I saw a video with a guy shooting across the street on a building top with a shotgun he killed one hit...the damn thing is so random IMO cause i got shot point blank and lived so IDK

One of the bullets must've hit that guy in the head. Although I believe the damage per pellet is very weak compared to Arma 2.

I got blasted once by a sawed off in Balota, full health, died, from 10m. I was wearing a holster and baseball cap, so your armor might have affected it. Its just extremely random... but deadly indoors.

I've killed and been killed in one hit. I think the problem is that it is difficult to tell where exactly the crosshair falls. People that think it's weak are missing most of the spread.

I didn't know there was a bug. Thanks for the tip, what does the bug do (or not do)?

they fixed it.

read da patch notes  :pp

 

Bug:

when you loaded shells with the snaploader, the shells only travel with 210 m/s, i thin, instead of 900m/s.

So in the end the snaplaoded shells did ~ -70% less, than manually loaded.

I took both barrels from across a street, went unconcious, my buddies killed the guy after I put 6 rounds into them, but everything except my hat, boots, gloves, axe, and rifle were ruined.  One of my buddies got clipped with the first shot from a different one and then got finished off by the second.  Seen a few people die with 1 shot from it.

just watching people play in 3rd person is infuriating

Why? I don't understand why people get mad of it. I mean, I really like first person versus first person. But third person versus third person is the same right? No unfair disadvantage.

I guess its sort of realistic. Since he did have a sawn off shotgun and from the distance he was behind you in the first video the bb's would have went all over the place. Maybe just a few bbs hit you each time. The last shot he got on you most of the bbs hit the ground in front of you it seemed. When they add slugs to the game they should be very powerful but extremely inaccurate after like 15 yards with the sawn off, but accurate at like 60 yards with shotgun not sawn off. Also even up close with buckshot would not kill you instantly all the time but would cause massive bleeding and eventual death. I like the randomness of the shotgun right now, although when they add slugs it should drop people easily.

 

I shot a raccoon up close with 20 gauge buckshot in the head before because it was sick. It was bleeding badly but still breathing so I finished it with a slug.

 

Edit- Just noticed it on his back at the end and it was not a sawn off....guess it is kind of weak right now unless the guys shots were way off and he just winged you each time. I know the last shot was off.

I faced some dude with Izh once. He shot twice at me at distance 1.5m - 2m and caused me a little bit more than... no damage. Laughing loudly I took him off with Blazer. So, Izh is epicly random.

BBs? Really?

 

I don't know why they removed slugs. They were in before the shotgun was.

[irishroy 1347]

the slugs were bugged.

because even if you had slugs from pre-patch, you couldn't load them into the shotty.

Yes, weak, or he missed.
