Buckshot is bugged
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

Buckshot spread is wildly inaccurate right now, and it doesnt seem to be doing much damage. In both of these clips I am using buckshot and so is my friend.
My friend shoots me with an R12, I shoot infected with a BK-133. It seems no matter what, no matter how close you are to a target, you have to shoot it twice, even if they have no body armor.
Sometimes shots just don't register at all on a target even if you can see them landing against the street or walls. Indicating this is not a desync issue known as "Ghost Bullets".

Before this patch the buckshot was insanely powerful but now the dispersion seems to have nerfed it or something else

After the last two updates, it became impossible to shoot at all. Or rather, you can shoot, but you can't hit. Bullets just started flying to the sides, and we're not talking about the case when the bullet is blown away by the wind when shooting from a distance of 500+ meters, but when you shoot from 10 meters and miss.

This seems like another case of an issue I’m also having, where all of the pellets land to the bottom left of where you aim. You can see the pellets do so in the clip

This is another clip of the issue I am talking about, even at point blank range you have to shoot people twice to knock them unconscious or kill them, even if the are lightly armored of unarmored.

I have also had this problem. I have to shoot a non armored freshie 2 times up close with buck shot to knock them unconscious. Buckshot has become so useless since this previous update.
