Shotguns May Be Just A Tad Bit Op...

[Nyrakav]

Namely the Hek. one shotting The Harvester.

 

Excuse the crunching. Sun chips are really good.

Watch DE put damage caps on assassins so we're all forced to use bullet hoses again.

level 30 and you say the hek is op with a mag blasting off their shields  really? come back when you can oneshot level 100+

Don't give them ideas!

It takes 3 reloads (2 with Ammo stock) to down one Nully shield so no. Shotgun are still very situational so they should excel within their respective niches.

Did the exact same thing yesterday. I think the answer is to buff Zanuka / Harvester rather than nerfing the Hek, it's never really been much of a challenge, especially if you slow it down (like you did in the video).

Oh god, don't give them ideas. Bullet hoses are already better than single shot weapons.

That would actually be better.

I one shotted the harvester before the hek was buffed.

 

Its not all that hard to do really.

[HollowExistence]

Shotguns are finally good. Stop fuckin it up for others

[Draciusen]

Zanuka Hunter popped up once for me. I didn't even see it actually do anything; it just died instantly. I think a Napalm is more intimidating.

[ShawnV2]

Sigh..and so the nerf threads begin.

How is that different from any other maxed weapon, though?

[Empiren]

>mag kills shields<
Did you miss that?

[NovusNiveus]

I killed Harvester with unranked Ankyros once, and the G3 with one Penta grenade.

 

I'm just happy to see the Hek return to its former glory.

Assassins are a terrible basis for weapon balancing. Most bosses and mini-bosses are outdated anyway. They've never adapted to the various changes made to the game.

Damage is totally ok. On 30lvl + Tigris sometimes require more than 2 shots to kill something... Thats alright.

 

Effective range is too huge though.

 

Shotguns should be superior to rifles at close range...Equal at medium range and be lame at long range.  

 

Considering that in WF average battle distances are : 

Close combad   0 - 10m    

Medium 10-30  

long 30+  

 

I can say that shotguns are OP. Coz even at 30m damage is insane.

 

Stronger damage fall off should fix that. 

[Attel_Malagate]

STOP PLEASE just STOP I will never hunderstant thoose poeples who cant just leave poeple alone and let them have fun.

 

NO shotguns are not OP, they are good now, situational and asignated to a precise role, their damage is justified.
 

For more info see: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/501270-dps-means-nothing/ the topic I made to prevent poeples like you to ruin the shotguns, some of them are not even buffed enough. (strum, boar prime, ....)

[(PSN)SofeSNBR]

my dread, vectis, ogris, vectis p can do same. Zanuka is weakling, that's the problem.

[(PSN)zanebrtn]

Nope, not overpowered. The idea that shotguns in videogames should be so short on range that they are basically a melee replacement really needs to die.
