I don`t record my game, so its hard to give you a clip. And i don`t play shootgun and Mastiff esp. much.

But you can always try it at the firing range. D:


But i watch a lot of pro streamers and a some of them are using it for exactly that. Got to find the game with Hal where he was shooting from a range with Mastiff  one of the players and him him with 52 damage from a huge distance.

But yeah Mastiff is doing too much damage in close range and too much of a damage in kinda let said it SMG/medium range.

Its not the exact videos i was watching with Hal, but this is a good example too:
Look at 3:99:

Also 3:32, in the same video. Should you be able to still do such a damage on such distance ?

Same video, 6:08 he hit for 39 with half of his shots actually hit the target for a big distance. He literally finish all of them from a long range with the Mastiff.

Try to do this with Eva8 all you will got will be 8 damage at best if you manage to even hit them ....


The other problem with the mastiff is that is the best weapon for downed enemy,. you one shoot them ....

In this video at 4:01, he is doing 55, 66, 55 damage to Gibralter(he got fortified) in a SMG range situation, where shootgun damage should not be that massive.

Esp when it shoot that fast.

I think the problem is that mastiff has a strange bullet hitbox.
With the video that AOD given above, I found difficulties to understand "Why it hits even it seems it doesn't hit on screen"
Like the video that the man shoots at someone who is half behind the door, although the distance between them are not too far, the door blocks some of the bullet and yet, it still landed half of the bullets (4) even though some of them are missed (not blocked by door, but simply the spread is large that they missed). Maybe this is the problem that makes it too powerful that it damages people even it seemed to be missed.
