Since the 1.0 release slugs are incredibly effective against armour. On valley of the dolls my mate was mirroring the door but he made a noise or sth and the 2 guards in the room rushed to the door and pushed it open when he was still in his mirror animation. I shot one slug in the chest of the first one and both fell to the floor. The slug went trough both their vests, killed them both and ended up in the wall behind them. I've mainly been using slugged shotguns ever since.

[@Weneedaplague]

slugs are bugged and reference buckshot stats

In real life, if slug have that kind of effect, it'll be banned. SWAT tends to prefer rounds that could punch through armor but definitely not through several armors that could ended up hurting hostages in the process

[@madaxe606]

I also love shotguns. Ready or Not has some of the best implementation of shotguns in a video game that I’ve yet encountered, but there’s still several areas of potential improvement to make it the GOAT. 1/ Fix that absurdly slow pump cycle for the 870 and Supernova. 2/ The reload cycle seems glitched. I can’t count the number of times I got smoked because I couldn’t abort the reload animation despite hitting the cancel button like a madman. 3/ Single-round, support hand administrative reloads while the muzzle stays on target and the gun remains shouldered. The single biggest advantage of a tube-fed firearms isn’t implement. 4/ A slug select drill for taking longer range shots at need. 5/ Breaching rounds as an equippable and selectable ammo type. Or at least code in that regular buckshot can also open doors, albeit with over-penetration risk.

[@immikeurnot]

The shotguns in Insurgency: Sandstorm are really good, too.

[@wzj7067]

I've barely seen any video game correctly depict the fire rate potential for pump shotguns. It makes sense if pump shotguns do more damage, but in realistic games where the damage depends on the ammo? Still slow AF

[@CalamityCain]

Great comment, man! This is exactly what I'd like to see them update in future patches. Now, two shotguns I'd love to see in this game are the Franchi SPAS-12, of course - always loved its unique silhouette since Jurassic Park. And also the H&K Fabarm FP6, because that is also one cool looking shotgun, that's very "gamey" looking.

[@madaxe606]

@@CalamityCain +1 on the SPAS-12 - such an icon. I'd love to see a Mossberg 590A1 retrograde with the heat shield and wood furniture, just on looks alone.

[@CalamityCain]

@@madaxe606 Yeah, that heat shield look for the 500 series is also pretty iconic, I absolutely agree. Few video games get shotguns right or even feeling powerful, but this one nails it. Now if only the pump-actions cycled faster. My hasty first shot misses get me killed a lot. But there's nothing quite so satisfying like cleaning house (a Voll house) with a pump-action shotgun!

[@EdTheDragonSlayer]

I think the Beretta 1301 slightly edges out the Benelli M4 because when you shoot the Benelli there's barrel smoke rising up that can obscure your vision when ADS, but the Beretta doesn't have this problem so you can put more rounds more accurately downrange. Also the Beretta has remarkably lower recoil.

[@rileyp1419]

I have the 1301 tactical, it weighs less than the benelli and the trigger is amazing.

[@cyberdyne3442]

Shotguns are my go-to when i don't care about score and just want to have fun. The sheer power and the result on enemies when firing is extremely satisfying lol

[@tnh723]

I love your video. Ive owned a Benelli M3T for 14 yesrs, the top folder. And in that time, not a single tactical shooter game has justice to the raw devastation a 12 gauge can unleash.

[@canalalternativo5790]

There's also the Saiga/Vepr-12, it was in the early stages of the game, but there's a mod that brings it back to be a useable gun in the current version along with other guns that were present in the alpha/beta

Love the editing and montages you added for this tier list. It's getting better over time! One thing that you missed on the breaching shotgun that I love doing is that you can destroy wooden doors with it by blowing off the hinges. You can see it at 10:24 on the right side that it is an intended feature. I love using it to get rid of wooden doors that block my line of sight like the streamer apartment where both the bathroom and kitchen door can get in the way of entry. It may not be practical to getting into a room but seeing how it completely disintegrates the door and then my team makes entry looks cool AF

[@julianscomposer]

Shotguns are mad undervalued in RoN. They're great on Relapse and Caesar's Car Dealership, hell any mission where the bad guys aren't heavily armored. Also the Supernova better be S Tier.

[@SovietYunyun]

And when the bad guys are armored, you just bring a shotgun loaded with slugs, because shotgun slugs can actually penetrate armor, body and soul of every bad guy you meet.

[@hquwhjher]

Even on a mission where the guys are heavily armored (Neon Tomb, Ides of March), they're still mad valuable, due to them stunning the enemy a bit. If all else fails, turn the man's head into cave paintings or their arms/limbs into tree stumps.

The 870 with the magpul built in flashlight is much cooler. The one in game protrudes out to much. Also the reason pretty much all of the agencies in the US use the regular stock is because it fits all sizes fine. And officers are not trained to use a shotgun with that pistol grip.

[@Bandito7537]

For me the Remington 870 CQB beats out the Super Nova simply due to reload time. When reloading a completely empty 870 and Super Nova, the 870 finishes in about 3ish seconds faster than the Supernova. This is simply due to the fact that the reload technique and reload animation on the Remington 870 is much faster than the super nova. To me, reload time and keeping a shotgun fed is the most important. This is also why I prefer the Benelli M4 over the Beretta 1301. Both are insanely good shotguns, literally interchangeable in every situation and would provide the same performance. However in ready or not the M4 uses the same, faster, reload animation as the Remington 870 CQB, which is why I prefer it.

Shotguns were especially popular (but still are, out of familiarity and the fact that departments already own them) with police because they were widely available and cheap. Most of the widely available long arms back then were for hunting, ie bolt action rifles or shotguns.

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

Shotguns are still extremely affordable for the level of reliability they offer. After handguns and tasers, a frugal police department's next purchase in firearms would be some Maverick 88's or Stevens 320 if they can't receive any hand-me-downs, two of these costing less than a single one of the most affordable handgun you would have the decency to equip your officers with and with an expected lifetime of about twice as much.
