Shotgun tips? Empty Shotgun tips?

Post by -=Doc=- Tue Feb 11, 2014 8:21 pm

Have any?  It seems like either my computer is a slow pile of junk or the shotgun is just one uncontrollable spray monster :p  If I try to fire it I lag extremely bad, and I can't even come close to keeping it anywhere near on target.  I'm not new to et, been playing since around 2002, and I've played on your server for about 2 years, and have never managed to use the shotgun with any success.

Every so often I increase the mouse sensitivity a bit to get used to the new settings and play that way until you are comfortable with it.  The higher you go the less "kick" you get and be active with the movement of you mouse if that is what you use.  At least that's how I do it.

I tried adjusting the sensitivity. It does help w/kick. But I would have to get used to the change. I rarely use the "shotty". Especially since the MP40 and Thomp had damage increased. I wish I had better tips for you Doc. Oldman is lethal w/his shotgun. He HAS to have the process mastered. Like a Star @ heaven

Fellas, the easiest way to use the shotgun is with mouse sensitivity set to MAX. You will get used to the movement issues this creates in time. It also makes it difficult to aim from a distance because the tiniest movement will make you overshoot the target. This reduces shotgun recoil to nearly zero and makes it the most awesome weapon on the server! Having used this method to great effect for some time now I can speak with authority as to its effectiveness.

My best advice with shotgun is ..... to not use shotguns Smile The game take all make sense when you use a gun which you can aim with (the sten is my favorite). 

I prefer to die 2x more, but at least, the kills I do are intended Wink

But it's only my personnal opinion.

If you still want to use the shotgun, you have to find the perfect timing and always make your mouse 'come down' at the same time you shoot. Their is not a miracle formula, just find the best rythme.

Aim for the head,  never aim lower at the body and fire quick bursts without holding the trigger down for more than a second. 

With the rate of fire chances are you will get multiple headshots very quickly without the need for precise aim like the sten.

I jack the pitch to .100 and use 110 fov. The turbo setting on my controller helps too
