I stopped using shotguns after finding at <2M range that they would injure the enemy whilst I would be killed.

Fixed – Sidearm recoil is higher than desired, and accuracy is lower than desired.

The most success I've had with one is on valk. If I have an idea of where the enemy is she's fast enough to rush them, and with the shotgun you only need to kind of be aiming at their head. I do wish their fall off wasn't so harsh

Will Shotguns ever be more accurate? I have a love hate with the them. You can shoot to people in the face from the same distance and one will die, the other will be unscathed I'm not looking for Doom levels of shotgun pwnage, but it seems like they need a tweek .

Unless you're physically touching someone the Mira/Jackal shotgun will not kill them. It won't even reliably blow apart trap doors, which is basically its main purpose.

It's okay, we don't consider you Canadians anyways. It's kind of like how Americans differentiate the south.

Also shortened ranked rounds is still the worst. Running and hiding to run out the timer shouldn't be a common tactic.

I had a match today where I opened the double door entrance on Coastline (the one by the sports car) and took down an Ash standing behind the armored car. I had Valk's shotgun and was actually surprised it did anything at that range. So yeah, Valk's shotgun is still pretty good.

I had a bad moment today (within the last hour). Getting shot randomly by teammates at round opening, even TK'ed at one point. Round four starts (defense), and I'm instantly shot again. I just lost it. TKed whom I thought it was and quit.

I try to be pretty chill, was even trying to be cool about it over chat in the rounds prior to this, but I just lost it. Yeah, they were dicks and I shouldn't have engaged. I'm so sorry guys. Hard, your game is too good and I got too involved. Fix your game. :sigh:

@Hard: Can you kindly suggest to the dev team that they make the intentional TK detection much more stringent and simply offer the person TKed the option of kicking them or not? A "kick and report" option would be great too. Thanks.

I had a round a few days ago where someone was picking Caveira and using her pistol to intentionally down teammates during setup without killing them, then when someone TKed them in retaliation THEY got banned. So yeah, it should probably check for that, too.

If I get intentionally teamkilled I will in the next round kill any of their squad mates I can identify(by name or otherwise) and try to force them to teamkill me again, thereby getting them kicked.
I will also pretend to be cool with it at the start of the round to see what damage I can cause.

Does the new map have slightly lower ceilings than all the others,? Because I've now seen multiple times kills via breach charges from the top floor down to the lower floor, which I can only recall ever happening once before on any other map. I think the victim was tachanka in most cases too so maybe sitting on the turret elevates you too? Just something I've noticed happening this patch.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Same. I actually was asked to stop using the shotgun by another player because I was killing him every round as Smoke.
I probably would have if he had actually phrased it as a request and not as "sdoots pls" and "sdoots no shotgun pls' but such is life.

Two nights ago I had the weirdest match of this so far. Myself and my pal got in a game on whatever the map is that IQ's situation takes place on (Oregon?).
The round begins, and pretty quickly someone calls out "they have three shields". I figure he means Blitz, Montagne, and Fuze.

He had his count wrong. They had five shields, and they were all recruits.

We had plenty of nitro cells and a Smoke, so they went down pretty fast, but it was still one of the dumbest things I'd seen in Siege. The next round, we figured they'd pick some obnoxious composition as well, and sure enough, they met our expectations with flying colors. They had a Bandit, a Jager, a Mute, a Echo, and a Tachanka. It was a perfect storm of poo poo that'd get on your nerves as an attacker.

This was how the match played out. They'd use some weird gimmick one round, then an obnoxious one the next. They lost, but it wasn't a very fun game either way.

Pistols are split up into two groups, low damage + more bullets and high damage + fewer bullets.

You want more bullets if you tend to hipfire while praying for headshots, otherwise go for higher per-shot damage.

Is Fuze's LMG pretty viable? I actually have yet to use it, choosing his AK or shield instead. I figured it would be inaccurate or heavy on recoil. But I have recently watched some killcams of Fuze destroying me with it, so should I switch?

Fuze LMG is one of those weird ones where the best barrel attachment is the suppressor, which negates the pants-making GBS threads factor.

I want pistol sights if only so actually ADS the revolver will be remotely accurate; the irons are pretty awful.
