Shotguns are a still a joke and how to fix them and make them much more effective :)

----Shotguns are still quite bad----

So a long long time ago the dev’s decided i know lets nerf something that doesn’t need nerfing thus shortly after this insane notion and 12 bottles of vodka the shotguns were sadly nerfed too the point where they were about as potent as a nerf gun.

However after 6 + months and after god knows how many threads asking the developers to revert the shotguns so they are actually good again. So they “buffed” them however even after this buff i still can not help notice that especially the double barrels are still rather shite. Personally i think they were a lot better pre nerf 6+ months ago.

Can we get an actual revert to what they were like all the way back then ?

----What to do with the double barrel shotguns----

First I think they should be a universal weapon available to all classes not just the assaulter class.

Second please revert the shotguns to what they were like way back when they were actually good and decrease the spread slightly and then perhaps increase the damage abit.

Thirdly make it so they can actually zoom in because the shotgun isn’t just a super close range weapon you should be able to reach out and touch people with it at certain ranges.

Lastly the shotguns are fun yes however there just not really worth using currently sadly. If i hit someone at say 60 yards with these double barrel hunting shotguns they should die. But they don’t they shouldn’t just be a weapon you can use at really close range.

They should make them kill not down people, just like the new bolt action buff. Shotguns are weapons which tear out chunks of people, a medkit is not going to fix that.

I definitely agree that they need to be buffed, you should be scared of someone holding a shotgun and not the opposite.

I just want them to actually be usable at medium to long range ish not so much sitting at the back of the map sniping with them.

Because at the moment there’s not much point to using them you may as well take a submachine gun.

Shotguns are only good if you have them on the max level and aim in the enemy torso.

COD snipe?, Do you realize that CoD’s shotguns have an effective range of like 6m max, while real shotguns will kill very easily up to 35m with some having enough accuracy and power to kill up to 90m, if 1 or 2 pellets land on the target?.
And that is with 00 buck shot, you can get more range with some slugs

We used a 410 shotgun with rifled slugs on a hunting trip in place of a 243. May aswell be a sniper rifle, bloody effective.

Ever played the 720 in Modern Warfare?
Regarding rl ot depends on calibre, barrel, muzzle and ammo type I guess.
