@Peri_Longbow_plz Yeah the Mastiff can be brutally unfair early game good point.

A half missed shot is worthless though. If a shotgun user hits you with a low damage shot at close range you should push hard. That's always worked for me at least.

I'm not sure why people consider the measly 13-52 damage from a missed/low damage shot to matter.

@Zamaha400 Every bit of damage matters. I would assume you don't hit 100%, otherwise you'd be champion of the arena 24/7. My accuracy is about 25%. If I had to put a number out. But even if just 1/4 bullets hit, it's still damage.

    @Peri_Longbow_plz Mastiff kills in 2-3 hits. Graze your enemy twice in a fight and it still takes 2-3 more hits to kill.

    A little bit of damage helps if you plan on switching to another gun but it doesn't shorten the TTK for the Mastiff.

      @Zamaha400 You are basically saying that missing your shots is a bad idea. Take a guess on what thing you shouldn't do when using any weapon. The point is, your point is invalid.

      Mastiff has quite a large damage output. It's easy to obtain as well, and also pretty easy to one-hit kill several people in the beginning. Get your hands on a Mastiff, do a bit of aiming, and you can rack up kills like it's no problem. And yes, I've done it, multiple times. No weapon comes remotely close to the Mastiff performance-wise. Yes, snipers are also capable of one-hit killing, but those require straight up headshots, which is a skill in itself. Pointing your aim at someone's chest however is not, especially if they're at point-blank.

        @Peri_Longbow_plz An oversimplification that disproves nothing. I don't mind missing a few shots with a havoc at close range because my target wilI likely die before I run out of ammo. Missing A single shot with the Mozambique can be a death sentence.

        I've also agreed with you about how strong the Mastiff can be early game so repeating that is pointless. 

        There is a simple way to disprove my point by using actual numbers but I'm working so can't check it or explain at the moment.

        If I'm wrong then TTK is key to proving that.
