Shotguns broken, bloom broken, progression is slow.

the bloom isnt bugged mate. ea and dice have made it worse since beta, and at the beta it was terrible. they need to get rid of it altogether. just remember, dice and ea implemented bullet bloom which dictates in real time who wins a fire fight. its now some sort of sbmm mechanic i believe  . it being worse for better players. its so unsatisfying watching your shots fly out like a bbgun in the wind

Its a shame sammcool. Battlefield 6 does everything right except the most important part, the gunplay.

Its airsoft.

I shouldnt have to go play an unofficial hardcore server.

Real vanilla should be in between what current vanilla and hardcore is like.

Please revert the increased ADS bullet spread, Battlefield Studios.

It has to be bugged, like 80% of my shots miss when im aiming directly on target. ESPECIALLY in vehicles. The beta bloom was near non existent and was very smooth and fluid. 

Yes please fix shotguns i should be getting one shot from 100m away that dont make sense 

If shotguns are overpowered then what are SMGs? A hipfired SMG will out perform the shotguns in every case. They will also out perform most other guns in ADS as well. 

Shotguns are in no way, shape, or form overpowered. They are DRASTICALLY under powered, especially slugs at longer rages past 40m. Shotguns should be the short range king and yet get outperformed by most other weapons. 

Also if you are getting killed in one shot over 40m then you are not at full health

No shotgun can one shot you from 100m

its not a bug mate. they like to say its a bug so they can just tone it down a bit and then they will say they have "fixed" the bug. they have just made it so bad and need to get rid of it.

After unlocking all 3 shotguns, I can say that the M87A1 and the M1014 are both drastically overpowered with Slugs though they definitely aren't 1 shoting at 40m. Just pop into the firing range and you'll find that ADS with slugs fires with no bloom or spread whatsoever. You can instantly 2 tap the farthest target. That's why they are so broken right now. They are more accurate than every non-sniper in the game when ADS while also being a 1 shot kill in closer ranges. 

I suspect the issue is the slugs in ADS are being treated like bullets and not like buckshot as far as possible spread is concerned. So single shots are going to be near laser accurate instead of how most games handle it where the bullets have a radius they could go instead of straight every time to balance them at ranges

Combine this with the multitude of bloom bugs for the other guns in the game (devs confirmed at least 2) and no wonder shotguns are dominating the game right now.

Now if you want to build them hip fire, they're pretty terrible, even at very close ranges, I'll give in on that. 

they one shot every person, even from 40m away. 

There is no shotgun that can one shot at 40 meters away with the default ammo. Even the shotgun with the best range loses its ability to one-shot at around 15 meters. I haven't seen the statistics for slug rounds yet though. I can't imagine slugs are able to one-shot you at that range, with the exception of it being a headshot. If you get headshot with a slug, it would be no different than getting headshot by a sniper rifle. In other words, you just got dunked on.

you cant aim accurately at all since the mechanic is based off of RNG. 

Spread (Bloom) can be compensated using burst or tap fire. It isn't entirely RNG, the rate at which it increases or decreases are set. So as long as you find the correct cadence to burst, you should be completely fine. I'll grant you that the current implementation is very heavy on spread and that they should reduce it.

 80% of players just use shotguns

While 80% is heavily exaggerated, there were temporarily more players using a shotgun, because of people doing the challenge and because the weapon sling is the first gadget you unlock. It is significantly less now.

There is no shotgun that can one shot at 40 meters away with the default ammo. Even the shotgun with the best range loses its ability to one-shot at around 15 meters

Slugs are 1 shot just short of 20m and 2 shot at least out to 70m
