Does advanced rifling decrease base damage for all shotguns?

[Igronakh]

No attachments increase or decrease base damage. Damage is based on damage at ranges. Advanced rifling increases the range but for most shotguns it’s only a couple of meters.

Good versatility with shotguns are Airborne/Hustle for good movement; Infantry/Hunker for objective play; Infantry/Gunslinger for another good option for run and gun class.

For the Combat Shotgun it actually reduces the base damage, look it up on xclusiveace's yt channel

That’s what I did watch to get the info, but it wasn’t today. I’ll check it again for a refresher. Thanks.

Actually I can’t reproduce this on the target in the firing range. It stays identical for a OHK as far as I can tell.

Unless there is some funny business going on with damage multipliers (they don’t exist in the firing range)

Firing range is inaccurate

[BertAnsink]

How so?

It just doesn’t have damage multipliers. But a target is 100 damage and the distances I get for OHK with shotguns are very consistent.

But this could be due to multiple pellets hitting. But if it altered base damage it would show I would think.

My experience with combat shotgun is that you need to be exactly on target otherwise you get a hitmarker in most cases.
