So as you fine ladies and gentlemen you can obviously see there have been many threads on the topic of fixing/buffing/reverting the shotgun to make it more effective in combat. However even though there are threads dating back months and months they still have not been fixed its almost 2022 now.
Dear developers of enlisted i just want to say i do love your game its fantastic however quite awhile ago the shotgun was nerfed to the point where it is just not worth using. I think i speak for everyone when i say please revert the shotgun nerf from ages ago and reduce the overall shotgun spread. You literally have weapons in your game that just are not worth using.
just please fix the shotguns already i really don’t think we are asking a lot and i really don’t think its unreasonable to ask but its been like 6 months of people asking, so there obviously is a problem. Other things we have asked for have been added, fixed or reverted why has this one not been fixed yet ?
Just look at all these threads…so many…i have no words…why has all this been ignored for such a long time ?
Yes, shotguns at their current state are just not worth using. Atleast double barrels. The pump one is a good gun in the hands of an EXTREMELY WELL skilled player. But still they need a buff
Make double barrels even usable by engineers again. Why was that removed? In Berlin CBT engineers had shotguns, and since they were good you could actually kill people with them
As it is now I never even consider taking a shotgun and therefore never use the secondary weapon slot. More ammo for SMGs beats any worthless nerf hammered shotgun. Every bronze order I use and get a shotgun is a waste just like all the mortars and flamethrowers
Wow, that’s a lot of threads, and nothing done, in all this time? hmm
if they haven’t fixed this by now, on previous form, cant see it being fixed, they just give another event to take your thoughts off the subject.
The game has a lot of assets that could work just fine but are made irrelevant. Shotgun is one of them, but so are grenades except one variety, mines and most of squads (especially after economic reform). So yes, shotguns could be used by many classes and be fun. I am sure devs know it. Apparently it is not of any priority to them.
thats the way leveling works every time u unlock some thing new it makes some thing useless semis to bolt and mg to semis thats the nature of the beast if you have leveling system
I fail to see how it is relevant to my examples. Shotguns are not replaced by SMG, in fact, they appear after SMGs and are immediately useless.
Explosive packs indeed are not immediately available but hardly were or should be designed to replace everything else. Tier 2 and 3 soldiers with rare exceptions are immediately useless, the only important things are their weapons.
New models of weapons do make previous models obsolete - but it should not happen to classes of weapons, like shotguns, which would work fine as secondary weapon if they were not locked to assaulters.
I’d argue that it’s still worth taking the shotguns as secondaries playing Allies on Normandy before unlocking the Thompson because the Grease gun lacks the room clearing ability of the other smg’s. Or at least until unlocking the Lanchester, if you are the kind of person to like that gun.
