Shotguns broken?

[Fajeth 32]

Hey,

after confirming that it's a 3 shot kill with M1911 and Revolver, I noticed that the shotguns (M1014 / Remington 870) are a 2 shot Z kill now?

Was at the NW airfield after spawning in Kamenka and found a Winchester on the way, nothing unusual about the Winchester, onehit for Zs. At the southern barracks I switched to a M1014 and pulled a nice Z train over the airfield to the hangars, trying to kill the Zs it was 2 bodyhits for every Z (had enough Zs to try it several times).

Not believing myself I switched to the Remington in the next Hangar just to get the same results ... 8 Slug mag Remi / M1014 needs

2 bodyhits for a Z and the 15 Slug Winchester only needs one bodyhit. (no red / yellowchains while testing)

Anyone else has this problem?

yep i can confirm this,

i died yesterday and found a M1014 shotun in cherno. first i thought i got some kind of lag but I killed 5 zeds with two shots each before i threw the shotgun away. if it does less than 4k damage point black with slug ammo its useless.

i think the new beta patch severely borked some of the guns firepower. 1911 revolver and now shotguns are useless weapons : ( I guess this explains why i lost a firefight earlier when i shot a guy 4 times with a 1911 and he ended up killing me with his saw : /

Yeah- I've had the same problem with the Remington and the M1911. Do we know if it's a deliberate change or if the beta patch has messed with damage.

I managed to creep upon a fully kitted out sniper on the hill overlooking Elektro. I aimed my Remington at him from close range. I put four or five rounds into him and he still wasn't dead (although he was unconscious and bleeding heavily) - he was able to ALT+F4 out of the game.

I took a point-blank shot from a DM and just broke a leg, took a second shot that put me unconscious and a third shot to finish me off.

Now, that gun is a sniper rifle, I know cause I managed to snag one (unbeknownst to me, somebody had established the firestation as a base and came home) so I know it's got some power... I don't think it should take 3 shots from a beast like that to take an unarmored player out.
