S686 is a one shot kill against lvl 3 armor/helm?

[Tincup_the_Middleman]

Guy single tapped me while I was full hp and full lvl 3 armor. Ran up the stairs , fires one shot , insta kills me...

Never seen that before. I have survived any non-headshot shotty hit before with less armor.

Not really sure what went on in this instance.

Ok 200 dmg. But how much armor/hp does lvl 3 armor's provide? That page didn't have info for vests.

It's a shotgun. End of story.

Gee! Thanks for the constructive feedback. As useless, given the context of my post , as it was.

I'd honestly say the majority of my deaths are instantaneous, but I'm guessing it only seems instantaneous from my perspective due to differences in latency.

It's either that or there are a heck of a lot of aimbotters (100% headshots to the face) in this game nowadays, but if I were to believe that then the game would no longer be fun to play, so I choose to lean the other way.

Tier 3 armor is 55% damage to chest, doesn't cover limbs (which are 50% of chest damage by default, headshot 2.5 times damage to head (minus the 55% from helmet, don't know how that applies). (according to tests in-game, video in Youtube)

HArd to say about shotguns damage, how many pellets it shoots? Where they land? What damage each?

Sometimes you one shot someone, sometimes it takes more than 3 shots.

Ya I have no saltiness dying , even to hackers. And yes I have had hackers take me out. Blatantly no less.

Was just wondering because with less armor I have survive shotty blasts quite a bit (excluding headshots of course).

This was the first time I had both lvl 3 armors on and someone shotty'd me. So I was surprised AF going down in one shot to the legs no less.

Chest armor don't cover legs. It does more damage to shoot the limbs, than in chest to someone wearing level 3 armor.

That makes more sense if the pellets are all counted individually. I think he was simply close enough that he got lucky and hit me with the entire buckshot.

(Jump to 2:10 here in this one, S686 vs lvl3 chestpiece)

You basically can not survive good shotty shot.

[Tincup_the_Middleman]

TY! for the vids! Makes sense if he is that close for all the buckshot to hit and take full dmg.

Much appreciated.

Also good to know. Ty.

[Charmander787]

yes

the shotguns in this game are very very very good.

Actually more realistic than the rifles in this game lmao

I mean in all reality if you had full gear on and you got shot up close with a shotgun : First your gonna wish u were dead ur gonna have broken ribs. Now from game perspective we need to find out what each pellet deals as far as damage cause shotguns are really good in this game and some cases I think the range on some are ridiculous (without a choke)
