Shotguns Need Balancing

[Marco]

Shotguns have always been a part of Gunz and this server and everyone has become accustomed to it.

Nerfing or changing them would cause an uproar.

So played another day and still stick to the same assessment..

RoF is too high (regardless of a server's perks, in any game mode a person can exploit weapons switching to negate the long delay on this gun)

It's spread is too tight at range (I got headshots from clear across dojo)
It's effective damage is too high If sniper can't kill 1 shot body shot pb behind a person neither should a shotgun...

If you wanted a shotgun game you got it, if you want a balanced game then this has got to change till you see people pick up other weapons again.

Its meta man. Cmon. Lol.

A few things to note. RoF...well thats RS for you and that will never go away. Room tags just exasperate that issue.

Everyone has a different view of the magical range where the spread is too tight. Needless to say, headshots are no differrent from body shots on a shotgun. They do exactly the same hp/ap damage.

Also it takes more than 1 pb with a shotgun to kill someone with full hp/ap.

Regardless. We have no plans to change these in the near future. Look forward to something "coming soon™" though.

Dunno why u guys think the server is unbalanced, maybe u suck or smth..

I play with REVS and alot of people are playing with SPRAYS.

Ofcourse shotguns will be the strongest weapon since 95% of the people playing k-style. Weapons are pretty balanced tbh.

Quit crying, get good at the game or just leave.

Great attitude.

Why not just remove all the other weapons that aren't K-Style or Shotgun related? Since there's no point to using them...

In V8 re-balancing will occur on all weapons, no details yet because those aren't finalized. However there was a discussion about shotguns quite some time ago and that feedback was taken into account and planned weapon stats have been made for shotguns already. As far as the great sword, i mentioned in another post we will be adding a special attack and possibly another mechanic.
