I just made a potential important discovery: the glitch seems to be caused by too much data usage. I’ve logged out of a server with an unloaded shotgun in hand, and when I logged back on to the server, the pellet placement was correct. But as soon as I started looking around, which loaded assets in, the glitch reoccurred.

I will try to test some more when I can in the future and I will list what I find here

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 because all of the shotgun pellets land to the bottom left of your crosshair

There was a wipe for all players and was announced on both social media and in game.
