Shotgun damage should be fixed at close range

[S.D. Michelle]

Within 1~7m must be one shot kill but not hit with 2X or 3X damage, it is totally unacceptable.

How can a human survive face to face shotgun direct damage and he still can't die (just walk sideways in front of you or even he take the shot with the body but all bullet magically just hit his hand) , sick with the latency problem or whatever make this happen omg. Just delete shotgun which can't make a instant kill within 5m , if shotgun can't one shot kill over 7m, it is fine, but within 5m ? It make no sense to use shotgun can't instant kill within a close range in a two-shot-kill game.

Current situation of the range of scattershot comes from a shotgun is ridicules. I guess I am not the only one to get this feeling.

What?

Hard to follow that word vomit but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ can 1 hit kill bud within a pretty good range. Just have to land most of the pellets onto the body.

not sure what your on about, I never really used shotguns till this event kind of forced me to and boy oh boy is kills so much easier. Any other gun, even if you have the gun right up against their heads... its basically 50/50 chance it will connect with the head and not the shoulder, pinky finger, little toe or some other magical area

Shotgun though, man alive its almost every shot is a one tap within 15m. I guess the games Crappy server hit-reg and mechanics just favors shotguns over all other weapons

most close encounters under 5m shots miss due to latency + bullet velocity, the guy appears on you'r crosshair for half a second, you shoot but takes half a second for the server to register you shooting if you have latency 50ms (I'v played a vid in slow motion on one of my games and even if my shotgun whent off, crosshairs center mass of hunter, one frame later it showed the pellets landing behind the target ^^ ), so half a sec later he's not in you'r crosshair so you miss :)), even under 50ms you might hit him with only a few pellets, best chances to kill are when he run in line with you'r shot or make a bit of a lead shot with hes movement, also pray he don't have latency lower then you'r's ^^.

Shotties are A tier and S tier with Slugs. Its your misunderstanding of their aim mechanics and/or you are too far away.
They do not need a buff at all.

I think that's not about the mechanics, inside five meters, I can practically fill the entire reticle with the enemy hunter, and I just get 2X, 3X damage. I played in Asia server, 12ms latency only, how can it be possible. Something must be wrong.

Yes, I think I should switch back to using rifles due to the latency problem.

Sorry for my poor Engrish

Shotguns always kill at those range if you are correctly on target. No rng changes that. The only time you do like 20 dmg is when you are barely on target and 1-2 pellet hit the arm by chance.

[karabaş 🐕‍🦺]

to put it simple game is not realistic and has its own ballistic and damage mechanics, like nitro express being the most powerful gun in the game but also has the most damage drop off, it can go through stone/concrete walls but hits less than a mosin in 60 meter range

also in my experience i dont remember surviving a shotgun blast from melee range or up 10 meters, they die unless you shoot very poorly
