Long, but its kinda bugged right now (the entrys are wrong, causing the shotgun to stop doing damage after 500 units instead of 700.

Yes, 500 units is far too long for the sg I think.

I would suggest a nerf, but then rines would be like "OMG WTH SG SUKX !!!!!!!!!!!11111oneoenoenoeevlelvel"

For a unit size reference:

So, for 500 units, imagine about six command chairs lined up front-to-back. For whatever reason, this doesn't seem just right at the moment, but it might be because of my lack of sleep.

NetBent

500 units could roughly be about 18-20 feet.

You mean it's harder to snipe skulks running away? Good, because that's not what the shottie is made for.
But... it's still easy to do. Maybe it's broken?

I don't think the shotgun was actually changed... I think it was moomin? who showed some pics, where he would shoot at a fade, and only a single pellet would hit, then step back a bit, shoot again, do the exact same amount of damage(the fade was allowed to regen up to full to make sure it was the same amount), step back another bit, and no pellet at all would hit(ie, the fade would be out of range).
What should have happened is that the fade should have started taking progressively less damage the more he stepped back.

Hi




And 500 is anything but distanced, it needs to have its old range back at least, with the damage dropoff.

yer I hate the new SG, Ive even started to adapt my commanding to get hmgs fast, where as before I used to think SG were fine dealing with everything but onos, now, I go for hmgs faster.
