Are starter shotguns removed in infection?

I haven’t played infection since January so I decided to boot up a match today and the map was Bleak rock on Contingency. When the match started I realized very quickly that no one had the starting 5 shotgun ammo that you used to get back in January. There was still shotguns to pick up on the ground but no one started out with one. I also notice that the starting infected don’t get a semi-camo anymore. Is it like this in the infection game mode as well? Or is it just Contingency? Did people ask for this because personally, I don’t like the change?

It’s just another mode, tbh, I don’t think many people like it but I could be wrong

Some maps have starting shotguns. Some dont

you are right, not many people like it. :slight_smile:

It’s kind of random since there are multiply game types. It’s hard to keep track of the different modes since a few very different modes in the ‘infection’ playlist.

Yeah, you guys are all right. I don’t know why I thought Contingency had starting shotguns. I played Contingency many of times, I have gotten 4
Killionaires and all 4 of them took place in a contingency game. but I forgot that you don’t start with a shotgun. For some reason, I thought they just removed shotguns from contingency even though they were never in the mode, to begin with. I definitely understand why a lot of people would hate the mode because it’s very easy to get killstreaks in contingency and the Infected dies a lot in contingency than in Infection but personally, I like contingency more than infection. Tbh I didn’t even know people hated the mode.

Not sure but I have noticed sometimes maps do pop up, there not always the same weapons that I used when I previously loaded up the same map. Though I don’t recall Contingency ever having shotguns at the start but I believe there is a pickup somewhere for one. They do ‘refresh’ the maps sometimes with playlist changes so it’s possible weapons may have been there previously.

I dislike contingency because of how unbalanced it is. To get 100 kills in a game for example should take an incredibly lucky lobby and someone playing out of their mind. On contingency, literally anybody can get 100 kills with enough time and practice. I guess unless you are the zombies on the receiving end of the top 1% players you won’t really notice the unbalance. There’s literally a jorge’s chaingun on one of the maps you can find, and as last man you get 3 hits.
