i don't understand this game, i climb someones ship thats attacking my mates and I and I get blasted 1 shot in the face with the shogun half way up the ship and die, but I shoot other players close range and they live with the shotgun. i just don't get this game.
How do you 1 shot a player with full health?
@o-luna-lux-o said in How do you 1 shot a player with full health?:
The blunderbuss has pellets, you need everyone one of the pellets to hit the target, and since the gun has a massive spread, it forces you to be very close to be effective. Basically, run up and shoot em in the face first.
Thats what I do and players don't die one shot, if they are climbing up they will only die one shot if they took previous damage
@s-v-e-j-e-d-a-n No, they will die in one shot, just wait for them to be almost at the top of the ladder. You literally have to be almost touching them for it to work. The spread is massive and if any pellets miss, its not a one shot kill. It took me a few tries to realize you have to be touching them almost for it to work. Also, sometimes lag can make people seem to "not die" when shot point blank, and here lately I've been getting a lot of lag. Just keep trying, it does work.
@axelvandemberg head shots dont exist in this game. i have done test and confirmed it just on my own

@lowbei yet it doesnt 1 shot when im literally infront of them and cant move foward anymore
uhh, theres no player collision. why cant you move forward anymore? you can literally put your gun inside them and shoot. they will die.
@lowbei i have been blocked by my friend loads of times trying to go downstairs to see the map (sloop)

well, i would ask why your friend stands in the doorway often enough for you to have that as an example. i know theres no player collision because you can literally stand inside people, and see the items in their hands floating.
i have also seen situations where i got stuck by another player in combat. perhaps its combat based collision, and is turned off when enemy players arent near.

@lowbei i mean idk why my friend stands there, i think he is just being annoying
you should find better pirate pals!

just join random crews till you find one with mics who is doing well, then join them. you will have a huge friends list in no time here.

@lowbei thing is, (on current setup at nans) i dont have sound or mic :/
eek sorry to hear that bud.
get as close as possible, press your AIM and shoot as fast as possible... i play with 160-200 ping so is LOT harder for me to 1 shoot ppl, but i can do it very often after some practive, i barely lose on 1vs1 today, you just need to upgrade your skills in real live :D
As I've said on another post about this same subject, the blunderbuss has a unique damage mechanic. Each pellet in its blast, in effect, does the same damage as one bullet from a flintlock. So essentially, if all 8-9 pellets hit then its like being shot by 8-9 flintlocks simultaneously. Thus the one shot kill mechanic that is unique to that weapon. Does it need to be changed? Maybe, but not drastically. I would say reducing the damage by 15% would keep it lethal but not remove its relevance in boarding actions.
