[Feedback] Buff pump action shotguns

529 votes

The new spas 12 and the original pump action both feel like they suffer compared to other shotguns of semi-auto and 3 round burst variety.

the new dlc highlights it a lot for me as the spas 12 lacks a lot of cqc 1-shot potential that the new secondary deagle can achieve so much easier and quicker.

ABSOLUTELY! It's like they haven't even tested and compared them.
Pump action shotguns in this game are SEVERELY underpowered in terms of damage, when they are supposed to literally be the slow guns with high damage.

How is it fair that any other gun can shred a dozer's faceplate (looking at you, M7 Pursuivant) - meanwhile with the pump action shotguns I have to carefully dance around a corner and shoot the dozer over and over again? That's ridiculous.

Adding different ammo types could help alleviate this a bit.

Maybe make it have more pellets per shot, more dispersion and increase the damage falloff since you have to be more careful with your shots in consideration with the reload time. Or add some more interesting attachments like change it to its fire cycle to semiauto or faster pump action, more damage at the cost of range, shorter barrel with slight movement velocity at the cost of stability and ammo capacity OR EVEN BETTER. Add exclusive bonus stats to each weapon to make it more unique rather than SHOTGUN #136. Like more chance to stun enemies, more damage if you hit the enemies from the back or unaware enemies, increase movement speed only if you´re reloading and so on.

Their range should be WAY lower, while the close ranged damage should be WAY higher.
You can currently headshot instant kill enemies at an insane range with pump actions like the Spas - and it doesn't really make any sense.
I would much prefer to have to use my secondary for ranged kills, while I can use my pump action for instant shredding at close range.

Maybe a perk in the skill trees where your damage is increased with Enforcer perk, faster reload (including g launchers).
