    Well for one, this game isn't available for those who play on the PlayStation. Two, shotguns are meant to be OP in close quarter combat. Three, I have seen some suspicious stuff from PC players but once the Xbox Game pass free trial users die off it should get better.

    @rk-deadstick isnt there an option for console players to use mouse and keyboard too?

    All you have to do is move inside the enemy hitbox and fire. All shots will connect. So go around a corner, have em chase you and run into them and fire.

    Or just utilize peeker's advantage that is prevalent in any online FPS game.

    The blunderbuss is overpowered but not for the reason you specify. It's not overpowered because PC players use it (that's a stupid argument in and of itself), rather that it's OP due to it outclassing the other guns in terms of kill potential and ease of use. It has nothing to do with the wielder itself and everything to do with its function.

    The shotgun is broken in many ways, I had many situations were I hit my opponent 5 times straight without him eating a banana and he hit me twice and I was the one biting in the seagrass, its just annoying that in this game, the winner sometimes is the loser for no reason!

    Shotgun could only 1 shot if it used buck shot, in all other cases it must deal multiple crew damage and not 100% direct damage.

    The shot gun also eliminates sword fights as well.

    Dont agree with this at all, I use sword blunderbuss and I switch to my sword after I shoot pretty often. You just have to get far enough away by the time they reload if they also have a blunderbuss

    Negative on the nerfing. You cannot do any damage after 10 feet without a random shot hitting someone for little damage.

    You have go to have the blunderbluss resting against your enemy essentially in order for it to kill with one shot. You've got to be super close. If you're fighting against someone with one you just have to make them waste their shot by hopping around and dodging then charge them with the sword. If you're fighting someone with a sword and you've got a blunderbluss you better be a really good shot or use the captains cabin as a choke point or something.

    @rk-deadstick Rare should just raise the HP for everything. It would make the battles between players more fun and make skeletons a challenge because ATM they're a joke. One charged attack can take out multiple regular enemies at once. Honestly, it's almost like Call of Duty. Which isn't good when it takes so long to respond.

    @chieftommeh You clearly didn't get very far with skeletons yet, as soon as you're gonna be fighting overgrown, shadow or golden skeletons that charge attack is no longer a one shot. Even normal skeletons become tougher after a while.

    Oh and as soon as there are a few skeletons with guns (blunder or pistol) they can very quickly kill you. So giving the player more HP will only make it easier fighting skeletons.

    10 feet? no.
    op? yes.
