He's not wrong, as he said "being". Highwon is working on removing it from the pointshop as well. It all just depends on when he gets around to it.
He mentioned (Highwon) many times he's gonna remove it from the pointshop and as CD mentioned above, when Highwon gets around it. cx
Double Barrel isn't really OP. You have two shots, after that if you don't kill the person you were aiming for you're screwed. Max two kills at one time with the Double Barrel. Each gone is designed for a purpose. I can get 4-5 kills in a row with the AK47 in some situations. Does that make it OP? No. AK47 is for close quarters. It has more range than a Double Barrel but similar damage. Double Barrel is for close quarters, getting a quick kill off, etc.
It's actually a one shot weapon, And the damage is near 135 per direct impact to the chest I believe. But yeah I totally agree. If you fuck up that shot, you're pretty much done for.
Statement would be true if the maps were a big open field. Miss a shot with db? Np-duck around corner, reload, repeat. DB is the main reason why I don't play STTT anymore.
If the maps were more big open field-like for servers with 34 player slots, that'll be chaotic dispute what you believe. I believe the DB is a good weapon, it's like the harpoon, it requires skill. (Sure, a skill that's easily conceivable but still) If that's the only reason you Then so be it. Just know it's been made less available.
Duck around a corner? I've never had someone who missed a DB shot at me escape alive. I've either gunned them down or failed to kill them with my gun which in turn gave them another chance (by failed I mean didn't completely kill them, had to switch weapons, ran out of ammo, etc., not 'they got away'). I've been frurstrated with DB before, but never felt like it was OP. It's a shotgun, it's supposed to hurt. It's effect range is still so short that simply running away if they miss the first shot can save your ass.
I do agree with @Zikeji in that it is not as OP as it was before the various nerfs, but since most of the maps are close quarters anyway, it's very easy to get killed/kills with it.
Especially in the map Terrortrain, i once seen a person get 15 kills just because of that one weapon. Also, you can 1- hit a person with only 1 bullet, by clicking with 1 bullet while reloading.
