Is it true that people who use Auto-Shotguns are near skill-less?

[Man-Django]

Yes, yes it is true. They can also be overheard saying that there's nothing wrong with it and also defend the use of Miniguns and RPGs on small-scale DMs. Well that is when you can actually make out what their high-pitched voices are saying. All will sound clearer when their balls eventually drop.

 

And before any of you guys think I can't handle it trust me I can - The last two times I put it on in a Owned=Pickups DM I got 6kills in a row. But had to turn it off cos I felt like I was cheating. Not even needing to get the Headshots.

 

It goes against all I stand for, that's why I've went and made 20+ DMs that are Forced+Pickups by default.

Okay cool, since you answered your own question, we can close this whining now. Thanks bro

[madmanaz]

This is pointless. *dear mod gods, please lock this obvious attempt at starting a war of butthurt*

[KoingWolf]

If you took away the auto shotty, people like me would just use the regularly shotty or the AP Pistol 100% of the time. It's really not that big of a deal, it's not like the auto shotgun kills effectively from stupid ranges or fires frag rounds like in BF3. Get over it, yo.

 

Also answering your own thread is not a good way to start a discussion.

[deLechuga]

If they are skill-less then you should kill them easily, but no, you're here whining. It's a weapon, R* it's not going to take it out, get over it.

[who-dat]

Inb4 OP makes a generalized statement about shotguns and squeakers!

 

 

Oh, wait, nvm...

[develvis]

Yeah I don't really use the auto shotty for the "auto" more so because it looks and sounds awesome. If they took it away i'd just switch to another one. I use it. It's great.

[Comandante-Olle]

It is too OP at longer range. Used it today on a distance that was WTF...

 

But I like it as my short range weapon. Could excange it for the pump-shotgun but I will continue too use a shotgun at short range because that is what it's made for.

[Phyxsius-]

And what qualifies as skill, in your opinion? Running like a headless chicken, in your underwear, with only the broken bottle as a weapon?

[am30]

This. I can't remember the last time I used a regular shotty. Always the gold auto-shotty.

Single bullet pistol headshots = Skill

[reiniat]

The autoshotgun should be nerfed.... And the Pump Shotgun should be buffed....

Lets add that to the list of issues that are foocking obvious but R* will never change...

 

Also... I was just checking THE auto-shotgun spread and i discovered that it doesnt shot pellets.... IT HAS A CONICAL HIT-SCAN, WHO WAS THE IMBECILE AT R* WHO THOUGHT ON THIS?

So basically anything that can go on a sh*tty, dubstep covered youtube 420 xXx GOML montage is skill?

[Man-Django]

It is very useful at a medium-range(not long), shotties are ment for short-range CQC,

[speedfreek67]

Yes, weapon choice is all about the circumstances and the range involved.

When someone is driving at me, trying to run me over for an easy kill, the weapon of choice is the auto-shotgun.

If someone is behind cover only a few yards away and their knee or elbow is sticking out, the weapon of choice is the auto-shotgun.

If someone is hiding round a corner, close to me, and I have no grenades, the weapon of choice is the auto-shotgun.

Sure. But a kill is a kill nonetheless and, if a weapon is allowed, it should be used. There are no rules and frankly, it is a mistake not to use the best weapon for the job. And IF you got too close as to the auto shotty to have range and kill you, who`s the "near skill-less"? The one who pulled the trigger, or the one that got too close?

[darkmaster234]

you are answering exactly like the op said people would do, the assault shotgun is a weapons Like many others but its true, it is a weapon with great damage and a lot of speed which makes.....that even my mom could kill me with it with one single shot in the chest,doesnt matter if i make 3 headshots with and assault rifle and if i am extremely more skill in the game, that Make it to unfair, but again as almost every object in mankind, the problem is not in it, thus in the use we make of them, i am not against people who use them when the situation requires it,i am against the ones WHO wins the death matches only using that single weapon....instead of grinding slowly to obtain skills

You do realize a DM is not a popularity contest or "Skill Pageant", right? So why shouldn`t they use anything that kills the fastest?

 

You know, a DM has only one goal = WIN. Just making sure you know. All you have to do is kill the other guy faster, with YOUR weapon of choice. So far, you`re just crying because they get too close to you, to actually use the shotty.. and that`s not THEIR fault.

Even when it's on owned weapons I still use the Heavy Pistol, and the last time went up against people using Auto-Shotties, RPG and Miniguns in a DM I still got more kills than anybody else. 5 kills ahead of everybody else.

 

I'm looking for like minded shooters not teens that think auto-shotties and mniguns should be on DMs set on a farms. Away back to freemode to get run over by the high-piched kids in tanks.

 

As I said I'm all about headsots, not just autolock then blam - that got boring after the 1st week

[Viper9502]

Meh, who cares? If it was a weapon system or some perk that the developers included in a game then why not take advantage of it? If we aren't meant to use it then they wouldn't of included it to begin with.

This. Also it's funny that OP is liking the posts

[A Maned Wolf]

You guys do know that if any projectile strikes the head at any range, it counts as a OHK.

I've sniped people with the pump action simply cause one stray pellet found their head.

It just seems OP with the auto-shotgun cause of its high shell count and fast rof increases the chance of a head shot being made.

Ok, youre definition of skill is wrong, LETS GET TECHNICAL!!

If you could plot the graphic of a player skill with a given weapon in function of how marginal is the weapon utility you would get a beautiful "s" shaped Gauss distribution curve.... RDR and Max Payne 3 have that.... GTA: Online weapons doesnt.

This is not about "my way of playing is better" this is about basic balance theory....

And in weapon balance theory GTA:O guns suck hard, i mean all the design should have been scrapped in the design board, nothing means any sense, specially guns like the autoshotgun or traits like the insta-headshosts..... I sometimes feel like this game was designed by an entire different software company that had no previous knowledge of multiplayer systems....

So yeah, you guys are wrong when you claim that the auto-shotgun is fine IF, and only IF you want the best player to win (duh!).

You guys do know that if any projectile strikes the head at any range, it counts as a OHK.

I've sniped people with the pump action simply cause one stray pellet found their head.

The shotguns in this game have no "pellets", they use a conical hit-scan projectile... How does it determine damage in function of range? I have no foocking idea, i ran a lot of tests and i got contradicting info, the autoshotgun can even one-shot people while NOT inside the reticle...

Im starting to believe that spread is not simulated within the cone, but instead the cone is affected by the spread like any standard vector based projectile.... But seriously, a developer needs to be really REALLY retarded to do that...

Absolutley Spot ON - No probs with people using it in Freemode, I play alot of Forced+Pickups, not cos I can't handle the heavy guns but more cos I like realism, see when I encounter people playing my DMs asking where the heavy guns are I laugh in there talentless ear. Usally what I've found is there the people that dislike it. Usally they have the lowest kill scores or the scores screen. But the good shooters always hit like and don't wait about to tell me "Good Job" or "That's a real mans DM"

 

I've killed 13,526 PLAYERS - 6,000 of them have been headshots. 3,218 Headshots with the Combat Pistol alone.

So go ahead make my day and call me rubbish.
