Currently, You have two options with a 1/2 loaded hunting shotgun, you either fire off the extra shot so you reload both barrels, or you wait for something to shoot, and in the current state of affairs, have to reload straight after and leave yourself open, besides the ability to not auto reload straight after firing (mentioned Here) I'd like the ability to load a shell into a hunting shotgun, without having both barrels emptied.
Reloading 1 shot of the hunting shotgun
- Thread starter F4tal3rror
- Start date
every weapon needs to have downfall (not the right word) but cant think straight now...
I like it, i wouldn't change it but...its not really that much of a game breaking change soo honostly wouldn't matter to me. Also it doesn't make much sense to me that you can't reload before emptying both shots.
Im in favor for change

Has been suggested some times already, but even though this is a minor problem I would really like to be able to reload single shells in the HS. It can be quite annoying that you have to fire one single shot to nowhere just to be prepared for serious spray n pray ^^
I Totally Agree...
I Totally Agree...
I totally agree with the "One Shell" loading for the Hunting Shotgun because the Sawed-Off Shotgun in CoD: WaW was a brilliant gun for a secondary or primary.
For an example: If you come across a massive horde of clots, crawlers or a scrake, and you have already used one shell in your Hunting Shotgun, and you know its a job 2 shells job...what are you gona do? Empty that last shell and hit/miss most of them and then get them all over you while you are reloading...
See what I'm getting at is, when you used that first shell from the start and you're in the clear for a moment of two, it would be great if you could just be able to load that first shell into the Hunting Shotgun so you are filled and ready for the next horde (Also it would be a really great animation to see when the character puts his thumb over the right shell so that the empty left shell falls out and you are able to load another one for that next horde comes at for you).
Trust me, it may not sounds like a big thing at the time, but it is for me. Its like having the pump action shotgun without this feature. Now that would be down right stupid. I know Killing Floor is trying to be "different" to all other Zombie Shooters, but I am pretty sure this is the ONLY game that does not let you have this "simple-yet-effective" feature, and that is down right bummer for us Zombie Shooting fans out there. Also there would be no problem with the "Oh it'll make people rage blah blah blah" simply don't press the Reload key then, simply as that ladies and gentlemen...

I have an idea. A stupid one, but alas.
Use the same mechanic they use for the Force-a-Nature in Team Fortress 2.
You can reload your Hunting Shotgun when there's only one shell left, but you'll discard both shells (thus losing the one still usable) and reload back to 2 full shells again.
...That is quite stupid.

There certainly are double-barreled shotguns where only a fired round is extracted/ejected when the weapon is opened. The breech of the HS goes off-screen briefly during the reload animation, so it makes it a bit difficult to determine what is taking place. And, I don't think it has any real bearing on the topic at hand, since a new, second reloading animation depicting the extraction and insertion of a single round would be required to implement this anyway. If that were to happen, let me add that it would be peachy if the fresh shells *didn't* have spent primers in them as they do now.
In a somewhat related matter, if, hopefully, Killing Floor II surfaces someday, maybe it can be arranged to have the slides on the Beretta and Desert Eagle stay open after the last round is fired, like they're supposed to.

Posting old rope here, but would still love to see this only because it would look so awesome.
In CODWAW is the 1 thing I have to be thankful for from the franchise after COD2 for making this awesome animation. put #t=0m18s on the end of the video link below or skip to 18 seconds

Spoiler!
One animation, wow. Sounds like a really good game then.
Also, custom animation for a HL1 mod:

****ing love that reload, feels so bad ***. (Yes that's the sawed off from BLOOD)
Waste of Ammo
Waste of Ammo
But again, if you do require that last shell if you do or do not miss the horde coming towards you, you will still have to reload and plus it is a waste of Ammo using Alternate Fire Mode on 1-3 zombies, 5+ is a more efficient way to conserve your Ammo.
In this game, Ammo = Survival.

And have the hammers back, instead of forward.
Be nice to have a slightly faster reload if you load mid mag as well, so you don't have to chamber a round again, which is the whole point of a tactical reload. Firearms half life did this, and it was a nice addition. I know the pump shotgun does this right now, fire 3 shells, and you reload 3, fire 8, you reload 8 and pump it.

I like it how it is, it means you need to think do a shot the last shot to reload or risk it. reminds me of the m1 garand in the old ww2 i used to play.
all the hunting shogun needs is either the be more accurate or the model made into a sawn-off.
