Post your favorite vidya shotgun.
>>749040646The 'Stiffy gives me a stiffy, but it's the F.E.A.R. shotgun for me.
This with infinite ammo + PROFESSIONALKILLER
Super Shotgun, Doom 2. Never been surpassed.
Underrated.
Any game with an 1887 in it. No I wont say the game in particular because the uncs will shoot me.
Not the best shotgun I've ever used, but it was super satisfying to kill with
why do devs hate shotgun so much bros?
>>749041551multiplayer fags whining about it caused them to be nerfed forever
>>749040646Ol' reliable
>>749041551Because it's a high risk high reward type of weapon. You get in close and deal massive damage but risk getting badly injured.
>>749042016>real world small arms engagement distance up to 500yd>buckshot effective range 50yd>vidya small arms engagement distance up to 100yd>buckshot effective distance 10ydthat is called balance.
>>749040646I like shotguns that look like shotguns. Helps that you can load slugs and knock people off their feet
I will shill for Rising Storm 2 shotguns at every available opportunity, they’re just as lethal as you’d expect from real shotguns. At distance, reliability falls off greatly, but they can still snap kills from surprisingly long distances.Still not OP though, as assault rifles are ultimately the more versatile weapon.
I loved this thing and I loved this game
>>749040646DRG's Boomstick w/ Special Powder.The Halo CE shotgun and stock TF2 shotgun each deserve an honorable mention.
I still find it funny that the in game price is like 4 times more expensive than what you’d have to pay for a real one.
If you wanted to speedrun getting called a nigger, this was your choice.
>>749042197That's not how they work as a real weapon though. It's total bullshit and just plain bad design.
All of the pump action shotguns in planetside 2 feel fucking great to use.
>>749042564We aren't playing real life and you not being good enough to close the gap is the only thing bad about it
The 7 Days to Die auto shotgun with AP slugs>Shoot into a line of zombies>It knocks all of them down at once
>>749040646for me its the AA12closely followed by the double barrel/hunting shotgun
>>749042197>You get in closeI still hate this. It's just a worse melee weapon at that point.
>>749040646I dig the look of Synthetik's guns, even if they are just PNGs.
>>749040646you already posted it the supershotgun in any of the three nudoom games comes pretty close
>>749041273This is it for me, but the one from Eternal was pretty fun too
>>749043354it's probably the weakest ssg of the three nudoom games on its own but the sound is SO good
>>749040646The Sweeper from Helldivers, because sticking a bayonet on a shotgun is goated
only fps i can think of where the shotgun is /the/ top tier power weapon of the game
>>749040646>intended for boarding operations>weapon is long as fuckDoes look cool still
I've always liked the gow gnasher, even the name is cool
>>749042186Why is Half-Life one of the few games where you can use the second barrel of the pumpgun?
>>749043938it's a quick firing semi auto with an extremely wide choke and iirc it shoots thermite or something, one of the best uses for it in the game is you fire at fodder at head height and it'll clear a room titanfall as a setting is like if every modern military were supplied by south african gun manufacturers
>>749040646I liked how surprisingly long range it is>>749043710Based
>>749041391Ew, I think you just inspired me to never pick up that game.
>>749044197nta but ur loss, great shotgun fun game
>>749042564>That's not how they work as a real weapon though.ooo..oooOOOHH! OHH!! Wow I never thought about it that way. Geez..you're so riiiight!
>>749041551cuz most fps players hate being one shot and one-shot stopping power is the sensible niche of a video game shotgun (combat shotguns are kind of silly in a real world wartime scenario nowadays)
>>749041235Dang, beat me to it.I liked pic related from Cultic. A nice alternative to the obligatory sawn-off double barrel
>>749044183For me it’s shooting grenades out of barrel if the HL2 mp7, always gets a chuckle
>>749040646It's been a while since I played it so I don't remember exactly which one, but the shotguns in EDF5 feel amazing since they pierce enemies. It's so satisfying dismembering frogs with them or kitting loads of ants with them.
>>749040646Apex butchered this
>>749046827apex butchered everything >l-star is a doom plasma gun reference right down to having a cooldown period whenever you stop firing>apex turns it into a generic machine gun
With Dragon's Breath rounds. Literally ruin any lobby you're in.
>>749042592I was fucking killing it with the TR one-shot pump action, with the perk that instantly filled up the jetpack with a kill. I was literally killing and jumping all day. I have never caused that much seething in a game... i think they fucking nerfed that perk...
>>749040646>reloads two at a timeIts draw back is having such horrible accuracy that you need to be in melee range, But i always saw this doom guys shotgun because of it massive damage with the downside being you have to get close to demons doesnt really sound like a big downside to mr rip and tear
>>749047481The new jump pack they added that launched you forward super fast with that perk and a shotgun was so much fun. You're never on the ground longer than a couple seconds before you leap frog to the next victim.
>>749041551Game design and balancing. IRL a good shotgun is virtually good at pretty much anything. Noguns need not to argue.
>>749047815Yeahhhh that one. Did they nerf it yet? I haven't played in years
>>749040646Fuck Respawn for making it a primary in the last update.
what was that pay2win belt fed shotgun/laser from... CODBLOPS 3? I saw a few webms of it long ago and have been lightly obsessed with it since.
>>749040646For me, it's the Invective.
>>749049779what was this one's gimmick again? been a long time since playing.
>>749041551Black Ops 2 had the KSG and it was really good. A little too good. I remember it destroying AR and SMG users consistently. The long barrel essentially turned it into a ballista with a slightly shorter range.
>>749040646I miss it so muchthe poison version was neat too
>>749049897It was the only full-auto shotgun for a few years in D1 and while they added more latter on, it still had the fastest fire rate IIRCI didn't play much of D2 past Forsaken but I don't think it ever made it to that game; probably for the best with all the exotic weapon powercreep.
>>749048887It's all about balance anon.Should've remained a choice though.
1. USAS-12 in far cry 22. Saiga in bad company 2 (MP)
>>749050631What balance? It sucks ass compared to all the SMG primaries.
>>749047831Can a good shotgun do my taxes?
>>749041235but that's just the half life ps2 edition shotgun?
>>749044183Does the second barrel exist on the real weapon? Can you actually fire two bucks at the same time?
>>749040646Rebecca best girl. Guts best gun. Simple as.
/thread
>>749052005No, they mistook the magazine tube for another barrel. Even if it did have 2 barrels, firing both at a time is a bad idea.
CAN'T FLIMFLAMTHEZIMZAM
>>749052112why?
>>749052247They don't know how guns work
Mastiff? No thanks I prefer mass tits.
>>749052361do you?
>>749040646i loved the shotgun in battlefield bad company 2, it actually changed my perception of shotguns in video games being total trash for retards who can't aim and have to run right up to you to get a kill. i was one shotting snipers from across the map with the 12 gauge pump action with slugs in that game. the shotguns from doom 2 can't be left unmentioned either.
Big trouble for tunnelers
>>749047831you're not impressing anybody with that, so just put it away.
>>749040646I don't like Apex Legends, but the Peacekeeper is a good addition to the Titanfall universe of weapons.
>>749042335>Watching the kill feed as your buckshot kills a gook from more than 100m away
>>749052418For the most part.
>Pretty absurd vanilla>Can be upgraded to basically evaporate anything you point it at without exaggeration.>Trapped in a shit game as a fucking funnie reference haha.
It's also the last gun I remember using before quitting d2 for good.
>>749054626Pozhar xmod2 from cp2077. Def one of the recent favs.
>>749054626Soz. I have no clue why I quoted you in >>749054951. Misclicked.
>>749043598>Germans called this a warcrimeLmao
>>749040646The best vidya shotty
>Tfw blasting space ghosts with a shotgun named One Small Steploved the designs on these things
>>749057068>blasting space ghostsThe fuck did he ever do to you?
>>749052575This is good but I spent 100 shells on a single dungeon with it. I don't know how that's supposed to be sustainable
>>749057202punched his wife into a river
>>749048173Too bad it was shit at higher difficulties.
>>749052762Has it been modded into TF|2 yet?
>>749051089IIRC the SMG's shit on everything in those games, to be fair.
>>749060981Which is why balance should be ignored.
>>749053375Is that the doom eternal shotgun in starfield?
>>749060714No, but there's a modded double-barrel shotgun on the Northstar client.
>>749049897>>749050215it also rejuvenated ammo
This thing was an absolute menace for the longest time. Still very good.
the Slaughter shotgun from EDF was great. the Ol Reliable of the Ranger weapon selection.
>>749062279is this game worth playing in its current state?
>>749064495Debatable. The actual gun fighting is fun and there's a lot of strategy to be had with squad loadouts and tactics. That said it is extremely punishing and if you play with randos all it takes is one retard on your team to make sure you will not extract. The future updates with more PvE stuff should be interesting.
>>749064495lol
>>749042207>he uses buckshot and not slugslol lmao even
