Hunting Shotgun needs buff

[YoYoBatty]

The Hunting shotgun fires 10 pellets per shell and fires an overall of 20 in the all fire, and 6 per shell in the single fire and an overall of 12. Weird...

Thinking about it, I never ever used the single fire of the HS because it was so ferciously inefficient. I think TWI were thinking that the regular pump shotgun should be better at controlled shots, but the HS would obviously have the big spike.

Would people object to the idea of making the HS say 8 pellets on single fire and 20 shots on double fire? Just so its not so odd and the single fire might acutally be useful?

I think it'd work best if it was 10 shots per barrel. That way you don't have to worry so much about the efficiency of using one barrel or two.

Well I thought that at first, but then wouldn't it pretty much just completely outshine the Pump action?

I reckon the 6 was a balance issue that was a little too far in the opposite direction

Hunting Shotgun needs a buff?

No.

The easiest way to address this would be to buff the single shot to do slightly more damage, so each pellet does more but there are fewer.

if you get like 10 zombies in a row, the huntgin shotgun is awesome, both barrels = lotsa dead zomb!i it can take out a scrake in... 2 shots? before i got lvl 6 with the class, and i still do this until i buy the aa12, i use the shotgun for main czause its fast and the hunting to clear rooms an hallways. now im 6 lol i use when i get the dosh, the medic gun for healing, aa12, m32. but while getting the cash i use shotgun, hunting. the only thing wrong with hunting, but its understandable cause it uses alot of amo, it costs alot to fill on ammo
