Dragon's Breath rounds SUCK | Forums

After using them on both of the default shotties for around 50 kills each, I can easily say that they disappoint. Standard buckshot will almost always kill in 1 or 2 hits out to medium range using my setup, but these things take atleast 2 shots in close quarters, easily 3 or more a bit ****her, and unlike buckshot, they disappear at range. I can VERY occasionally get a 1hko with them, but that is very rare. The DoT is very short as well, only like 2 seconds, and rarely kills the enemy. I am a shotgun only engineer, and this disappoints me, considering the fire they leave is so cool. Any other thoughts? Also, I just unlocked the m1014 and mts 255, how are they in MP?

Well they do less damage because they burn the player causing more damage. They're more of a "I'll shoot you and run away while you burn to death" round.

The mts 255 is a monster. I havnt leveled up my engineer at all yet but I picked up the 255 when I ran out of ammo and got me about 6 or 7 kills before I got taken out. I like it

I have 850+ kills with dragons breath, I think a few of them may like a word with you. dragons breath in a semi auto or full auto shotty is absolutely beast, the pump actions really aren't worth using at all.

With semi/full auto the difference in damage isn't very noticable, but the tactical advantage will be. You can easily pop one or two rounds into a target that you normally would not be able to kill(either running to cover, killed you, etc) and it can sometimes be usefull for area denial. Pop a few shots on the enemies cover and they can get burned, or leave a smoldering corpse on the objective they tried to take for another free kill. If you have an ammo box near you, you can unload on an area and stop people from crossing an area.

Just be careful though, if the person you shot falls on you, or you have to walk over them you CAN kill yourself. Ive already had a flaming corpse fall on me, as well as cooked myself when I tried to re cap an objective covered in flaming corpses.


Its kind of my thing now, to try and kill someone using fire instead of the actual pellets. I call is slow roasting, Ill put one or two into someone, call out "slow" then run away. As soon as I get my fire kill I call out "roast". Everyone who catches on to what I am doing laughs their head off.
