    And wow, the game is so much easier. Thanks SONY for making such an amazing run and gun weapon. Getting K/D ratios of like 20/4 or something crazy like that. I was never able to do that with any of the auto rifles.

    So if anyone is having a hard time keeping a good k/d ratio then get the auto rifle. It makes a world of difference.

    Would you like some purple drank?

    Auto shotty with scope and slugs out snipes snipers.
    And with regular ammo is awesome in CQC.

    love it.

    You must play VS.

    You should feel bad.

    Auto shotty and shooting people with rocket launchers is no fun :(

    I doubt that. Slugs have damage dropoff just like any other werapon of that sort.

    A VS pump action with slugs and scope can snipe people off the crown from the hill by Crossroads. No bullet drop is a hell of a thing.

    Yeah, for the semis and the auto it's 500@10m - 360@40, for the pumps it's 800@10 - 400@40, which means that 3 shots from an autoshotty are enough to kill a non nanoweave target at any range. It's like a battle rifle, but with good damage and crappy bullet speed.

    You think the current piston/nighthawk thing is good? Much better before all the nerfs.

    "damage dropoff" not bullet drop.
  12. Mythicrose12

    True, but after taking such a shot, I can watch an entire movie before the slug hits a target (if the target didn't move...at all).

    They are nurfing shotguns soon because I really hope they are. They are just too ******* strong.

    Why not both? If I miss with my Decimator I can pull out my auto shotty and spin around desperately hoping to kill you. Of course I also enable my overshield first, don't want to injure myself with the point blank Decimator splash damage.

    yes
    yes, it takes 3 rounds. But with the auto shotty fast reload, once you get the timing down, you can get all 3 rounds going down range by the time the 1st one hits. Often times not allow your target a chance to move. By the time he feels the 1st impact, The next 2 are just about there.

    I also have an auto shotty, but I tend to use other guns more often. I find shotties simply have too little range for me.

    Still f*cking ***** in biolabs and towers though.
