Flyingpapaya 86 Posted May 10, 2019 I feel it plays like a shotgun should, close it's dangerous but as you get far like it should less effective. Thanks devs! I haven't experimented with buck vs slug I just load from inventory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
awalsh47 200 Posted May 10, 2019 Yep. It's a fantastic starter weapon. Hunt game with slugs, great city looting defence weapon and ammo is plentyful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNTRCTKILLER 9 Posted May 11, 2019 Only time I run without one is if i haven't found one yet. 9 out of 10 close combat encounters it's what I use. Has saved me many of times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I was a fresh spawn) reminds me of a fight the other day with this guy, we both had slugs and we ended up missing about 10 shots until finishing with fists hah Edited May 11, 2019 by nikoor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took a wrong turn and he didnt run out of rounds .. . . close combat (currently zombies only), I always use a knife. Its just a pain that they get damaged so quick (the knives) Edited May 11, 2019 by aux7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aux7 234 Posted May 11, 2019 Just now, nikoor said: unlucky. the knifes should work even when ruined tho? yeah, I watched Baty playing with a ruined knife in that last devs video, I havent tried it yet though. 1 minute ago, nikoor said: what's up with the melee combat on exp that I keep reading complains about? Dont know, havent had to fight anything yet, but by the sound of it I am not looking forward to it. Still not happy about the nightlight either, you have no idea how concealed you are in the undergrowth at night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitroglycerine 26 Posted May 12, 2019 if your melee vs zombies a can of food is much more effective than you'd think :) I use it over a knife every time spaghetti is dangerous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FearFokkol 131 Posted May 13, 2019 I recently started carrying this along with the Tundra for long range, thats my "gear" setup I really like the BK-133, but with 00Buck as this is all that I use in case of any unfriendly players, it's very well suited for close to "mid" range which is mostly when pvp occures in the towns, cities, barracks "Mostly" or the woods and ammo is plentyfull. Would be nice if development would add the option to unchamber the weapons on Dayz, then can switch between the available rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
