Slugs are always useful . Shotgun rain approve :mohawk: I hope the soldiers can supply teammate with these kind of ammo.

I agree as well, increase accuracy and range, decrease damage I have always liked that idea

Agreed!

this is how i usually played in Bad Company 2.
i would use a pump shotty.
use the slug ammo.
and use the bullet dmg upgrade thingy.
it was fun to basically snipe a person w/ a shotty and i'm sure they were like "WTF he killed me w/ a shotgun from like 25yards?!?". very neat.
oh, and you gotta use a pump, auto shottys are lame.

Sounds like a good idea to me, it'd be fairly easy to include in the customisation, so they might already have included it.

People are more like "Oh, that OP gun again ..." in BC2. Which is absolutely granted.

Also I'd like a lever-action rifle over slugs for shotguns. Some nice Model 1892 Carbine. :happy:

um. i dont know what you guys know about shotguns. but slugs would (in reality) provide increased damage/accuracy/range. it just wouldnt have spread.

1892. Exactly. I believe this game is in the near future.
Semi & fully auto shotguns are the future whether or not that appeals to n your style.

You want a gun with range, don't use a shotgun.

Oh right, because a guns name defines when the hardware was made.

The guns in BRINK aren't real anyway. They're roughly based on real counterparts. I don't see anything being wrong with a lever-action rifle, when there are pumpaction-shotguns.

We need a shotgun underbarrel attachement to the shotguns!

just like BFBC2, only thing is its not as easy as you think to hit someone up close with a slug, now try hitting a light running by really fast and going over a wall lol

Since were talking shotguns, I heard lights can't carry them... yet in one of the videos you can see a light jump up to where an enemy is and blasts him off w/ a shotty, so I'm a little confused. :confused:

That was a medium.

Just cause they have slugs doesn't mean they have to be super long range. SD is balancing this game a lot and of course putting gameplay over realism.

Yes lever actions are always good

No kidding. I've used a SPAS-12 with slugs and magnum ammo before, and there aren't many guns that can beat one in close to mid range save for another SPAS-12 or an 870MCS.

Slugs and sabot do way more damage than what amounts to birdshot past 15 feet. A lot more damage. The downside, traditionally in video games, is that with spread you can hit your opponents even if you only hit with half of the pellets/shrapnel whereas if you use slugs/sabot it's double or nothing.

Meh either way. Shotguns are supposed to be the best at close range combat.

Whoever type-cast shotguns in to that role has never fired a gun, ever.

I didn't say only at close range I said the best at close range combat.
