Lupatchi 143 Posted January 6, 2014 Hey guys, so We have all seen ammo for the double barrel around, but my question is... is it actually in the game? Some of my friends have said they have seen ones, others say it doesn't exist... yet. So is it in the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted January 6, 2014 The shotgun(s) (normal and sawed off) were suppose to be in alpha, but there was something wrong with them for the release build so they took them out, think they just forgot to take out the shells too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steak and Potatoes 13480 Posted January 6, 2014 If they were in the pre-release testing they would have probably saw them but as for now they are not there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enforcer1975 1111 Posted January 6, 2014 Well i think they should just keep them out since 99% will use "sniper rifles" or M4s anyway because i don't think they can control the "rarity" problem when farming is still possible. The remaining 1% are the victims who don't get anything but the projectiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaingunfighter 917 Posted January 8, 2014 Well i think they should just keep them out since 99% will use "sniper rifles" or M4s anyway because i don't think they can control the "rarity" problem when farming is still possible. The remaining 1% are the victims who don't get anything but the projectiles.The whole point of adding guns like the shotguns is so that they can balance weapon spawns and make a larger majority of weapon spawns become shotguns over M4s and military-grade guns. Not everyone is going around and farming, many people like to play legitimately and loot their stuff fairly. People won't be able to farm military gear as much when the majority of weapons are lower-grade, and you'll have a lot of people toting double-barrels and hunting rifles (ala Mosin/SKS in near-future) while the well equipped people will be using the M4 and the like.
