Also, WTF is up with Shotguns now. They suck.

@Helkath-Hazzurim 

Chill a little it is just a game. We all have bad days aiming sometimes. Get good. The firing range is your friend. 

I think you have a fair point. Shotguns being so unreliable. At first I thought you were going to talk about mastiff or eva, because my experience with peacekeeper is, that it's either 9-11dmg or 50-100. Even the best of the best know not to underesitmate a lousy player wielding a peacekeeper. I wouldn't say his aim was off in that video. Getting some of the PK's charge in and enemies being the center of the crosshairs. I'd be upset as aswell. 

@Helkath-HazzurimShotguns are rigged like many other mechanics in this game to increase the tension in fights and even them out. If you have more shield its increasingly probable that you get these low damage hits with shotguns. The spread is rigged.

Its made like this to create fights more exciting and give the player with less shield or health a chance and especially if you attack with more shield than the enemy.

Shotguns don't suck, people suck with shotguns. Every time one of these threads pop up, it's always the same story. Either folks are missing their shots with them or their too far away.

Check the Mozambique... it shreds. Every landed shot to the body is 45 dmg. Also You can do this damage over the longer distance than with other shotguns!

Go to fire range and do some practice, You probably won't pick up any other shotgun after that.

@Helkath-HazzurimDidn't you know you can simply strafe to the side faster than a bullet travels? It's common knowledge. 400m/s shotgun or pistol? Easy, just walk to the left 2 inches, it'll miss! 1500m/s rifle? No worries! Just duck, you'll have time!

I'm just saying I shouldn't have to lead my target when they are that close.

If the bullet travels 400 m/s, and they are 6 m away (pretty reasonable for a shotgun), then it will only take the bullet 0.015 seconds to reach them. If they are moving at 3 m/s, then they only move 4.5 cm in the time it takes for the bullet to leave the gun and reach them. You don’t need to lead them in shotgun range. The only reason you might need to is due to bad servers. Not the bullet velocity.
