@LevelCapGaming The bug where your reticule for the shotgun, or any other gun for that matter is a bug that only seems to happen in TDM and possibly even SQDM because of the extremely fast spawns, and inability to spawn on your teammates during those game-modes.
shotguns good for engineer tankers. when your tank is enabled and the rocketshooter/squad is still close and expecting you to get out. you jump out a smoking tank not exactly sure where he/they are and you wanna fix your tank asap to keep it going, so here is the shotgun a very handy tool.
Whenever I use a shotgun I flank behind the other team instead of getting into a firefight like you would with a rifle. I do just as well every round with a shotgun as an m4a1 or a f2000. You just need to change up your playstyle to compensate for it's short range,
levelcap, when you use the mav, and send it up in the middle of the map to spot for you, doesn't it come right back down to the ground when you close the remote? It almost sounds like you are leaving it up in the air, to spot the entire round... am I misunderstanding you?
It's not so great for PC, but can be used as a main weapon on the PS3. The MCS is one of my fav weapons on PS3, but I never use it on PC.
Fletchette rounds are a big upgrade on any shotgun other than the MCS. Basically it reduces the spread of the gun to that of the MCS, and adds penetration. On the MCS, its just an underpowered version of the same old buckshot.
shotguns are mostly for RUSH maps like Grand Bazaar, Op Metro, where you need to clean up a full room of enemies defending the MCOM, e.g. Bathroom in Metro, 1st stage B in Bazaar, otherwise it will be quite difficult to go in with non-shotgun weapons because you will be shot dead right after you get a kill. MK3A1 with 12G Frag rounds is one truly evil gun, I don't use it unless I really have to (if you know what I mean...)
Sure shotguns can't handle that sniper in that building across the hill, but that is the reason the only time I use the shotgun is when I am using smaw with engineer. I 1 hit that sniper 80% of the time with smaw.
Recommended shotgun: USAS-12 (and if you want to be a complete douche, use frags with it)
What you don't understand lvlcap is that using a shotgun requires you to change the way you play. You want to drag the enemy into a space where YOU have the better weapon.
If its a wide open space between me and the enemy, well then i just sneak around.
@1leggeddog I like to pair shotguns with assault and smoke grenades. You're absolutely right, if you don't control where you fight, you're gonna get destroyed.
what they should do is add a choke into the upgrade slot. Basically, a choke tightens the spread to your liking. There are many kinds and it would be a cool addition to BF3. (Avid hunter/shooter here, im not bullshiting you guys)
I will regularly come top of leaderboards in any game mode using this weapon, unlike other weapons you actually HAVE to put yourself into close range situations, there are points on every map where you can wreak havoc with the shotguns, almost every other weapon you rely on being put into medium to long range situations, which is why its much more satisfying using a shotgun:D
Flechette isn't really better at long range. Its main advantage is that it penetrates enemy players with almost no damage reduction (doesn't penetrate the environment). It also performs similarly to buckshot at all ranges so at the moment there's really not all that much point in not taking it.
In Seine Crossing/Operation Metro Conquest I always get 30+ kills with the USAS. Shotguns are fine, you just have to know when to use them and when not to. Getting out of the tank and blasting away the guy sticking C4 on you never gets old...
I. Have experienced this glitch with the cross hairs I get it on vehicles as well I'm on ps3 as well so it don't see system specific hope it gets sorted in the next patch witch I here is comming out in feb here lot of talk about weapons balance hope they address the more important things as well
The crosshair bug affects all guns in TDM, not just the shotties. You can restore the crosshairs for a life by starting to switch to your pistol and then quickly bringing back the main gun.
Shotties can be useful on large Conquest maps, even Caspian, that have CQ objectives that are prone to changing hands often (e.g. B and C on Caspian). Also, I sometimes run USAS or M1014 when I'm driving or gunning a tank so I can jump out and quickly dispatch C4 sneaks who get under the tank's guns.
@eagleeye929 Ye, check out Anderz el also if you want more sniper shotgun videos. I just got the impression that it was more of a fun thing to use. Especially because the scope blocks most of the screen when you are running around.
@eagleeye929 Prove it, dude! Show me a video with the Remington 870 and a two to three kill shot at about 50-100 meters range in NORMAL gamemode. It took me about 7-8 shots with buckshot ammunition which is to much and takes ages to kill my enemy.
WHy don't you play in hardcore mode? I get the bug too when I play normal mode where the crosshair disappears but it's not a problem in HC cuz u dont have crosshairs anyway.
Hey LvlCap, what is your opinion on dudes who run around using th USAS with frag rounds? I find them extremely frustrating and amongst the cheapest set ups in the game.
search up sniper shotgun by robbaz. the viking king of nipples will show you the true power of a shotgun at long range. oh and love your videos :D keep em coming
Playing TDM on Canal is highly recommended. Used this gun a lot in the start but after getting the USAS-12 I started using it more. At first I thought Frag rounds were better but Buckshot is just so much more affective at close range. Frag for long range.
1- i just watched you jet video, talking about controls and how you hate the default controls. could you tell me what controls you are using? and why you dislike the default ones? maybe over a video (jet controls tutorial haha) or something, but i would like any kind of reply :D
2- i'm getting into competitive BF3, do you have any tips? weapons, attachements, anything really.
thanks for the videos, you're the best BF guy on youtube :D
Yeah. Despite the in-game description of doing lesser damage, putting flechette on the M870 will give you a tighter spread than buckshot, increasing your 1-hit kill range.
Ok so you hate shotguns.... but what about some of the PDW? I find the P90 a beast at close and medium range with a silencer, and the PDW-R is bad silenced on semiauto either.
I wish one of these devs would put a realistic over and under shotty into a game. Made just like a hunting shoutgun with full choke in one barrel for long range, and a mod in the other for short to medium. The fact you would only have two shots would keep it from becoming over powered.
@ole88bluegmc Sometimes when the game is loading the tip is "Frag rounds aren't terribly damaging, but they offer significant suppression". I think this is pretty ridiculous because from my experience Frag does a ton of damage with direct hits. A USAS Frag guy was round the corner shooting at my friend, and I went round to kill him. I got in front of his fire and 1 shot hit me, getting me down to a very low health.
I love shotguns in most video games. It has so much style and is so fun and rewarding, especially the sound of it, loud blasts and then crunching a new round in the chamber.
In BF3 I really only like the 870, though. Have to agree with you - the game has too many situations where you can't really do anything with a shotgun. Even though in real life, shotguns can have good accuracy with narrow chokes and long barrels.
To remove the crosshair dissaperaing glitch just switch to your secondary and then back to the primary. The glitch has happened to me when using grenade launchers aswell
I don't understand why he says shotguns aren't useful in the game: In Metro, after the first set of MCOMs, shotguns are useful in the second set when you're trying to take people down in the hallways/locker areas.
Shotguns are super effective in BF3 if you use it right. Get the 44 scoped and you have a medium ranged weapon. Get smoke grenades and you can get close to any enemy you want to shoot them in the face. To say it's a bad weapon for BF3 is just stupid.
@orangeplatter They can be, but that doesn't mean that they are more viable than a fully auto weapon. Throughout the ENTIRE game, there aren't many situation where you could say a shotgun would have been a completely better choice. Don't get me wrong, i'm not fully disagreeing.
@WAstateofmind Of course they aren't going to be useful in certain situations, but it really depends on the play style of the player, not viability. There are plenty of people, myself included, that will get a better k/d and score running a shotgun in a fair amount of situations than any other weapon.
You can get the crosshairs back by switching between your weapons. And the flechette ammo is for more penetration, the slugs are for long range accuracy but they lack in power. Great vid keep it going :)
@Xbox360David the flechette is supposed to be for penetration, butthe only thing it penetrates is players, not even thin wood or metal, which is what it says it does.
You should really try flechette more. I've found that it handles basically just like buck in close quarters action but with the added benefit of going through one enemy and killing the guy directly behind him. One shell and two kills? What's not to love?
@rizztest Really??? That's cool. They were also designed to go through objects but there is a bug that doesn't let it, like through wood. Think they are going to fix that.
You're too harsh on the shotguns. And that's coming from someone who rarely uses shotguns. They're like sniper rifles - they're specialty weapons. Sure they have limited use but I'm thrilled they're in the game because they do have a niche and they add diversity to the experience.
i think its a bug with tdm, everytime i play it my crosshairs keep disappearing, you have to change to your sidearm then switch back to come back up, but still, its really annoying
@mrbrenohenrique27 that also happens in conquest. another bug with the dao-12 and the 870 mcs is the reloading. sometimes you keep pressing bullets into it but they don't actualy count. you have to start reloading again. it's even more annoying,cause you always have to look if it works or not and if you forget it you probably run into a group of enemys with just 1 bullet left.
The M26 shotgun attachment for assault rifles is pump action though right? Haven't really tried it out yet since the tradeoff is the medkit which seems like a bad thing to just throw away.
870 is the only respectable shotgun in the game. The fully auto shotguns are just for people who want to play on easy mode in close quarters. Seine Crossing is pretty much unplayabble because there are so many people who use them.
i have abou 750 Kills with this amazing Weapon, for Metro is Bucket (on HC) and Flechet (on normal) good and if you like you can always use Fragammo at any map!
Just wanted to say that pump-SGs and slug ammo goes well. In 10 meters they have a 100% damage output witch drops to 34 at 40m (semi has 60 10 and 34 at 20m). And you should get one shot kill HS at longer rages(?).
Remington 870 with attached tac light is a good home defense setup in real life. But I don't care for it in this game. As for the disappearing cross hair bug, if you quickly switch to your pistol, then back to your shotgun the cross hair will return.
My favourite shotgun is the M26 MASS, that way you can have both an Assault Rifle for mid- to long-range engagements, and a shotty for CQB. Best of both worlds!
@Pancake833 I've found the DAO is better than the SAGAI most of the time, The SAGAI is really good at close range though. My accuracy with it is 103 lol. I dont know how it got the 3 there
@ESELkoek U have 103% accuracy cuz when u hit more then one person at a time u can get 200% accuracy. If u make a lot of doubles and triples.... u get more then 100% accuracy
LevelCap, I have had the problem of disappearing cross hairs for EVERY single weapon in this game. I'm really pissed that such an obvious bug hasn't been fixed yet. When this happens, to get your cross hairs back, really quickly switch to your pistol and then back to primary.
If the crosshair disappears, just double tap the weapon change button. Problem solved for a while... -.-

There are plenty of people, myself included, that will get a better k/d and score running a shotgun in a fair amount of situations than any other weapon.

You can get the crosshairs back by switching between your weapons. And the flechette ammo is for more penetration, the slugs are for long range accuracy but they lack in power. Great vid keep it going :)

@Xbox360David the flechette is supposed to be for penetration, butthe only thing it penetrates is players, not even thin wood or metal, which is what it says it does.
adrianburns93 1 month ago
@adrianburns93 didn't know flechette doesn't work through thin metal and wood, don't use it so much I like the buckshot better :)
Xbox360David 1 month ago
@adrianburns93 Not necessarily true. I got a blind one-shot kill through a corrugated steel shed with flechette last night.

You should really try flechette more. I've found that it handles basically just like buck in close quarters action but with the added benefit of going through one enemy and killing the guy directly behind him. One shell and two kills? What's not to love?
rizztest 1 month ago
@rizztest Really??? That's cool. They were also designed to go through objects but there is a bug that doesn't let it, like through wood. Think they are going to fix that.

You're too harsh on the shotguns. And that's coming from someone who rarely uses shotguns. They're like sniper rifles - they're specialty weapons. Sure they have limited use but I'm thrilled they're in the game because they do have a niche and they add diversity to the experience.

I hate TDM so much just for the spawning system, it's so fucked, you respawn just in front of an enemy!
mooshitup 1 month ago
i think its a bug with tdm, everytime i play it my crosshairs keep disappearing, you have to change to your sidearm then switch back to come back up, but still, its really annoying
mrbrenohenrique27 1 month ago
@mrbrenohenrique27 that also happens in conquest. another bug with the dao-12 and the 870 mcs is the reloading. sometimes you keep pressing bullets into it but they don't actualy count. you have to start reloading again. it's even more annoying,cause you always have to look if it works or not and if you forget it you probably run into a group of enemys with just 1 bullet left.

The M26 shotgun attachment for assault rifles is pump action though right? Haven't really tried it out yet since the tradeoff is the medkit which seems like a bad thing to just throw away.
herremilkanter 1 month ago
870 is the only respectable shotgun in the game. The fully auto shotguns are just for people who want to play on easy mode in close quarters. Seine Crossing is pretty much unplayabble because there are so many people who use them.

Lets hope they include other pump action shotguns in future DLC´s.

Switch to your secondary to get the crosshair back.
ClintBeastmode 1 month ago
The crosshair bug is related to simply playing TDM.
It happens on any weapon randomly. To get the crosshair back just switch weapons back and forth.

Just wanted to say that pump-SGs and slug ammo goes well. In 10 meters they have a 100% damage output witch drops to 34 at 40m (semi has 60 10 and 34 at 20m). And you should get one shot kill HS at longer rages(?).

Remington 870 with attached tac light is a good home defense setup in real life. But I don't care for it in this game. As for the disappearing cross hair bug, if you quickly switch to your pistol, then back to your shotgun the cross hair will return.

My favourite shotgun is the M26 MASS, that way you can have both an Assault Rifle for mid- to long-range engagements, and a shotty for CQB. Best of both worlds!

@ESELkoek U have 103% accuracy cuz when u hit more then one person at a time u can get 200% accuracy. If u make a lot of doubles and triples.... u get more then 100% accuracy

LevelCap, I have had the problem of disappearing cross hairs for EVERY single weapon in this game. I'm really pissed that such an obvious bug hasn't been fixed yet. When this happens, to get your cross hairs back, really quickly switch to your pistol and then back to primary.

I got the no crosshair bug, too. For me it has nothing to do with the shotgun, i get it with every weapon. But it only happens in TDM!
