Shotgun problems?
Is it just me or are shotguns now really hit or miss and inconsistent between games? Kills arent kills in some matches and it doesnt kill like it used to in the air, even if youre 2 feet in front of em in midair, no kill but you can take their shields off pretty good. I mean its so aggravating when you just finished a game where you almost every shot is a kill to getting a game where no shot is a kill and i always have to follow up with melee. Did something happen to shotguns in the past month or so that has made them this way ?
-
Just finished a game of iron nana where every single shotgun shot lwft them with melee damage left.
-
shotguns became horrible when they nerfed them, but left snipers as it, when people can kill you close range with them. Witht the range on shotguns you might as well double melee
-
Faster firing shotguns are much better than slower firing ones because you can just spray them
-
Very inconsistent when running around with a shot gun. There are games when my chaperone wrecks and others where it takes 3 shots to get a kill. Very inconsistent.

At sub 300 light level I was able to max out the gunsmith's test shotgun in IB last night and that thing is at 200 LL. Probably more lag or connection issues for most people.
-
A lot of my shots don't simply register even though the target is five feet away and I aim for the torso. I have a really nice PC+1 too :(

-
I feel like year 2 shotties are inconsistent because every time I use my matador. It feels dirty

8 RepliesBasically if you don't use Conspiracy theories or Party Crashers, there's no point. Which is bullshit because I like the high rate of fire low impact ones.
-
I'm using a shotgun for the first time and they seem pretty good. But your right. Some hits aren't being registered properly. What shotgun are you using?
-
Not sure if it has something to do with the damage referee or its just the crap ass lag and hit detection but my shotguns are getting me cheated out of so many kills now. I watch my stream after the fact and I clearly see a direct hit and a melee following and most guardians walk away with full health or only the melee DMG.
-
Yeah shotguns are pretty bad right now
-
They overnerfed shotguns. Plain and simple. It's like the days after suros all over again
-
This problem only started recently too i never had this problem this often a month ago. It must be something bungie did recently to try to "fix" crucible or something.
-
1 ReplyI agree fully. I have had encounters with an enemy running the exact same shottie and we both fire at the exact same time. I know i am aiming for the head yet i die but he has a small amount of health left. Seems something is off with shotties atm.
-
They've been nerfed time and time again. If this trend keeps going, they start popping out a little white flag when you pull the trigger.
-
Its happening to a lot of people, as these replies are suggesting. It certainly happens to me. Sometimes it's a OHKO, at others my shotty tickles them and merely strips their shield, while they return fire and instantly kill me. I think part of the problem is that the range on shotguns used to make up for the difference in latency between players. Now the latency is more accurately felt.
-
Such a shame there's no fix for this nonsense we have to deal with it. Ruined my shotty.
-
It's happening to me more frequently than not, yes. Sometimes even the follow-up melee isn't enough to kill them - but I get double-punched/finished off by whatever weapon they use, eww.
-
Yea, they ruined them. But what do you expect when you have every sniper crying because they're getting blasted while they sit in one spot. Enough whining got them scaled back hard
-
Look at my striker. See that party crasher. Love that party crasher. Get that party crasher. Sometimes for giggles ill grenade myself. Than I have underdog. Party crasher has more range than felwinters lie this way. Obviously id prefer this shotgun with even more obscene, albeit, realistic range at its base. But ill work with what I got thankyou.
-
The community bitched and bitched and now after like 10 nerfs the shotguns are shit...so we won right? Right? I feel like crying.
-
Shotguns are for k7ds and girls anyway
-
That's why I'm running invective this Ib, best way to make sure you get the kill
-
Yup. Shotguns are broken af.
-
*brace for "shotties are 4 scrubs" comments* all the snipe-tards really just want you to stand still and let them Dome you. all this using alternative weapons and designed flanking mechanics to out maneuver their sniping lanes is really pissing them off. Just stand still m'kay?
