This is taking it you’re playing in a good local lobby and on one of the cqb oriented maps. It’s still fcking garbage. Lag can only be an excuse for so long. If I switch to a sniper in the same lobby and then proceed to get ohks constantly unlike with the model 5 feet away, something is up. Lag makes it worse than running around with a pistol on long range maps, a bit of lag will always be present though. All shotguns pre damage are inconstant, most become usable with damage, some still need more tweaks; mainly the model. Aa-12 too, but I don’t care about that spammable pos myself.
A default model is the worst gun in the game hands down. It needs half of its pellets to hit in his 7 meters range (which is laughable, knowing what 7 meters really is in this game), that combined with its horrible accuracy and that slow fire rate means leveling it up is hell. Now a maxed out Model is half decent, but overall too inconstant too, making it balanced aka more constant in his zone would not see people use it a lot, simply because it would still be much easier to use rf smgs cqb, let alone all-round.
I fail to see why they can’t buff it and the spas too CQB. Why should the ksg and usas need 1/3 of their pellets to hit for a kill maxed out cqb but these two harder to use guns 3/8th? It’s especially a problem on the model since it lacks accuracy. The usas has a max damage range of 10 meters, while having a pellet more to kill, tighter spread and being automatic. Makes sense…
The model has a fast damage drop off, so to say it’s the best shotgun on range is nor right nor wrong. Yes, it needs 4 pellets to kill outside its comfort zone maxed out with damage, but it remains inconstant throughout its potential range, hardest shotgun to use all-round do to lack of accuracy (worst spread) and very slow rechamber, meaning you can’t help but die after your first marshmallow pellets cuddle the enemy giving away your position.
The model With damage does 30*1.4 is 42 damage per pellet in his zone and 20 *1.4 is 28 damage after 7 meters. 3 To 4 pellet kill seem great, but not with such laughable accuracy in combo with the current pellet amount, that slow rechamber and a quick damage drop off. A buff is needed. We should not be getting hitmarker shooting centre mass on people in his zone. The game isn’t rewarding good aim with it, lag or not.
I have the spas with damage and can say it’s a very decent shotty with some constancy issues cqb with damage, I believe would get fixed (bar lag & deahtstreaks) with a minor buff (9 pellets for a 3 hit kill cqb like the usas and ksg) as it already has good crosshairs and its maximum range only drops after 10 meters (model after around 7 meters but it has a 4 pellet kill potential on range, spas needing 6 maxed out which seems fair).
I would not mind the model going from 20*1.4 28 max damage on range to 15 * 1.4 is 23 (5 pellet kill with damage). For more constancy in his zone by adding a pellet and tighter 4.5 crosshairs thus a constant 3/5 pellet kill with decent accuracy thus constancy something it now lacks. With the spas staying at 30*1.4= 42 and 14*1.4= 19.5 (6 pellets on range) 3/6 pellet kill, which is fair since it would still have a better max damage range 3 pellet kill and still have tighter crosshairs and attachments available. I would then also Improve the max damage range of the model to at least 9 meters (the usas and spas having 10 meters for instance before dropping their max damage).
As it is model should be a constant 3 pellet kill (3/8, 37.5 % of the body needed for a kill), the problem is that the random pellet generator gets more and more inaccurate every Feet.
Adding another pellet would see good aimed shots generate a lot more kills cqb especially with tighter crosshairs, simply because you will have a better chance of pellets hitting every time you shoot, but only if your aim is good. Atm it’s too luck based, thus the gun is inconstant in its zone even the main problem. People even say it’s OP do to the 4 pellet kill potential on range with damage. Then use it. You won’t because it’s fckin garbage & a nightmare to level up, with the model having the worst spread, most long range kills shotties get are on already hurt players.
I find playing HC btw defeating the purpose of shotguns (ohks cqb and slightly further up the pitch), most autos can kill in 1 shot with 700 plus rpm in HC.
FYI, IW it’s obvious that shotguns should bypass Final stand (on the pump / lever action shotguns) and dead man’s hand (all). You die automatically simply because you play with a gun that requires you to move / position yourself cqb? Retarded.
I have over a 2 KDR with it but I will get those double hitmarker games. Took out 5 people on mission in a couple of seconds last night it was so nasty.
