

Shotguns. Kind of bullsh!t weapons, should be nerfed maybe a little bit. But since they shoot pretty slow it doesnt really matter. But then theres the S12K...
-Semiautomatic
-Fast fire rate
-High flinch, just like the other shotguns
-Same damage
-Magazine loaded, which means fast reloads + extended mags are a thing.
This sh!t is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous.

I feel like a little higher recoil along with making it just a little more rare would make it fine.

To be honest i agree that the S12K should take abit of a nerf, i've used a Pump action up close and full hit and they did not die, and i died pulling back the pump, and then on the S12K that has been a one shot every time AND it is semi-automatic and i feel like it has better range that the other shotguns despite its stats.

Perhaps the S12K should take abit of a damage deduction to make other shotguns more viable, and like someone else said, perhaps more recoil, doesn't even have as much recoil as a burst fire M16 xD

its never a "one shot every time" thats totally not true against an armoured apponent they arent that good you have to aim for the face and fire 2 shots. Its really good at the beginning fo the game when peopel have less if no armour but by the time the looting is over its not that good. People get beat by it easy at the start of the game and come here crying because

I dunno man, in my experience its been a near one shot every time, and that was way into the game aswell.

I know armour obviously makes a difference but my point still stands that the S12K does seem to be the more go to option as overall it does so much damage, and the pump action seems to do less or about the same.

its much shoorter on range then the pump which is shorter than the double barrel, its has a sweet spot which is in and around building but out of that its really bad. Its fine as it is. id much rather they spent their time on lags hacks and getting in and out of vehicles than the crying about a gun type posts.

At first I was like 'f***ing gay ass shotguns!!' but they're actually fine, and realistic.

Every weapon can 1-2 kill if you aim for the head when the enemy don't have helmets. Shotguns are not meant to be bean-bag shooters. Nerf shotguns and people will just ignore them. You will most likely not win a long range sniper fight with a shotgun.

NO ! Why would people want shotguns to be useless ? They are shotguns and are only useful for close quarters ! So you want them to be next to useless , is that it ?

As far as i know, no one wants shotguns to be useless, I just want the S12K to have some disadvantage over other shotguns, as right now it seems to practically be the same amount of damage as a pump, double barrel, with semi-auto function, making those two seem kinda useless to use by comparison.

There is already a disadvantage - short range. For anyone who has an assault rifle, you can take out the guy with the S12K with no problem or danger if you just keep your distance.

That much is true, but i've been close range with a Pump and aimed torso high, and the guy survived and killed me as i was pulling back the pump, but i've then used an S12K torso low and killed the person.

I know armour comes into account but when i used the Pump is was near the beginning of the game and the next game with the S12K was about 10-15 mins in.

Just seems like even with shorter range, which also doesn't seem to be by much, you would still win with the S12K cos of semi auto if you were in the same firefight from the same range.

I disagree 100%. OFC a semi-auto assault shotgun is going to whoop ass at close range. That's exactly what it's meant to do. You may as well be crying that the AWM is too good at range. Or that the 249 can spam too much fire. That's what it's built to do. if anything, it needs a buff. The AA-12 can fire much faster in real life with almost 0 recoil. You can literally fire it 1 handed and still nail a target at 20 feet.

Its an Saiga 12K[en.wikipedia.org] not an AA-12.[en.wikipedia.org]...

I agree too. At least lower the distance. I got shot at a good 50+m and downed in two hits by a shotgun...after I put 6 rounds into the guy who had no body armor with the UMP.

They should make the shotgun *sigh* unrealistic like every other game,and have it be awful past 10meter. Like yeah sure its unrealistic and the same as in every other game but its that way for a reason. This game isnt lacking innovation (as in the mode, only 3 other games with battle royale and 2 mods.) so it doesnt need to compensate in weapon mechanics. Thank god they didnt make the weapon mechanics like H1Z1. Why the ♥♥♥♥ does a semi automatic AR15 kick to the right? Makes it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass to shoot. And the AK... Accuracy is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage... But why? Why not just give it higher upwards recoil?
