Buckshot Missing

Post by Wubs4Scrubs » 04 Feb 2017, 01:13

Summary: The entire point of buckshot is that it is impossible to miss, given that you're firing a shit ton of pellets at extreme close range, that being the case it should be impossible to miss right? I've seen aliens dodge 2 or 3 different buckshot spreads (one buckshot round fires a few "additional" buckshot) at once.

Benefits: Would buff buckshot and make it so that you wouldn't get BS messages about how an alien somehow Neo'd around dozens of pellets when they're standing 5 feet in front of you.

Details: If one of the instances of buckshot spawned when the shotgun is fired makes contact with an alien it should automatically hit, not bypass armor or anything but just not be able to miss. I'm also not saying that all of the instances should be able to hit the same target, but if one does connect it should't be able to miss.

Buckshot is a spread of projectiles, so not everything will hit. Buckshot is often the go-to ammo of choice for the shotgun, and I do not see a reason to make it even stronger. Denied.
