SHOTGUNS

[鬼]

i was thinking of it wile i was playing for a long time, and doing well with the experience of the game, but after a certain time, i was missing a weapon class in the game, the shotguns, so i make the question, why that hasn't shotguns already? and if they're planning to add them later, how much time it'll take? it's just an explanation of myself here, because i didn't thougth that was fair, to make a whole class of weapons, missing of such a complete game like battlebit, considering battlefield has shotguns too, what do you think guys? and what do you think off that, the game masters?

Devs have stated they have zero intention on adding shotguns to the game

And everyone else has said that is a dumb decision with zero legitimate justification. The time to kill is currently approximately 0.05 seconds and snipers can on-shot from across the map. Being able to one shot within 5 yards would not be unbalanced. Shotguns would also give the Assault class a reason to exist. The devs are just wrong.

I was just giving the OP an answer, chill. Frankly I don't care if they get added or not, more than enough weapons and gadgets in the game to satisfy me for quite awhile. Plus they need to balance their mess of weapons and attachments as it is instead of adding other things they can't balance properly.

Sadly the devs seem to be of the opinion that shotguns are noob weapons, and apparently I've heared want to make the game "a haven without shotgun".
I've had people tell me that on their Discord they openly hated on shotguns or something. Take it with a pinch of salt though since it's a report from someone (never hoped on their discord).

All in all we probably aren't gonna see shotguns anytime soon, which I find quite disapointing tbh. I guess that also excludes stuff like antimaterial rifles and exotic weapons.

I remember Bad Company 2's shotgun slugs had zero bullet drop. You could literally snipe with them, so at least we're not putting up with that now. Even though shotguns don't actually ADS in that game.

Devs should add shotguns.

The devs design decisions for the game can be summed up as "because ♥♥♥♥ you, that's why"

For the time being their decisions made a game that many people seem to enjoy. So now we have to see how it's gonna evolve, if the matter abouf shotguns will backfire and if it does how they are going to adapt.
They swaped from a mil sim to a baseline arcade experience during development because of player feedbacks. So I suppose they are open to rethinking their decisions if they need to.

They'll cave in and add it at some point as the game gets more popular. Would like to see it exclusive to assault and engineer or something.
