gg to who continue to state the shotgun perfectly works as it is.

 

 

To Accolyte:

The shotgun is not fine as you replied on the feedback! Please test it out more, it's ridicolous

For something that should take a mans head off, or blow a hole in him that you could stick your arm through its kinda weak...... <_<

 

Ditched mine awile ago....

[blacklabel79 949]

yeah not sporting the shorty anymore...its good fore breaking legs and ruining stuff but thats that...

[maninthewall 470]

I'd rather use my fists than a shotgun, it's worse than a sporter

[odin_lowe 3686]

It is a known bug. The shotgun only shoots 1 pellet per shot, or 2 if you shoot both barrels at once. (Instead of dozens...) It'll be fixed with a bunch of other fixes in an eventual patch.

[leviathanapsu 94]

I have had a lot of success with the sawed off shotgun myself. It seems worthless against zombies and takes four or more shots to kill one sometimes, but I have torn up several human attackers with it at a range of about five feet. One shot instant kill each time. So far, I haven't run into the bug affecting my person kills. Is it a bug that only affects things some of the time?

You didn't though. I have tested this yet again. Will always kill my target in 1-2 shots if hitting the torso. Headshots are almost always a one hit kill (colleague who was the target was wearing a helmet). It takes longer to kill someone if you hit their legs, but that kinda makes sense. Ranges we covered were point blank, 2m, 5m, 10m, 20m. Always the same result.

 

Note that the shotgun firing a single pellet is a known problem and is being looked into.

[King Raptor 191]

Sawn-off is bugged. Try it out on a wall, you'll see there is no spread and only one projectile.

 

I guess the "success" people are having depends on adepting to its new use but that desn't mean it's not broken, though.

[brumey 116]

i was so happy yesterday that i found a hecksaw to saw my shotty off.

with a big grin in my face i was running through balota airfield! i was not able to kill all the incmoing Zombies before they could hit me. tough i hit them everytime i shot! i sometimes hit the Zombies at Point blank. blood spreads. but Zombie not dead!

at the tentcity those Zombies ruined my jacket and high cap vest! shotgun Needs a buff^^

Are you sure you actually fired a pellet? Sometimes you can shoot more than 2 times but out of those (my personal maximum was 8!) only two will actually create an impact (seemlingly at random - maybe a connectivity/lag issue) the rest just plays the sound.

 

Also the Shotgun is very inaccurate - up the the point that double-fire has 100% dispersion: I shot a trailer from ~1m distance and the holes appeared ~1m away from each other.

probably then 2 shots i've done 1 pellet each...but i don't hope also for the third one...otherwise i'm getting upset!

 

The fact is, even if it is about the number of pellets perfectly work, It doesn't exist that i shoot a guy with a shotgun at point blank without make him at least inconscious

 

 

On point blank an handgun might pass your body part to part but does not have the power to stab you down, maibe knock down on the floor. While a shotgun spread is large enough and devastating that could lift up a body from the ground and fly away. Even if do you have a Kevlar body armor. It does protect you, but the shotgun power on point blank make you flight away....And you need several seconds or minutes to get up from the knockout.

Which version then? I guess you mean the Sawn off version then, as you successfully tested out the regular till 20 metres...

[BeefBacon 1185]

Sawn-off works fine for me. Don't see what all the commotion is about.

the long shotgun is bugged too. had the chance to kill someone with 3 shots in head and one in chest, he didnt even bleed. just killed me after that

As has already been said it's a confirmed issue that it only fires a single pellet (rather than numerous as it should) per "shell" hence the relatively recent (a few months?) fall in performance.

 

I really hope it's sorted soon, you can't whack a bit of shotgun combat. :P

[wud 143]

single pellet per shell ?
tested..
confirmed!
will keep my hands of it, until fixed
shotgun-drama 2 be continued 
wouldn´t be too bad if pistols would have a decent acuracy.. 
so, no 2nd weapon for me except for the fnx

THIS, AND I CANT REPEAT THIS FUCKING OFTEN ENOUGH.

[wud 143]

i know it´s not the topic

but.. may it be true, that the m1911 has the lowest dispersion ?

imho far better than cr75/revolver/etc.. 

can anyone confirm this ?

[leviathanapsu 94]

It looks like this is going to be a fixed issue soon! If I am reading this right, they already have the shotgun fixed in experimental. The next time they update the stable, we should see the shotgun at its full glory!!! Woo Hoo. Now if I can just stay alive long enough to see that happen. Sawed off, five snap loaders and half a case of shotgun ammo in anticipation.

[Grimey Rick 3417]

ITT:

The shotgun is terrible.

Moving on.

[DeatHTaX 1217]

Sooo...I don't mean to rip on anyone here...but how hard is it to simply change the model, and adjust the stats of the shotgun when sawed off, and keep the number of projectiles the same? I mean...how did this get screwed up down the line?

 

 

Some of these bugs and glitches just baffle me. But then again I am not a coder, so feel free to flame me.

I think the only sure fire way to take somebody down is to punch them in the head if they don't have a helmet.   Every time someone has tried that to me I got knocked out... every, single, fucking.... time.

[a_ruttle 199]

Most of my kills have been with the sawn off, it's great, you just have to resist the urge to splooge out all the bangy stuff you have immediately on seeing someone, put it right in his upper chest and let rip, the recoil will take the second shot up into his face.
