Why are shotguns so OP in this game?

[Viktor Entrati]

i can safely say that in all my playtime 90% of my deaths have been to shotguns 8% to rifles and pistols and 2% to AI.

Why do i die to shotguns so much? Simple answer. Shotguns have too many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ variations. A shotgun can either be a flamethrower with dragon breath, preventing you from ever seeing again, it can be a fully automatic shotgun that can destroy trios entirely or best of all, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sniper.

In other games if i know someone has a shotgun all i gotta do is stay away from it, in hunt showdown i gotta think if it has either of those 3 or regular old shotgun, theres never a safe way to play around shotguns. ive been killed by one as close as 2-5 meters away and as far as 50+ meters away. What in the ♥♥♥♥?

Edit: after this post ive died to 5 terminus and 4 crown and kings. 3 of said shotguns had flechete

snipers/long ammo are meta. you are just in low elo.

[geordiebroon58]

so why cant you just "stay away from it"?

its an obv counter to keep your distince to a shotgun user, theyd have to use pistol and be at a disadvanatage (even if minor)

also shotguns dont even have an effective range of 50m even when using slug

Jackass, did you even read the post? staying away doesnt save you. slugs exist

You must not be challenging very much from compounds. I have died probably as much to Sparks and Mosin as I have to shotguns. But then again I just can't help myself sometimes shooting back.

No idea what you tried to say

Lets do a test to see if shotguns are infact OP

Shotgun at 150m : does nothing
Shotgun at 100m : does nothing
Shotgun at 50m : does nothing
Shotgun at 25m : does nothing
Shotgun at 10m : 1 to 3 shots to kill
Shotgun at 5m : 1 to 3 shots to kill

Long Ammo test
Rifle at 150m : 2 tap kill
Rfile at 100m : 2 tap kill
Rifle at 50m ; 2 tap kill
Rifle at 25m : 2 tap kill
Rifle at 10m : 2 tap kill
Rifle at 5m : 2 tap kill

Yes there are slugs which make some shotguns work to about 20m, So does crossbow and the bow....looks balanced to me. After further review, no flag on the field, 1rst down.

because shotguns arer OP irl too?


They use a different method to kill. Instead of penetrating it will send a wall of pellets towards you that will cause a strong impacting force which will send a Shock towards your body which leads to a sudden drop in bloodpressure.

So if a bit of it hits you you will be fine... but if it hits you at close range you will die instantly.

At close distance its like someone would swing multiple Sledgehammers your way which force gets absorbed through your body. Also called "Neurogenic shock"

OP ? now ? hahahahahahahaha
I had fired a slug from 4mt into the back of a player with Romero

he just kept running like nothing

first of all, crossbow and busted are giga broken in the right hands, and by the right hands i mean another gigabroken person because they gotta really put a lot of work on making those two work, altough i gotta say the crossbow with boltshot its an instakill at any distance if you can work with the travel time and arc. also am very sure you didnt just jump in game and tested all those shots, with rifles i understand if can kill you since you know, its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rifle with long ammo of course its gonna have reach, but shotguns with slugs shouldnt be able to kill you from 20 meters away and have penetration
