So, how good is the shotgun? I know it dominates in close encounters. Please tell your stories and battles with the shotgun.

What do you think? Any tactics with it?

I AM DYING TO KNOW!

It's a pretty kick-ass weapon, I use it most of the time and on our server the cheap engi has it. Very Happy

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

cool make the shotgunner class pointless

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

If you give the Engineer a shotgun, you've made the Shotgunner redundant. And since the Engineer has C4 (and, on Nod, has a smaller body than the Shotgunner) there's no reason to ever buy a Shotgunner.

Well, I didn't know you guys were talking about that..
Renstation runs that way.


But, I don't ever see a shotgun in play. Well, once in a long run. And thats a noob that gets killed without using a single round..

If you are really pro at not getting killed, you can use the shotgun..


But today, there are to many ways and factors that lead us to getting killed. I feel the shotgun has last it's chance at becomming a commonly free used character a long time ago.

I'm just saying. Being able to kill anything in one shot is what makes the shotgunner a good base infantry.

It has a lot more uses than a flamethrower, that's for sure. And it's really your only real reliable way of killing 1000s without a hand of nod.

Playing for renegade for almost 5 years i've seen a lot of shitty server mods and seeing a hotwire/tech spawn with a chain gun is just ridiculous. I mean, what's the point of anyone ever buying an officer if you can wait 175 more, get remote c4s, another timed, and proxies, not to mention more health. And no, the officer isn't a bad unit. It's a pretty good "shooting" infantry. Not like it's worth paying 1000 for mobius when you use an officer and do about just as much damage, though the health helps a little.

You have a point with the shotgunner class pointless, I might give shot gunners 5 more HP (Maybe more) So it's a bit fair.

Ya...I hear.

It is good to use the shotgun and guard the MCT's. It does sap health in close encounters. But so far...I have not once seen it in multiplayer.

Try a full 40+ server and there are a few out there. Then you will see the shotty being used to good effect. SBH are brilliant with them for taking out the Havocs Big Ups

It's as useful as the rest. You just need to know when and how to use it.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

If nothing else, it's certainly worth it's price.

In addition, it's one of the few weapons that doesn't get outclassed by a slightly more expensive and shinier varient.

And um...it hurts things.
