Wtf has been done to shotguns?
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?

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

1 ReplyThe Damage Referee might have been tweaked since they've been changing the Matchmaking settings recently.

I noticed I half health ed people in iron banner with the new shotgun from point blank. I about deleted my Titan again.

Sidearms are for cleanup and fusion rifles are nearly unusable (coming from a guy who mained a fusion rifle all of Y1). Shotguns are fine. Try meleeing after you shoot. Shotgun/melee is like PB&J in this game.
-
Just very inconsistent at the min.
-
Shotguns to me don't seem to be getting weaker, they still seem the same
-
I got a party crasher with life support and underdog. With rifled barrel. So yeah, it's double and triple kills with it. But, I wish it had rescue mag like my other one lol. Underdog on a shotgun makes it have better range than a conspiracy theory d with rangefinder.

1 ReplyIt feels like they ninja nerfed shotgun in-air accuracy in the June Update. But that might be just me.

Fusions, hand cannons and shotguns are not performing like they're supposed to. It's really frustrating

Enemy Shotguns - kill me from Handcannon range - kill me instantly in the foot. -I shoot him, he takes no damage, he shoots and I insta die, then he magically loses about 25℅ health. - I shoot him from point-blank, get nothing, he jumps away almost 3x the distance and 1 bangs me. All these were done with me either using the "god" conspiracy theory everyone got from the Vanguard Quest or the Uni Remo. Also, everyone who kills me is using those exact guns as well. My only conclusion.. My shotguns dmg gets turned off or scaled down to "marshmallow" whenever i shoot someone.

I was mucking around on my defender using two to the morgue shot my friend at point blank did nothing
-
For one, I think it's because of all the nerf to shotgun range, as well as their inconsistent number of pellets. You literally have to be in their face to get a kill sometimes.
-
2 RepliesIdk, I use invective so I just aim in the general direction and hold the trigger. Usually that gets me a kill
-
I shot someone with invective while I was literally touching them and all it did was take out their sheilds

1 ReplyThe only fix is switching to universal remote if IB clash is an indicator
-
14 RepliesI agree. Shotguns are super inconsistent

7 RepliesEdited by AiusDifk: 8/20/2016 1:31:42 AMShotguns are fine I used to be a sniper, then a shotgun user. Now i'm using fusions. variety is a good thing Try using a sidearm or a fusion(not plan c) and make a post about how useless are they too.
-
I've had an issue with hits not registering as what they should be. Hitting someone in the face at melee range should kill, right? My party crasher is has pretty good range and perks, just performs different.
-
I've noticed it too
-
I've noticed it, even said "How in the hell did he live through that?" a few times lately. However, I'd attribute the inconsistency to latency and lag compensation in the game. They work [i]most[/i] of the time.
-
Shotguns are fine. You should see these people in my lobby sniping with shotguns.
-
Welcome to my past month lol
-
Glad there are others that notice this, firing a shot from an arm reach while ads and I know all those pellets connected and opponent would live through it and some time not taking no damage at all. I am using a Party Crasher+1 with Range finder and Rifle barrel. So it is not cause by using a low impact, missing or not aiming.
-
Nope, still getting blasted non-stop by them in IB
-
Every time i use a shotgun in trials i end up 1v3ing
-
Nope. Actually quite the opposite. Things can snipe bro.
