owzzy Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 IR3 in the shredder turns it into a sniper-shotgun hybrid. 1

GhosT Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 This is the prime example why you shouldn't make such a weird pellet damage system. They're way too forgiving now, hitting 1-2 pellets shouldn't reward you with dealing full damage. This seems like a lazy attempt to dodge having to fix the servers/hitreg. 3 1

It doesn't From what I've heard it works somewhat like that, instead of single pellets doing x damage, like they used to. Little Orbits explanation on the shotgun changes isn't understandable and no one even knows how they actually work now.

Here is a graph @Tobii made for CSG damage Here is one from LO_Beastie showing JG damage (Test A is the live version iirc) You do kind of have to dig to get all this info unfortunately.

Because simply explaining it in 1-2 sentences in the patch notes is too hard. Thanks. The shotgun changes are still stupid though and shouldn't be the way they currently are.

I also agree that the current shotgun changes should be reworked. Hopefully this patch isn't final.
Kat Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 I think shredder balance changes were tested by porn bots cus even a chimp brain could deduce a 3-shot-from-50m shotgun shouldn't be pushed to live
EnriquexD Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 I suck with this weapon lol, just bought the JT Shedder and i barely can get a kill, i put in slot RS3.. I feel my hitreg is very bad with it... I got mad and changed to my NFAS no slotted and was killing so bad in assylumĀ What about DOW Thumper, i saw a few guys with it in FC and they just 2 shot me 10-15m, is it op now or was the player?

You're playing the gun wrong. You have to aim with it, like you would with an assault rifle or something. It's made to be used in marksman mode, and gains accuracy from that. The go-to mod for it is Hunting Sight 3 and Mobility Sling. Try it again that way.
Unclean Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 The shredder seems strong because of how close most combat is in APB..Ā It needs something, just not sure what. Maybe spacing the damage between 3 balls instead of how ever many it has now? This would be less forgiving for those who tend to spray it when in CQC. I see it fixed, but recognize that it's an issue somehow.. it's beat by the Ntec (which is the most balanced weapon imo) when it tries to take on an ntec from medium range, and beat by the OCA when it's outfitted with IR3 in CQC. I don't think the damage is the issue, but maybe the accuracy when in marksmanship mode? Pellet count?

Oh wow, just give it a try the way u said in 1 mission, andĀ was totally different. I used to hip fire like all shotguns and that was my error, thanks.Ā

SLICKIEM Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Don't forget that one major perk of shotguns is that they are intended to help players with less skill be effective at the cost of being nearĀ useless (outside of secondaries)Ā at ranges where marksmanĀ and assault rifles are powerful. This pellet rework is supposed to make that a reality, which I think it does without being too game-changing or overbearing. Edited August 13, 2018 by SLICKIEM 2

Not sure if im drunk or your trolling but i got a shredder today on trial ofc. being able to kill 3 enemys at +20m with one mag is not what i would consider near useless or non game changing.
