I really hope the Hunting Shotgun glitch gets fixed

[Quadruplesword]

For those who don't know, it's a glitch where you can fire an infinite number of times in a row with the hunting shotgun. I don't know how to do it and even if I did, I wouldn't describe how to do so since that's against forum rules, but it's very annoying and very aggravating when somebody in the server is doing it because it removes any sort of threat or challenge that the bigger enemies present and just overall makes the game too easy

People complain about using chainsaws against the patriarch. Ever been in a server with a hunting shotgun glitcher who massacres the patty by himself without even breaking a sweat? Now that is cheating in its purest form. And people like this are becoming more and more prevalent. It really surprises me that people actually enjoy playing that way. How can you enjoy the game when you've killed any challenge that it could present

I really hope that TWI is aware of this glitch and that they will fix it in a future update (assuming they still plan on updating KF; I know they're busy with RO2 right now).

lol are you playing on beginner or something?

 

[kablooie!]

That and the Gorefast/Shotgun glitch... Definitely will be happy when those get fixed.

 

[Ibin.]

It isn't unlimited, just the entire ammo supply (62?) without having the need to reload. And it has been "fixed" many times but has always cropped back up since release. Don't get your hopes up anytime soon.

Only seen this a couple times myself in public servers, months ago, and they've never shared with anyone how to do it, so as long as nobody goes around telling everyone, it doesn't get abused too much.

TWI should be getting around to these eventually, I can't imagine they're dropping support for KF.

That's nearly a thousand damage every click. Assuming they're not hitting the head. You don't really need to be playing beginner for that to nearly kill the patriarch, especially with less than 6 players, and other players at least TRYING to fight him.

But hey lol maybe an automatic hunting shotgun isn't overpowered. Only on beginner.

 

[=[PMC]= breakfast]

lol never saw this

 

[ro_sauce]

yeah i've never seen somebody own the patriarch on anything above beginner using this glitch, and on normal that was with 2 ppl.

so at 50 damage per projectile, and 10 projectiles per primary fire, (+60 % dmg for lvl 6 support) thats 800 damage if all bullets hit said target. times 62 bullets for full lvl 6 loadout. so that 49,600 damage if every single projectile hits the (insert target).

so yes its possible.

I've seen people do it several times on HoE. Not sure why you'd be playing on beginner in the first place unless you're like, level -12.

I'd have taken a look into it myself only no one has ever told me how to do it.

Fix the grenade and HC bug first

Unless the close shotgun bug occurs and there is zero damage.

Yeah, I thought the bug was awesome when it first happened to me and then I was without a good deal of ammo that wave!

do not really know how to do "no reload" glitch for hunting shooty. but what I do know how to get 3 shots in 1 mag. which came up when they figured that the hunting shotty didn't shoot as many pellets with 2 singles (14?) than dobbel fire.(20?)

 

[CandleJack]

I'm more concerned about the PAS in the Gorefast's chest glitch than i am of this one.

Given that we've now been informed it just uses up all your ammo without reloading, that's a less common glitch than sticking your PAS in a Gorefast only for its muzzle to stick out his back... and your shot does nothing.

IIRC That was fixed a couple of patches ago.

Yeah, that caught me out a couple of times early on. Certainly an odd one, I'm guessing it's because the model leans forward at points.

I dont think that is such a bad glitch since support specialist mostley oneshots everything else having a extra weakness is no problem

 

[XyzKiller]

I must go off and find these glitches to report to Tripwire (as they already seen my video on kf glitches & patched them )

 

[Lewt]

Someone notes that they're going to try and report an exploit to Tripwire and gets downvoted.. on the Tripwire forums? Poor show.

 

[Steeps]

Haha same here. Someone taught me how to do it a while back and I thought I was so cool absolutely destroying every zed that came close to us. Then I ran out of ammo with almost 300 zeds left in the wave and had to rely on the pump shotgun from that point forward.

Never did it again and have no desire to do so.

**** I didn't even notice it. What's the glitch?
