DB-12 Is undercooked and shotguns are being unfairly persecuted
The Db-12 is horrifically underpowered and the shotguns are in a bad place balance wise atm.
Now i understand the COD children with their M4A1's couldn't beat a shotgun up close in the beta but the Nerf on launch wasnt enough and now its too much and the DB-12 is the biggest victim of that.
ALL of the other weapons in the game can compete at the long to mid range so why is it that at within 10 meters the shotguns cant have the performance they should? Us shotgun players have to STRUGGLE to get into our combat range across maps that are a laser beams paradise but the moment we get up close 9/10 we get sprayed down by people we had the drop on due to a silly RNG "balance" decision.
And now to add insult to injury the new DB-12 cant even kill at point blank with 1 shot because it only has a potential max 80 damage & i say potential because the shotgun rng is liable to give you anywhere from 7-80.
Conventional game wisdom is Pump actions are more powerful but this thing is garbage, slap that thing up to 100 damage and give us 75% of our beta range back, shotguns do not need brainless COD balancing when our maps DWARF thiers.
If we are inside the same room as our target one shot should kill, if you dont like that then maybe you shouldnt have let us shotgun mains get close to you in the first place and BELEIVE me thats not hard on 90% of the maps.
In short Fix the **bleep** shotguns and give us a fighting chance in the world of ads/steady/range finder sniper builds, M4a1/Kord build tiktok children and SMG's that behave like DMR's
Justice for Shotguns........and gimme my dang frag rounds.......i miss my Spasfrg
