I agree, it’s a 2 shot minimum which is awful. Not to mention you’re at such a bad disadvantage at reloading.
Imagine this gun in infection, you’d be screwed waiting for it to reload compared to the shotties in the games before, being able to load 1 shell at a time and managing all of that while being rushed.
I hope they up the damage range OR just making the gun shoot slugs rather than it’s confetti buckshot.
I disagree with this. The AR actually being a useful weapon doesn’t make the Bulldog bad. Someone could just as easily beat the Bulldog with two quick melees. The Bulldog just is underwhelming even at close range. It should be a 2 shot weapon. Not 3-4
Eh, I disagree. i do pretty well with it personally.
To everyone wondering “why they changed the shotgun”, this isn’t the shotgun that’s been in every other halo game, it serves a different function. The old shotgun will come eventually in a future update.
I kind of like the bulldog, it’s unparalleled in close quarters, but you can still do some damage and get a kill on a single target further away if your aim is on point.
I like the bulldog. The issue with it is that it’s not a OHK power weapon like the shotgun of old.
I do want the OG shotgun back, but they don’t need to remove or buff the bulldog, it’s a nice lower tier close quarters weapon that ought to be more readily available.
The AR being such a dominant weapons that everyone spawns with really hurts it in my opinion. It CAN technically kill faster than the AR, but the AR is far more consistent damage wise in varying ranges and can make the Bulldog even more niche than it already was meant to be.
ik lol, they buffed the -Yoink!- out of the gravity hammer, but then made shotguns useless.
You did not shoot a guy three times at point blank and not kill him.
is there any proof other guns are going to be added?
Check the Inside Infinite blogs.
The AR has beat me almost every time in cqb when I’ve had the shotty so I tend to avoid it. And to answer the follow up question, yes I’m bad at aiming.
I’ll just wait and see because if they bring back the old weapons, I’m never touching these new weapons(Bulldog/Disruptor/etc) again.
My first go I couldn’t get a kill. Then today I picked it up durring an oddball game and got a triple kill.
I think there is a bit of a lesson here. We need to give a lot of these changes a fair shake. If you are playing with the bulldog in the same play style that you used with the old shotgun, then yeah, you’ll hate it.
It does kill in 2 shots. It’s only 3 when you’re not close enough to hit all your pellets, or you don’t fully hit with both shots, which is on your own aim.
Also 1 shot + melee will beat double melee anytime, unless you got caught of guard, and failed to react before the second hit in which case that would have happened either way.
The bulldog is a two hit kill or a one hit plus melee. It reaches out longer and tighter than any other shotgun in the series yet.
You are literally just straight up using it wrong.
I do hope you’re right about that; I miss the classic shotgun lol
They’re going to need to fit in more weapons to the current sandbox for 10 years as a live-service game and it is very likely.
You’re just bad. I use the bulldog every chance I get and I wreck with it. It is a good if not great gun for the sandbox. 2 matches in a row I had 16 kills using it.
