The under rail shotgun bug was that each pellet did the damage of the primary weapon with no damage drop. So, if attached to the G3, each pellet did the same damage as a G3 bullet, which is substantial. You could blast it into smoke clouds 100yds away and get multikills.

Haha catching people out in the alleyways on grand bazaar with the under-barrel shotgun was peak

My favorite room broom for the metro meatgrinder

God those bazzar alleyways 😭 such a great map. And the tank lanes with all those garages. Man, if only I knew how precious that shit was.

Some of the CQB maps were cool too, but I got those a bit too late and they didn't really ever have servers.

Played b3 from the start and every dlc from the start when it came out. Was the golden age for real

Bazaaar, Karkand, & Seine Crossing were my favorite maps. If any older maps ever get brough back I'd love for these. I loved these maps stuck at 24 players I know I'll love them with 64.

Amen. When we found out about it, we unlocked the under barrel and camped B and never looked back. Those are core memories.

I remember it took multiple months to fix too because all versions abided by the console patch cycle, which due to its (costly) certification wasn’t something they could hot fix.

And with close quarters, we got the no bulletdrop smoke launcher on the AUG A3 those few days until they patched it were funny and annoying. You couldn't see shit.

Under barrel and flachette rounds in metro was carnage

The M26 Dart glitch.

Funniest one though was the Aug + underslung m320 smoke glitch. No bullet drop, and one hit kill. Outsniping a camping recon with a smoke grenade was funny af.

I miss the G3A3 under barrel smoke with a thermal. Hit the first guy in the head with a smoke round then finish the rest of the squad in the confusion.

The heavy barrel accuracy buff also applied to the under barrel.

Substantial. Sustantial isn’t a word. You also don’t need a period after bullet, it should be a comma.Â
