[@phrikaphrak40k]

The Romero being inconsistent is a shotgun problem, not a Romero problem. It's ironic you'd say that because the Romero has the most consistent one shot kill in the game. I've point blank shot enemies In the chest with the specter and missed getting the kill.

[@N0031inq]

difference is that when you use crown and cringe you can just keep shooting so RNG does not matter as much. RNG goes against you using romero? Well you are so slow that someone might just knife rush you. Its also why the rival is so loved before the slate took its place.

[@phrikaphrak40k]

@@N0031inq if you are beyond like 4 meters the C&K becomes a tickle machine instead of a firearm, and it also kicks pretty decently. It also costs like $500. I think the c&k is generally pretty bad, you have to kiss your opponents to make it work. To your other point I'm not a fan of the super slow action speed of the pump guns, being knife rushed in between shots is pretty frustrating. And yeah the slate is pretty busted

[@unifyedunicorn8876]

Yeah, I feel like most of the complaints he had about the Romero can be resolved by improving your movement and positioning differently. You can avoid taking engagements in the "Royally screwed" area without too much problem, once you get into a compound the Romero absolutly decimates enemy hunters. The Romero is one of the best weapons in the game for defending OR pushing a banish site. It's an amazing weapon for solo play, I've wiped so many duos with it.

[@ZwavelAzijn]

@@N0031inq Even though you can keep shooting with the crown and “cringe”, it only holds 5+6 reserve. So if you constantly need more than 2 shots to kill someone with a shotgun, why not just bring a Nagant Officer, New Army, Scottfield Spitfire or even Dolch? You can keep shooting those almost just as fast while being more consistent and ammo efficient. The Crown and King is overrated as hell after all the nerfs

I've had the opposite experience, the Romero hardly ever one shots upper chest when I'm close but whenever I use the specter I can hit someone in the toe and they seem to die. That said, I still love the Romero.

[@apresmidi153]

Not gonna lie I am a big Romero user and I think you are 100% right about the importance of play style in assesing the usefulness of a weapon. It's not an accident that I find myself using the exact sort of tactics you describe in this video most of the time when I play the game. The thing I will add is that I really find myself going to the Hatchet once I have it unlocked since, with such aggressive tactics, melee range is never really that far away and a lot more versatile than the slightly better accuracy of the handcannon. Also...you must being doing something right if Crytek adds a weapon to the game just to spite you XD.

[@Safety_Patrol]

Does the romero handcannon actually have tighter spread than the romero hatchet? They used to have different stats, but in patch 1.4 they both got buffed and now they have the same range/damage stats listed in the store page. As far as I know, there's less decision-making involved than you think; just always take the hatchet instead of the handcannon if you can.

[@apresmidi153]

Let me guess, you use the time they take ti cover and heal after the shot to move into shotgun range. That's a good strategy, and a cheap loadout to boot.

[@Draidis]

Seriously, the springfield deadeye compact is the most underrated gun in the game. Give it some dum dum ammo and it is a beast of an opening weapon. Headshot and they die and the range and accuracy is surprising. Get a chest and that dude dude you hit has like 2 seconds to live or they die from bleeding so you can blast them then push so that they have to engage right before they bleed out. So, this combo is surprisingly deadly when you need a cheap load out.

[@J.B.90]

Play style is definitely key. Not a meme weapon at all.

[@plague1739]

I've been using pretty much nothing but the Romero Alamo since the update dropped. The Romero just feels a lot better than most of the other shotguns the extra range on the Romero gives you just a bit more freedom and margin for error on your positioning whereas the increased pellet spread and follow up shots of the other shotguns gives you more margin for error on your aim personally that a trade I'm definitely willing to make.

[@orn6431]

The main problem i have with the Romero is how punishing it is to miss, it is arguably the strongest and most powerful shotgun in the game but it really requires the user to have good tracking and environmental awareness. I dont use it that much (even though i used to be a sparks user with no life) purely because of how frustrating it is to miss an impactful shot or get killed by the hunter’s teammate. I dont think the gun should be buffed or nerfed though… its still an extremely solid and cheap option that can give you some kills if you play to its advantage

[@itszaque5031]

For 34 dollars its one of the most balanced guns in the game imo

[@valkerionrides9879]

After the recent changes with barrel length efectiving the range of shotguns. The base specter has the same range as the Romero even though the stats don't show it.

[@cassidy8307]

People really overrate its longer range. It's only a +3m 1HK range compared to every other shotgun, and shotgun kills tend to be around 10m most of the time anyway.

[@xornedge8204]

I use the Caldwell double barrel with Flechette. It jusr works 😂

[@itszaque5031]

All it takes to LOVE the Romero is to expect it to take 2 shots to kill. That way you 1) learn to play around the reload and use cover to dominate other players, and 2) you’re pleasantly surprised when it does kill in 1… 😉 In all seriousness it is a great budget weapon, there are $500 dollar guns that are far less effective than it in certain situations. The Alamo is also well balanced, for around $100 you have a slightly slower specter that can still be used to effectively wipe teams, albeit not as quickly as a specter or slate.

[@cassidy8307]

It's not slightly slower, it's twice as slow compared to the specter. Makes the alamo pretty pointless to me, since you only shoot around 0.5s faster compared to a regular romero

[@itszaque5031]

@@cassidy8307 it’s also twice as cheap. I’m not saying the Alamo is goated or anything, a normal Romero is just about as good. It’s fun and funky though, and can still kill people so I’ll take it

[@Kpsla]

The Romero Hatchet with dragons breath is the way to go. It may not have the one tap power that you could have with the full sized romero with slugs, but it makes up for that with the fear you will teach to those unfortunate enough to be set on fire and chased with an axe.

[@Mercurial_Me]

You already nailed the point that the Romero doesn't match your play style. For players who struggle to utilize things like long ammo to their full extent, because they suck at precision aiming (me), the Romero is an excellent choice for perkless loadouts. I personally love to pair it with the Scottfield Spitfire with FMJ. Played aggressively and quickly, this can easily carry you to 5 star lobbies. Something not covered in the video is that if you're bringing along a Romero, you shouldn't be using it as your primary form of aggression. It's a VERY powerful one shot opener that should immediately be swapped after firing to capitalize on the pressure done by the damage (if it doesn't 1-tap). I only have my Romero out when I know it's to my advantage. Otherwise, I'm holding a midrange and fast firing pistol. Personally, my only gripe with the Alamo is that it's a long barrel with multiple shots with access to slugs that requires no traits... Right after they nerfed the slate with slugs for that exact premise... And it's radically cheaper than the slate... We're gonna see it a lot.

Shotguns being inconsistent is a feature, not a flaw. If they were consistent 100% they would substitute melee and other rifles. Although I do agree that not knowing when your going to fail is frustrating.

[@stevencolor3389]

A few notes: The area of useful vs useless is a problem with literally every shotgun (every weapon to a degree) but the Romero gets hurt the least by it. Each shotgun only has a short effective range and beyond that they suck but the romero's tighter spread keeps it more useful for longer. Pellets missing is just the nature of shotguns, since your shot breaks apart you can have all pellets hit the target dealing devastating damage, some peel off making it hurt less or most miss and do almost nothing, the narrow spread of the romaro defends against that more than some other shotguns. The Romaro is the most consistent on a shot per shot bases but lacks the followup if rng did you dirty, back in my BF1 and BF5 days the only shotguns I liked were the double barrels as they were the best blast per trigger pull shotguns at the cost of slow followup shots. While I have not played with it, if the Alamo works like the bow with special rounds you can still have some regular buckshot + some of what you chose and given its faster fire that is not a bad trade off to lose out on 1 extra flavor of shotgun shell.

[@pagorotheshovelgod4494]

[@2ane]

The randomness of the kills with buckshot really goes down if you treat it more like a slug shotgun and aim it instead of hip-firing. Since the spread of the pellets is so thin the romero whiffs a lot more at close range if not properly aimed. Pennyshot helps a lot in this regard, sacrificing some range (although it can still surprise in that regard) for a lot more consistency in short range scenarios. Also pennyshot is a huge help for quickly dispatching bosses. For the Alamo I found it best to just play it like the regular version and enjoy the slight benefit of a higher rof while slipping in and out of cover, it's still way to slow to stand your ground if the first hit didn't kill, swapping to the sidearm also still makes a lot of sense.

Not to rob homereels content but the reason I enjoy each is that the slate is the fastest firing shotgun that still has decent range (looking at you crown and king). As for the new army, it fills a similar spot as the nagant officer as a fast firing, low power pistol. At that point it is personal preference which one you enjoy using more. It can take fmj which is nice, but not really needed if you plan on pairing it with a long ammo gun as a close range option.

Hmm. Your critiques for the Romero apply for all shotguns in hunt - RNG, spread mechanic/guessing, being generally outgunned everywhere except I-can-smell-you range, etc etc. In fact I would say that the Romero does these things the BEST out of the shotguns. So this video feels more like "here is why ALL shotguns in general are inferior to rifles," as any shotgun boy will tell you that there is pretty high variance between the shotguns and when/where each shines. And like I said above, the Romero in fact shines (compared to other shotties) in the very categories you mentioned =D.

[@DXXXVIII]

Actually Shotbolt is the best version out of all shotguns.

[@HomeReel]

I think people often credit the romero with having the most range (which is why I mention it in the intro) but my point is, having 5m of extra range doesn’t really matter when you are hamstrung by no follow up shots, a dependence on your secondary weapon, and no range outside of what a melee weapon could probably get you too (or the other shotguns that can at least fire again). Just my opinion though

I find that the Alamo is just a straight upgrade if you want me to be perfectly honest its only tough in those situations where you burned all 5 shells and then have to sit there and watch your hunter scramble to move the transfer tube out of the way. Regardless the Romero is pound for pound the best shotgun in the game, I see three variants being actually good, the handcannon, the base version and the alamo all for less than $100. The Rival handcannon is $85 and has horrific range, the base Rival is $100 more than the Alamo, the Specters base variant which is how we will base the rest of the shotguns is $188 and the Slate is $250 with the C&K being $600. Out of all of these the Romero has the best range, damage, and spread pattern, the only thing it lacks is fire rate and mag capacity but for less than a quarter of a Slate or half a Specter I'd take the Alamo everyday cuz like HomeReel said its an uphill battle and thats regardless of the shotty youre using which is a problem that I feel like will forever be prevalent in Hunt. See you cant have shotguns be consistent spread monsters right, as in a fixed pattern, that would be stupid. You also dont have an answer to this issue unless you do something crazy like scale the damage to where the hitting pellets do the full damage of all the missed ones too but then that would be dumb as hell at range unless you scale back the damage idk its a big issue but its kinda the trade off of having shotguns in games. You cant make them the hyperlethal things they are in reality because then why use a rifle when a shotgun will do the same if not more damage at 50 yards but yeah the Romero is the best shotty no contest.

[@cr3izien392]

tbf for me the alamo is the opposite and always rather have normal one, more ammo in reserve, more flexibility since Alamo isnt all that faster and you need to play it like normal one, you can also animation skip on normal romero to speed up the reload which cant be said about Alamo.

How to make it work? Bring a Scottfield as backup for longer ranges, fight indoors and/or rush your opponents aggressively. The shorter your Romero is, the more aggressive you gotta be.

Simple, like Two Face's coin toss.

[@DangStank]

I don’t use the Romero often. But when I do, it feels oh so good

[@ondrejvasak1054]

Main advantage of Romero over other shotguns is that each individual pellet does more damage. That is why other long barrel shotguns have 12m kill range and Romero has 15m. And I know that when playing the shotguns, it seems like the spread is a huge random factor, but if you actually replay your hits without kill, usually you'll find out your aim was not quite right and spread had nothing to do with it even if it feels like it did. Getting kills at the edge of each shotgun's kill range requires you to aim almost directly in the middle of the upper torso. If you aim slightly left or slightly lower, you won't get the kill.

The most upsetting part of this video for me is that I found out there was a Blade+Underworld crossover _that was CANCELLED!_ It's now official: _I hate it here..._ ("here" being society, not this channel. Still love this channel)

The Romero is more useful when picked up in response to a situation. Then brought into match with the intention to find the situation.

Romero hatchet is very useful for solo snipers. Can help you push the last one, or stop the team for pushing too close. Plus if you take penny shot you can quickly do the boos and gtfo of the lair and wait for the others.

Great work as always! Keep it up!

[@elileubner949]

the romero is just not inconsistent if you can’t kill someone with it, it is because you missed or you were more than 20 feet away plain and simple if you have to shoot someone 3 times because they aren’t within 20 feet you may want to run another gun im never out in the open i know people hate on shotgun users but someone who’s always being agroed by every monster no matter what i do and not being in the open trying to snipe because of the horrible render distance you can’t blame me for my 1.8 kd

Idk about you man, but whenever I’m having a bad hunt night, I buy a romero and a pax and I go crazy

[@Sip_Dhit]

Hey I think hunt:showdown is the first game I've seen use the Alofs auto reloaded for single shot guns.

[@benjaminb.6424]

Sucks that you can't tell from the bang if your opponent has the fast or slow reloading one.

[@GraduatedPuma12]

Best value shotgun? Caldwell Rival she never lets me down. I only let myself down while using it. Romero for that budget load out though now that's the real money savor

[@chubby33225]

The hachet variant is my favorite

[@tibs1042]

Haven't played for a while and came Back for the event. I was ok with the base romero but the alamo doesn"t work out for me, faster than the normal reload but not enough to use it any different. Although the spectre has and probably always will remain at my side in terms of consistency and teamwipes
