I cant wrap my head around what just happened , I spent my last 500k on this run yet again and it was AI that did it not a player. 2 shots and everything was black wtf is that

 

I cant win at all in this game, every single time I go in geared I get fucked

Buckshot

Don't expose your entire body and most of all, shoot the scav before he shoots you.

If your legs get blacked out and then you get further damage to the legs it will start damaging the rest of your body. 2 shots from buckshot might be able to black everything out.

He is not giving you false info, buckshot shoots 8 pellets each doing at least 35 if not 50 dmg per pellet so do the math, 8x50 is 400. you get point blank hit, a choke is used, whatever the case is and you eat those pellets you are in serious trouble. I do not mean to attack you, I am pointing out that shotguns are no joke (close range even to medium) and not to be taken lightly. Hell one of the best rounds is the flechette 12/70 round that just rips through armor like it is paper. 50m is not 'long' range for a shotgun and I think a lot of players take for granted just how nasty they are as they run meta Vector builds when a 153 with a choke loaded with flechette will destroy a player even in class 6 armor, I call a 153  preset literally Death to Killa.
