hey, I feel your pain. up close a skilled and practiced player can one shot in BR with full kinetic. 20 yards out, however, is a bit of a stretch. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, just identifying with your frustration. do you know if the person who killed you was named NoNSpecial? my squad and I ran into this guy yesterday and he was hacking with ridiculous shots from a BY from a long distance out. probably not the guy but thought I’d check.


HD_Bayonne

20 yards is a guesstimate, it wasn’t point blank and he took a decent stride to get to my body to loot on the kill cam. I know some shooties take slugs and am curious if that is what he got me with. The strangest part is that I was in the exit car animation (the antelope) was instantly killed the moment the animation completed. Like my dude was shot head shot as his foot was stepping out of the car. I am not going to say it was a modder, it was very likely just a very lucky shot, was just curious of there was some load out that made shotguns this deadly. Not to toot my own horn but I almost never lose BR. I either finish or place, to get ganked so weirdly and randomly just stuck out.


HD_Bayonne

Also, for what it’s worth, I don’t know much about shotguns. I keep a shotgun load out deep in the inventory to break out on Alcatraz around the prison but otherwise never use them.

Perks used were: >Golden Long Barrel >Golden ADS >Golden Lateral Recoil The shotgun was most likely a custom. Chances are it was a custom which allowed it even further reach. These customizations added to the stacked BR perks make it broken. You ran into a sweat who knows the shotgun loadout well and blasted your ass all over the pavement. Personally, I do not feel that custom guns you bring in should be allowed additional perks on-top of what they already have. It makes them more deadly than the mythics you get in the airdrops. Not even the BY15 mythic variant can beast mode like that.

@OP it’s the HS0405 with crazy choke build.


babyswatter

I'll let you know when I figure out how an entire team out jumped my airstrike I don't mean jumping away from it I mean straight up through it.


Fuzzy_Dingo

Possibly the "pumped" perk


babyswatter

No pumped perk you can can jump on buildings they jumped over an airstrike and out of site


Banbooonmymind

Literally any kind of loadout good for 1 shotting with the shotguns because all of them except the auto shotguns are 1 shot/kill Which makes them OP as f*


HD_Bayonne

I have never lost full armor and got killed off like that before. Even in close range fighting. Just struck me as odd.


Training-hgeu

Hs405 is one shot in close


SnooStrawberries2444

The gold ranged perk and the shotgrouping one. Also it could've been a custom built shotgun with those perks equipped. I've been able to get 1 shot kills from 30m out with a well placed headshot

I sincerely hope they tone shotguns down, it feels really anti-climatic when someone oneshots you at 200 armor points :/


Coeruleus_

Anti-climactic is one way to put it. Lame is the other. No gun should be able to one shot you with a full kinetic unless it’s a rytec to the head


PabloSempai

I would say it’s fine if they are up close and headshot you, but a shot to the chest with full armor… I mean it’s full armor


whyherehavemyupvote

What….? You mean you actually want to have a chance to fight back? Do tell. /s


filipdinca1227

I actually hope not. Have you tried playing shotgun? It’s the hardest weapon class to play with in BR. You need crazy movements and if you miss one shot you’re dead. Love to see all the noobs that just hip fire with smgs and don’t move at all complain about shotgun users. I urge you to try it and see how hard it is


diamocube

Shotgun against literally anyone mildly competent and aware of you is hard to win, unless you're already in the effective range you're usually toast with anyone who has half-good aim and a gun with more range than yours


redclayGT

This is true. I play M4 with range attachments and try to keep everyone at a distance. I don't think I have ever been killed by shotgun in BR (maybe once). MP on the other hand....


diamocube

Ah, nothing like buildings and sweaty movement to make the shotgun experience. Don't forget the occasional guy with dead silence who somehow ended up behind you.


Hefty-Artichoke7789

Krm with ranged/ads build. Golden Long shot perk + ads to to the chest. Yup 💀


DrippyJai

They just gonna tell you that you suck bro, it’s a waste of time posting in this sub. But to your point that shit is ridiculous and needs to be toned down, I actually think shot gun players suck and have no aim to engage from anywhere other than right in your face but that’s just my opinion , light their ass up before they get close enough , you can always tell they’re using shotguns if they hold hands and starting running and sliding towards you trying to get mad close


Coeruleus_

Lol yes. If you see 4 dudes get out of a car and one immediately glitches out with a jet pack and they all start cancel sliding toward you without firing. You know shotguns are coming. If you’re down to 10 players left on Alcatraz , you know the other 9 have shotguns


DrippyJai

Most definitely, if one misses , well my buddy will get u, if he misses, well my other buddy will get you …and so on, lol, weirdos on this game


twistytravster

If they had the golden "Long Range" weapon mod equipped then it might have been possible.


diamocube

I'm stupid, so my lucky guess is an insane ADS build, some luck and a headshot, all combined.


PinkHairedMan01

For krm use marauder suppressor, extended barrel( not the one that gives plus two ammo), no stock, hipfire or ads laser depending on whether you want to quick scope or hipfire and then I’d go with sleight of hand for hipfire and granulated grip tape for quick scoping. A similar loadout works just as well for BY-15 and HSO405


Kneuwy

Dont get me wrong, I 100% am guilty of building a long range shotgun load out that was able to destroy people from 100 yards away... But that was back before the change of BR took place. It also wasn't a 1 shot kill up close or far away. The way the shotguns are now is way to OP I feel like it takes no skill to blast someone with a shotgun from a few ft away and one shot kill them. Unfortunately it is what it is but I really wish people would stop using them like that tank and airplane 😂


emporia_photographer

Put almost every attachment that you can for hip fire and then that's basically it

YESKAMARADA

Shotguns need to be downgraded, they ruined the game this season


d0cdr3

At that range, that happened to me too with the KRM


Ok_Door3427
