TheMachine 803 Posted July 3, 2014 I thought the whole point in adding weapons in one at a time was to have them (somewhat) working before they made it into the live build?Clearly I was wrong, the shotgun is completely pointless. You can give it to someone with both barrels at near point blank range and they'll eat it and smile. Shit, almost any position on your torso taking a hit from a 12 gauge at sub-100 yard range is death, shotguns are fucking deadly. Not in DayZ though, you stand a far better chance with a 9mm pistol at 50 yards than you do with a 12 gauge at 10 yards. Just remove them. Your avatar and the image you posted has been removed.

Elle 562 Posted July 3, 2014 umm if you don't like how the shotgun works then don't use it. in the mean time there are plenty of peeps that just like the way it looks and had you been following the threads on current builds you might be aware of the fact that the shotgun issues are known and are being investigated - why all of the massive over-reach on your part?? remove it from the game.... just silly.

frosti 2165 Posted July 3, 2014 According to devs shotgun works as intended.. However I was expecting a boomstick like in a movie "Evil Dead" and when I saw it off I expected to be Mad Max.. Too bad that even the fists are better then shitgun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krihelion 175 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Ive kiled plenty of people with IzH, but I got into a gunfight with 3 guys with a sawed off in a police station and got hit 3+ times, none of my gear went below worn and killed them all. (They had sawed offs) Edited July 3, 2014 by Krihelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elle 562 Posted July 3, 2014 According to devs shotgun works as intended.. yeah I read some of that yesterday - however I am pretty sure they are still looking over the "single pellet" problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UltimateGentleman 355 Posted July 3, 2014 I'm fairly sure it only recently got nerfed. Anything up to 10m is an easy kill that's what it should be used for it's not main weapon material ideally saw it off and use it to clear buildings.It has it's place. Just because you can't kill people from 50m with it doesn't mean they should remove it, else they might as well remove the Amphibia and Sporter and everything else crap and just leave AKM's and M4's because they're good. There needs to be some shit weapons you're forced to use or run away.If you have no weapons and are locked in a house with 20 zombies on your ass and there happens to be a shotgun with some shells there used properly it's gonna save you.Better than nothing.

Khanarac 252 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) As far as I know the shotgun is bugged. Only 1 shell per pellet instead of 9 how it used to be before the infamous 0.45 patch, Shoot it against a wall and see the mess for yourself.

TomatoSupra 207 Posted July 3, 2014 Took me 4 shells to kill a zombie last night. Was wishing i had a 22 about halfway into loading the next snap loader. I just hate the fact that its a placeholder for a different, better, gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rigor Mortis (DayZ) 141 Posted July 3, 2014 Add 20 zombies to game pls.I really want to see towns teeming with zombies, but I'll tell you that one time I ran through a town and aggro'd 8 zombies... it was a rather disturbing experience. I really hope that they first fix the strange behavior of the zeds -- then I hope they add dozens, if not hundreds of zombies to towns and at least small hordes randomly roaming the countryside.
