Currently, shotgun is a very unused gun, weakened by previous damage nerfs which made the gun very unused:

Userstats currently shows that Shotgun is the 12th place gun when it comes to kills.
Why I believe the gun is bad? Well as I said it got nerfed in the past but it did not get balanced with other guns, it just got shoved into the unused guns, making it useless for damage pretty much.
Instead of buffing damage, again, I thought about this, what about increasing the clip (magazine) size to 6 from the current 4? If the gun is weak due to damage, at least it can get an increase in clip size by 2 to give the gun a fighting chance against combat shotgun which is basically the best gun in the game right now. Might not be a definitive change, but it's a start to balance a forgotten gun. There's nothing much to this.
Let me know what you think.

A small buff to the weapon to make it join the comparison with other shotguns is not a bad idea. Positive

Absolutely.
I am voting positive on this suggestion.

I always play with the shotgun and would really appreciate such a buff, positive :tick:

I honestly thought those numbers would be higher, I remember a time when a lot of people used the shotgun, and it looked good, but then it went through some nerfs. I think increasing the magazine's size could make a difference, but how's it's damage nowadays? At the moment, I use the sawed-off shotgun with 2 slugs instead of the dual with 4 because it allows me to reload faster, resulting in actually doing more damage.
I would love to see something similar with the shotgun, if it could have multiple options to craft on F9 that would let players decide if they want more ammo (6 slugs as you suggest) or faster reloading and maybe faster aiming. And I suggest faster aiming because the Shotgun firing rate is slower in comparison to the Spas-12, and probably does the same damage. So, why not have an option for faster-reloading and faster aiming, it could have fewer slugs than the option for 6 and also get it some use. Either way, I vote positive on this suggestion, hoping to put the Shotgun to use if this gets accepted.

Possitve . Really shogun need to be fix .. with 2 more ammos I am with it. It will give us a chance to use it again.
-
Positive :tick:
Atm shotgun its basicly trash :kek2: so yeah a buff in mag size maybe its enough to make it a litle bit better, also we could take a look at dual pistols(make it a litle bit more useful) atm they are bad too and nobody use it at all
-
Sounds like a decent and simple buff that for sure will help this gun get some more well deserved love so im voting Positive :tick:
-
Shotgun may be insufficient in some cases, I think it will be at an adequate level thanks to buff, positive.

:tick: Positive
All weapons should be somewhat balanced. It ain't too cool to have such useless, nerfed weapons.
-
I didnt see that gun used of any players right now, maybe buffing it is the way so players will use it again :tick:

I used to shotgun before it got nerfed and I wanna use shotgun again because its really underrated weapon, it needs a small buff to be honest. I would like to see people using shotgun again, therefore I am positive
-
I don't see anyone using a Shotgun currently so I think increasing the buff of the Shotgun will be a nice idea. voting Positive
-
Personally I like the four round magazines of the shotgun.. if it was a six round gun wouldn't it just be a worse combat shotgun? I think it would make things more interesting if the damaged was buffed so that each shot counts for more but every miss is more costly.
I also like the shotgun just for roleplaying reasons which exceeds it's value to me as a powergaming weapon like the combat shotgun. I would actually even be in favour of making it pump action but with much higher damage rather than increasing the clip size as we do not currently have access to a pump action shotgun
I just want to use skin id 161 and Rob stores with a pump action shotgun :'(
-
I totally agree, shotgun is unused and such a small buff is actually needed. Positive
-
Weapons should be balanced so more options can be added to the players. I don't see anyone using it nowadays, this will bring it back to be used. I'll be positive.
-
The shotgun is a unused gun and needs a little buff to be used again and I think this will help it become good again. :tick:
-
That's would be a great solution it's very rare to find someone using shotgun also it's useless you don't have Chance in fighting against Combat shotgun user I support your idea positive :tick:
-
I'm totally positive with this one as I didn't see any single player playing with shotgun.
It would be a third option as a shotgun to play with it if we buff. :thumb:
