Hmm, odd shotgun damage.

Post by **c0balt** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 1:28 pm

Hi,
I am wondering how much damage does the shotgun do?
I allways thought it was 100 if u had no armour, but now I got second thoughts.
I was playing on my regular ctf server and I was gun down by an enemy with a shotgun. I demoed it and watched it over and over in different angles all in slow motion, but I die after 1 shot from this guys shotgun and I have 110 health and no armour at close range. I never believed u could die by one shot from any weapon as long u got 101 health. And believe me I wasn't hit by anyone other than him, pluss he wasn't using quad. I can't figure this out, either the server are running with more damage from some weapons (atleast the SG), or this guy is using some sort of hax. I am gonna post a message on this servers forum site, see if they really do have some special settings for weapon damage.
I have had quite a few similar episodes on this server over the past year, but this is the first time I got it documented.
If anyone cares I could post the demo.

Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks.

If you hit someone in the head I think it does more damage :icon31:

I really hope that was a joke, Anthony.

Wrong. RG does 100 HP damage in VQ3, independent of location.

Vanilla Quake 3, the gameplay you have when you don't load any mods.

Post by **Oeloe** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 12:43 pm

VQ3 is otherwise known as baseq3. The unmodified/original Q3.

Post by **gismo** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 9:47 pm

ah!
But if you hit in the head, you do 100dmg?
Never happend to me...

You got a modified VQ3 ?

For some models the head is actually outside the hit box. Try to rail Keel's head for instance, you'll shoot through without doing damage.

And my question is now : Which model has the head in the hit box ? only orbb ?
