Title: Shotgun shells
Post by: The Saint on July 28, 2019, 09:19:03 pm
So I try to figure out the difference between different shotgun shells. I thought lesser pellets are better against flesh non armored targets, but sometimes I inflict more damage with 20p then with 6p. I also don't see the point of 12p? Really, can someone tell me how to use them against proper targets?

Imho you do more dmg with 12/20p, cause out of those 20 pellets, some crit.
And crit is where majority of dmg for shotguns come from.

I also use majorly 12p ammo @ lvl8 and have no problems at all killing anything yet.

More small pellets = better damage vs non-armored targets. Also somewhat better vs evasive targets.

A few giant pellets = better for punching through armor

20 pellet obliterates squishies.

3 pellet is needed vs heavy armor

You can pick 6/12 for in-between targets.
