what if the breaching shotgun could be used as a weapon? so you can blow the locks on a door and keep the shotgun equipped in case someone comes through?
I remember in Door Kickers 1 that you could use normal shotguns to open doors and use it as a weapon; its not super realistic to open a door with buckshot but it still could change up the gameplay loop. Maybe there will be some changes when they add doctrines to the game like in DK1
I do agree that it needs some changes, like with needing one shot would be similar to the doctrine where you can breech with one shot rather than two shotgun blasts
Interesting videos you put out, I like it. Some breaching methods are just bound to become meta and others fall behind unfortunatly, same for weapons and gear that get barely used. The gap between them is just too big. The only case where a breaching hammer is a better choice compared to a slap is the suspicion there might a hostage ( that'll probably survive the blast ) or a bomb behind a door ( which will explode ) but that's very rare, although I had it happen recently. I like to sometimes use shotguns and hammers for variety's sake, and they have their niche. But it's a weird thing to balance in terms of gameplay honestly.
Slaps are so stupidly meta that I hardly ever used anything else until I started doing these videos. Plus the slaps AOE is so small there is effectively no risk of collateral damage. The hammer is pretty nice for the initial entry since its quieter and less likely to alert enemies than slap charges or shotgun, so you can save an extra charge; I think if locked doors were more common then hammer and shotgun would be more useful options; for instance in Ready or Not locked doors are super common and I'd say other than a GL the breaching shotgun is very meta
@@RoninFoxGaming The amount of locked doors is very dependent on the map but in my opinion too many of them slows the gameplay too much and doesn't make a lot of sense in most cases. And even then slaps would still be the go to breaching method for the majority of DK players. Another use of the breaching shotgun I can think of would be to distract the enemy and possibly make them investigate the sound while you try to flank themwith others troops. It's a valid strategy but it's very situational. Sound plays a big part in DK and it's really fun to play with to gain the advantage in combat.
@@GanjirahTheDoorKicker Totally agreed; Definitely though the most fun part about doing these videos is finding weird and different ways to play the game

assault loadouts next time?
I already did that one lol
In short the M4 with M855A1 is your all around workhorse and the Mk17 will be the best for dealing with armored enemies
@@RoninFoxGaming wait what the f*ck. Gotta find the vid I guess xD
I feel like they abandoned the game completly
