The slugs in experimental 12g shotgun has an issue of exploding right in front of the gun. So in order to used the slug properly, you need to carry additional shotgun. It has been like this AND has been noted numerous time for more than 2 YEARS and it is still not fixed.

I gotta ask, did they even tried to fix this?

Just use birdshot with the exp 12g.

Use the weakest ammo type while trashing everything else, yeah that is the ultimate solution, why didn’t thought of that?

NO need to get hostile how!
We are a friendly community so behave yourself.

And to answer your question they are fixing what has a bigger impact on the Game before small issues are addressed.

Also they are still Humans like you and I
things can be forgotten.

You don’t even know if it’s not just intended.
I live in the believe that it is.
More sense for the birdshot.
It’s just an experimental gun, not a superweapon.

Last i remember from when Pontus was the CM for GZ, he mentioned that this is intentional so dont expect any “fix” for it. This got mentioned in the Discord, im no longer part of it so i cant provide a screenshot either before someone asks for it.

Each of the experimental weapons have their own quirks, and the experimental 12ga has the most potent of them all. Madechaser is right about the ammo type to use, basically take everything you know about shotguns and reverse it with the experimental 12ga pump.

  • Birdshot has the best range, but reduced damage compared to the other ammo types
  • Buckshot has close to mid range, but has pretty good damage
  • Slugs have the best damage, but that target has to be very close for it to be effective, but it does have a noticeable damage difference.

Personally if I have to use a shotgun, I use the sjoviquist (yes, I’m aware I butchered the name, but it’s the 5 round semi automatic shotgun.) With all the shotguns I stick to buckshot, the spread is pretty decent while good damage output and the semi auto shotty can empty the mag very quickly, though I’d recommend just firing the first four rounds and then reloading to make it a quicker animation.
