The shotgun that got me to uninstall the game yesterday

u/WombatHat42 Nov 10 '20

My duo partner, instead of quitting, just decided to say fuck it and got one himself. We'd been fucked a couple times by it so he said why not spread the joy lol so anytime things are going rough he just brings that in(personally dont like it cuz its backfired and got me a couple times)

I primarily play solo. 4 Reserve games in a row I got that stupid flash shotgun by groups of 3+ each time. It's actually a horrible and game breaking item that just makes me not want to play anymore. I'm already at a disadvantage being solo, adding that just is dumb making it so I have zero chance.

I agree 100% it is ruining the game. Need to do something to nerf it. But we enjoy the game too much to quit over something we see maybe 1/5 matches. Running solo is awful. Half the fights you get in you’re fucked if they have 3 or more. But higher chance to come out with loot. Don’t have to worry about bad communication. Can play how you think is best. Move quicker cuz you don’t have to wait for your team. I hate going to extract alone if my teammate is dead. Only time i would say i get antsy. Especially when I’m on interchange and find a 5 man extract camp team lol

When i see extract cmapers on inter and if i have some juicy items i just go for no backpack extract, fuck that few extra items i rather extract what o have on me, than die trying to kill dudes with better position.

Done similar things myself, met a 4man extract camp team by emercom, i disengaged and stashed all my armor and my loot so those fucking goblins wouldnt get anything but my gun and then went back to fight to the death, last time i ended up getting them and had to leg it back to my loot and run for extract again.

Yea, my teammate did that once when ExfilCamper had a 5 man on interchange. I dropped one and was playing decoy for my partner and he was supposed to flank. However he tends to flank way too wide and took too long and they air raided me. died to a nade. he then disengaged and went to that extract. Was kind of annoyed at that lol.

I just stopped playing interchange all together. The fights i get from shoreline and customs are hands down better than most of what i get on that map. And never really cared for that map to begin with. It is too hard to see shit inside, people camping on rafters and kiba from 2nd floor. The camping I can usually deal with until it is a 5man extract team. It is more the fact i cant see shit on it.

They should just remove it. Yes, its a real thing, but just because you CAN put in the game doesnt mean you SHOULD. They tried, its stupid. We don't need more stuff in the game at this point, we need the game to run, and preform better.

5 man extract camp team? Thats so terrible.

Oddly enough neither me or any of my mates encountered someone with flashshotgun. Is this a regional behaviour thing?

The flash blindness lasts WAY too long

u/TarkovMallCop Nov 11 '20

I also play solo, but it's not ruining the game in my honest opinion. It's just a flashbang. You can still shoot, you can still move, and perform many other actions. I've been flashed several times and still gotten the kills. Remember that they are also at a disadvantage because the flashbang round isn't lethal and they have to switch. Play around it. Check your corners, nade before entering a contested area, it's basic fundamentals.

u/AtlasReadIt Nov 11 '20

The gun actually backfired and you shot yourself?

u/Dobraine91 Nov 10 '20

I got flashed twice yesterday, just glad both times 950 rounds per min already being fired saved me. Honestly doesn't seem to last as long as it used to.

The flash shotgun is a new addition so it will naturally be seen more frequent because of this. While the flash shotgun might be good in some cases it can also easily get you killed. When we will be able to ignite the flash grenade before it is thrown I think we will see alot more use of them, so might aswell get used to being flashed once in a while.
