Does the scatter shot have a damage drop?..
How should I explain it?
Like any other shotgun, once its range is enough, it eventualy does no damage. But before that range, there is a bit where its damage is low, but not due to damage over range but due to spread - it shoots i think 8 pellets each shot of hardlight which will spread randomly. At close range you might get 1 shots, yo might get 4 shots. The longer the range, the higher the chance of spread, but the chance of 1 shot just goes to 0.
So in esseence, the longer the range, the less damage it will deal, but its all very random. At the range the Boltshot can make a person 1 shot, the Scattershot might be a 5 shot or a 2 shot or anything in between.
It makes up for it with its fast RoF.

I like the scattershot a lot because it has a much higher rate of fire than the shotgun. My only problem with the gun is that I never seem to get 1SKs, even when I shoot the target point blank. Always takes about 2-3 shots for me to get a kill, even when I’m on point the whole time.
But whenever I have full shields, someone 1SKs me with it. I’m starting to think a lot is dependant on internet connection. Still use it because I enjoy using it, but its frustrating sometimes.
