First of all you should check what ammo you use and what is it capable of. The dragons breath (fire rounds), starshell or flechette cannot kill with one shot. No matter the distance.

Really?
I actually didnt know that

I knew it was reduced damage, which I figured simply meant reduced 1-tap range

But even a perfect shot with those ammo types cant kill?

Most of times even "perfect" shots with a shotty with normal ammo don't kill, so...

Unless it's my enemy using it. I posted a video of someone 1 tapping me from full health with a Spectre Compact from 9 meters, despite the gun supposedly not being able to one-shot kill from beyond 7 meters. Of course I have videos of me requiring 3 shots with a full sized Spectre from 9 meters with my sights dead on a person before they'll die, yet inevitably a flood of fanboying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ will show up to tell me why it worked the way it did and I just need to git gud, despite being better than they are.

Don't the fire rounds also badly decrease the damage?

Is it not self explainatory to shoot the body with a shotgun. I mean without even knowing the numbers the entire point of shotguns is that they KILL close range if you do a solid it. Obviously the shotgun has spread and the body has more surface area so obviously not shoot the head when you have a full torso you can try to hit.

I never really played with shotguns but I think I need to try soon.

Shotguns are RNG gods cause its not one bullet but a pellet spread. Where as a sword is one solid sharp object flying at you. Exception is custom ammo, but you didn't mention useing any in the OP description.

I do feel your pain though, i recently fell in love with the Lemant. and I will say that 2 out of 3 shots will kill a hunter one tap to the chest. Its that one shot though... RNG jesus goes rawr and I get knifed or something.

i do agree that shotguns fail many times. i think is because broken hit detection.

once, i was with a crown and king and shot a hunter about 5 meters away. maybe even less since he was charging at me. hit the 1st shot on his chest region and he didnt fall. ok, maybe i hit him in the arm or something then i shot again and this time he was seriously facing the shot. as i was turning to look for another hunter, after all, he took the 2nd shot in his chest less than 3 seconds after the 1st shot, my surprise: he didnt die! wtf?! i shot again to his chest. got hit by a big romero shot and died. he got hit the 3rd time and was left with less than 25 hp (judging from his last small life bar).

and also getting hit should make more to your aim and movement than it really does. ive played games in which you could even loose some balance (not enough to fall on the ground but the character would move against the impact somehow) and the aim would also suffer.

All the ammo types have less damage except slug ammo. Also im talking about all weapon types not just shotguns. Honestly they are only good for killing monsters (fire and poison ammo).

[o_O]

just do the math: average hunter has 150 hit points. shotguns cause more than 150 damage points when within their range. target being much more away than this range cause much less damage since shotguns suffer the most with targets beyond range (but funny enough, i dont see an ark happening that justifies the "less pellets hitting the target" explanation).

now, if you hit a hunter in the face withing its few meters of range, it should be:

the damage * the headshot modifier (unless its a slug, then theres no modifier).

even with other ammo types (but not with slugs) that have reduced damage, withing range, it should be a huge damage.
