At this point, I have every gun in the game, and after finally getting a 4 slot shotgun, all I can say is that it really really sucks
The fire rate is extremely bad, and the damage sucks, you have to be practically next to a zombie to kill them in one shot
And the reloading is kinda cheap since its the same animation of reloading 4 shells even if you only fired one shell
Yea, i think personally the spread on it is just too wide and yea the damage could probably be increased too. We'll go over the shotgun's stats after we get the massive new level integrated and can get back into game-play programming.
Also we're going to be replacing all the weapon models eventually. When that happens we'll be adding in individual shell reload animations, or it may use a clip instead.
It's decent. Instant kills are fairly easy to pull off, although you have to be rather close. And if one's not enough you can shoot again before the zombie reaches you.
Still it's a very unimpressive weapon. What I'd like to see is a more accurate realistic shotgun, with the option of slugs. I believe shotguns don't have to be scattercannons anymore since distances in games are no longer so short.

Eh, you get hit atleast once if either you miss or the spread fucks you over since you have to be so close to do even moderate damage
Its only really good for when a zombie comes around a corner and you panic shoot it
Really? I think the shotgun is extremely powerful as it is. You can 1 shot zombies easily.

Its still worse than the pistol though because its amazingly random if its a oneshot or not, pistol can oneshot from all ranges with a 100% chance
Agreed on the shotgun. Takes three shots center mass to take down a zombie at close range.
Not a step up from the pistol at ALL, in fact worse in some regards, because with a pistol you can get reliable headshots on stationary targets.
It needs more pellets. 4 pellets is far too little.
It's okay that it's worse if ammo is commonplace or easy to craft.
It'd make sense if basic shotgun shells were the only type of ammo you could craft with just unrefined metal and without tools.
Give it a try now guys, I doubled the pellets and increased the scatter
well, as far as i can tell i like the spread. the shotgun is in the class it should be "Close quarters weapon". you know as it should be lol. good a short to mid range aim for the head and drop whatevers on your dot in in your sights. has power but isnt Over powered and isnt a sniper shotty. does what its supposed to and does it well when used right.
