Shotguns as they were.. literally no point them being in the game. They were worse than useless. Now they’re useable. That’s it. Useable. They’re far from op.
Echelon is probably the best shotgun map in the game. I don't think they're a problem. They finally feel like shotguns. You likely would have had a similar game with an smg. We need to wait to see if the meta gravitates towards more shotgun players. If it does (doubt it will) then maybe they were made too strong. Time will tell.
I wouldn't say Shotguns are busted or OP, but they are in a better place they were in before. Shotguns still limit your mobility and do not provide bonus headshot damage.. if they were to reduce the spread debuffs from jumping, sliding and mantling and give them bonus headshot damage, they would be perfect.
@@CaffreyPlays I did read the patch notes, and there is nothing in there about increasing the mobility of shotguns, only their range. If you jump, mantle, or slide, your 1 shot KO will turn into a 3+ shot KO unless you are literally hugging them. That needs to be addressed still, they also do not deal additional damage when pellets hit the head, this also needs to be addressed. These changes do not make them OP/busted, these changes make them usable whereas before they were highly inconsistent.
@@RespectTheFlag--X dude the first thing listed is an increase to both short and medium range as well as tightening the spread. I know for a fact you didn't look at the patch notes
@@CaffreyPlays That wasn't talking about the additional spread you receive from jumping or sliding. I did read the patch notes, I think you are confused on what I'm talking about.
@@CaffreyPlays just wanted ask play the new cod our skip this one this year our just playing xdefiant I like our xdefiant video better I would like play one game with some time
It depends on your attachments and target range, point blank - 5m hipfire will work, beyond that and i would begin to ADS. Personally I love the Pistol Grip, Chrome barrel and still deciding if I like the muzzle booster or range extender more, both are great choices.
@@CaffreyPlays you can feel the difference in your game when you switch from any other weapon, anyone who genuinely thinks it’s a good balance point is delusional, pick one up and your game is on easy mode
@@jasonadersonwedion9874 it's confirmed they are way OP... And I do fine. Usually 50-10. It's always the bots that like the shotgun meta... Looking at you... 👉
Before the last patch was rare to see someone use a shotgun but now this class became a Cancer to the community!!! We have to deal with The OP Snipers but now with a close 'range' sniper too!! ( Here's comes the low/no skill gap players comment get gud/skill issue🤡🤦🏻♂️) Even after the video show it soo clear they are busted!!
I agree the shotguns needed some buffing, but I do believe they went a bit overboard with the range. I’m get smoked from midrange, one shot, done. When the range is like this in my opinion it lowers the skill gap too far. I get they wanted to be a more casual game but this is making it too easy to get a kill. Just my opinion it shouldn’t be that easy to pull the trigger once to get a kill
@@jasonadersonwedion9874 oh I’m more than fine. I’m just stating that to pull the trigger once from mid range takes less skill. If you’re only response is get good, you really got nothing for me
@@CaffreyPlays The range is fine, nerf the range and they'll go right back to being nearly unusable. You ain't gotta be the fun police. Have you ever worked with game theory before? I have, and no offense but you don't know what you're talking about.
