It’s like god awful untill you get the choke and tac laser which are 21 and 12 respectively so nah I don’t think it’s that p2w. Slugs make it significantly better though

[@EstTide]

😂 that's not how it works

[@MoTivvfr]

@ it literally is. U think a full shotgun shot boutta do 18 damage to the head, it would take 6 shots to kill someone if every single one hit them in head

Could you go after Activision for their sadistic business practices? Joke question😆

[@TheofficialDeannutz]

Here’s the problem with the phrase “PAY TO WIN” is that one the gun is basically free by earning it, you can say that if you don’t participate in the event that it goes away and is only available in the store. I completely agree with that statement but it’s a live service game and you are rewarded for participating in it when the event is active. Two if the gun was bought wouldn’t you want it to be good too? If I’m paying 15 dollars ( a whole hour worth of labor ) I would want the gun to be busted not super busted but definitely worth my 15 dollars I’m not trying to defend the developers for what they are doing to the market but I’m trying to just look at things from a business/consumer standpoint is all. Plus it’s modern day call of duty unfortunately we all know each of these guns if not most will have a blueprint. So why not throw it in the store for people who are “impatient” and don’t have the hours to grind. Also I’m only at 0:49 and I’m writing this while taking a dump in my college bathroom so please take me silly opinion with a grain of salt (please don’t hurt me cod community)

[@Urboyyycarlos]

For anyone curious,the dmg stat for shotguns in BO6 is referring to "Damage per pellet hit" Every other bullet type weapon will have their stat by "Dmg per bullet" I hope this clears any confusion.

They know some people don’t really have time to play like that so they give the option to buy instead of grinding. Least its the way i see it

[@_KyleRC_]

I understand it that way, but I think they should do it after the event. Like, for this one, the bundle should be out for Xmas day and Boxing day, which should be when the event should've ended

@ Bruh whats hard about literally playing the game?Whats difficult about literally getting xp when double xp exists?Zombies exist for the most braindead methods of farming xp. Unless u have little to no time to play this is just an L take from you.

[@x5ilco]

totally agree, the bundles should drop a few days to a week after a the event, to atleast give time to unlock the gun and feel rewarded, rather than buying it and feeling like a "cool kid"

[@xxchazzy20x]

Whatever makes you feel better about buying the bundle😂😂

[@Zoby5]

Another thing to grind

There are multiple items from the event you can only get during the event, so its still worth doing the event

[@MrRuthers]

Still buying bundles, how sad, dude doesn’t have room to complain about cod anymore

[@prinxe_abdou5242]

The fact that the event is based on xp to unlock the gun isn’t too bad. If it was based on challenges then i can see how the bundle would be payed to win bc it would be incentive buy the bundle. But bc you can just play the game to get the items in the event, it isnt that much of an issue. what do yall think?

[@LoganSanders1]

The reason we dont have to spend $50 on a season pass is because they sell stuff like this
