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?
-
Don't jump in the air, that's the point at which most phantom bullets occur. Don't get too close either.

1 AntwortenIt seems the Universal Remote and Party Crasher +1 are the only shotguns left that actually work. Even my Patch-A jams often.
-
Happens to me too. Not VERY often but enough to annoy :/
-
I have a max range Conspiracy theory D and about 1 in 5 shots doesnt seem to register at all, other than that if at close range its usually a one shot kill. point blank range. Actually at about ten feet it seems to do about half damage now that you mention it.
-
I feel its more of a connection issue, for me some matches I'm 1 shotting from 12 feet out, next match it takes 2 shells and a knife to get them down from 3 feet out.

Shotguns are still effective but their is a huge issue with phantom bullets and weird spacing issues. On top of shotties just "jamming" for lack of a better term. Sometimes ill press the trigger, nothing happens then I get killed Theres been an issue with headshots close range.

3 AntwortenDude shotguns are op just git gud :/
-
I have been in situations where it shows impact on the enemy but the bullets land on the wall behind them or on the floor.
-
Seems to be a reoccurring issue by looking at the forums and bugs and gameplay categories of the forums, anyone who says anything different just because they haven't experie,ced the issues yet don't mean squat. Just like how it used to be every iron banner for nearly 2 years thousands couldn't stay connected and were booted from the game world....and yet everyone claimed nothing was wrong because they were playing fine....obviously they just don't understand game bugs and online gaming

I never get phantom bullets. You are either to far away or you are missing
-
Yep. Shotguns get x2 the ghost rounds as handcannons.
-
The phantom bullets are what I have an issue with.
-
It's a consistency issue that also affects hand cannons

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von OTlSd: 8/19/2016 8:31:55 PMYes, I have noticed it more when the target is closer to you . Almost like the shot glitches through , it will use a round , it will show an impact on the ground or wall but it seems to travel through the target. Could be lag though .

4 AntwortenShotguns are simply an inconsistent weapon based on playing an inconsistent game. Very noticeable in this weapon archetype because of the one hit kill scenario. When lag, connection, etc etc factors into the gameplay like it does in Destiny you will notice discrepancies in how a weapon performs. Destiny PVP sadly remains broken. It is unfixable otherwise the developer would of done something by now.

Yup I noticed it a few weeks ago, now you have to be up there ass to get a one shot kill
-
Yup I was enjoying the 2 to the morgue but it got to be just way too flaky in performance so it is back to the constipation D for me. Game is such a mess. They keep screwing with stuff and only tell us about half of it.
-
It's not just you. I have had the same issue very often, and a lot of other people have as well.
-
Still getting 1 shot killed from way to far away......can I play your game?
-
4 AntwortenThey need to buff shotguns, add more range to them, bring back shot package and add regeneration ammo on all shotties. Oh oh! And nerf all snipers.
-
you shotty than melee or switch to primary if they dont die.
-
I think that they feel more awkward now. They used to feel good, but now they feel clumsy.

12 AntwortenAm I the only one here who can't kill anyone with a shotgun period?

3 AntwortenBeen doing as much IB as I can between work this week. Like you, I dunno if it's a connection thing or what, but several, several times at least, I've point blanked someone in the face on my screen with conspiracy theory D - which always did the job before - only to see them walk away from it to gun me down while I'm still like, "wait wut??" Seems like the range isn't there either. Seriously considering another strat or weapon for close encounters.

2 AntwortenJust yesterday I shotgunned a guy point blank in the head, it gave me critical damage shots, and the guy killed me and just went on his merry way....

Bearbeitet von zxionisus: 8/19/2016 8:06:00 PMI honestly have always had a problem with shotguns. I had a year one Felwinters Lie with Shot Package and Range Finder pre-nerf. It still wouldn't kill people past 5 feet. I had a similar Matadore. Same thing. I think it's just me. I suck so bad I negate weapon perks. The biggest problem I have now is the gun won't shoot. There is nothing more frustrating in this game than pulling the trigger two to three times in rapid succession and nothing happens. I can only imagine what the enemy guardian is thinking as I stand there pointing my shotgun at them for three seconds.
