Before I get anyone saying get good or shotguns are op trust me I know how shotguns work in this game I know how to use them well.
But over the last while I've noticed a difference in them in the way they perform. I Dono if it's something to do with bungie getting ready for the new update or if it's something on my end connection wise but recently I've felt like shotguns aren't doing their job it feels like they've been nerfed again. Players taking 2 shots to die and sometimes living through 2 shots even at distances where one shot should've done the job. Sometimes it feels like phantom shotty shots like last word when you KNOW you're hitting but either no damage or a tiny fraction of the damage expected and deserved comes out of it.
Is it just me or has anybody else noticed this?

That's one alot of shotguns it happens to me unless your right up in there face the one shot didn't work or if your like me you are that close an it still doesn't work then it's everyone lagging out cause they can't play fair an it takes 30 seconds after two fact for it to take effect after you have e already been shot.

1 RespuestaI have this strange feeling that they went handcanon : shots not registering... Happens all the time.

Editado por DoubleBodyShot: 8/20/2016 2:12:29 PMThey're doing no damage or less damage because the enemy isn't where he appears to be. Bad connections are always teleporting but on their screen they're moving fluidly and don't usually ever see the problem. You don't necessarily need to be teleporting around to have a bad connection, though. This means two players can appear to be in the same location when the net code registers them being in different positions. So if the enemy is maybe in reality a step to the right or left you may deal less damage than normal or if the enemy's position in reality is even further away, you'll deal no damage. I hate this as much as anyone else. Being wired in, a fast upload speed and regions for matchmaking all contribute to this. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do on the match making side. Edit: note that a bad connection is not always complimented by a redbar on the connections roster.

I have noticed, this and shoulder charge feel like they have suffered a ninja nerf.

i've noticed the same thing. it's almost like ghost bullets on a few shots. it doesn't happen too often for me, but when it does, it's nothing too detrimental, other than losing a gun fight i'd generally win. but i just respawn and hustle my little guardian butt back over to the encounter and kill him from behind :)

1 RespuestaEditado por Powermix24: 8/20/2016 8:17:41 AMThey did something to the shotguns , i point blank shot somebody right at their chest and 0 damage is taken . Bungie loves to troll us , while Universal remote one shots you from 20 feet away.............. 200 down / 20 up on a 16 ms ping to my nearest server , no packets lost , a+ connection according to pingtest.net I live in Texas ..... before someone tells me "hey bro it's llagg on your end " type ignorant shit

1 RespuestaI see one post saying how shotguns suck, and an other on how they are too OP. I think this bitching just needs to stop.
-
Yeeeeahhh... Ive been shooting pillows for awhile now.
-
I believe a point blank shot to the body should damage a foes shield at the very least, but I may be asking for too much. Invective is a squirtgun.
-
Iron bananas always seems like that ... compared to crucible.

2 RespuestasSame here. I have plenty of videos with my 'Her Champion' barely hurting someone as I'm ADSing from a few feet out. With rangefinder no less. It's weird.

Editado por Warpriest8315: 8/20/2016 6:11:04 AMShotguns seem remarkably inconsistent now. It feels like you have to be physically touching opponents to net a kill regardless of range.
-
2 RespuestasI think it's just your shotgun, because I still get one shotted by shottys all the time.
-
I noticed it to I'm not the only one.
-
They did a stealth nerf.
-
-
3 RespuestasI have noticed it as well. There have been many encounters that I should have won, but am often left wondering what just happened. Point blank shotty follow up with a melee and they are not dead? I almost feel as if there was a stealth range nerf or something. I have gotten so many assists most of my games this iron banner. Something seems way off not just my shotty but other weapons as well, especially pulse rifles.

3 RespuestasGet great skrub
-
it's lag.
-
I haven't noticed anything really, and I only don't shotgun 1 match out of 10
-
it's just you.
-
I use invective, it will only 1 shot if you are chest to chest and/or the enemy has less than max armor. Otherwise it's a 2 shot. Everything is running smoothly on my end. Maybe you're lagging?
-
My Deidris Retort has been behaving well today, I have not had any inconsistency with it. I hope they weren't nerfed.
-
I use matador for normal crucible and part crasher for iron banner and trials. I have to agree with you. They're really inconsistent and the only consistent shotgun is universal remote. That's why it's called op by many players.
-
I've been having trouble with missed shotgun shots. Like directly in my crosshairs, but not a single pellet hits. I just really on my primary more than anything now

They nerf shotgun n remove some perks long ago look at your radar lol.
