Increase shotgun damage.

I think shotguns should be able to one tap an enemy if hit from close range to the head. In current stage of the game, shotguns only do about 40 to 60 and most of the time even 7. 7 damage is worse than a pistol. It does 100 sometimes but its rare. The minimum damage should be 70 at least.

    Shotguns do the most damage in the game when compared to all other guns. You can one shot players if you headshot them, very easily. Shotgun damage needs a decrease, not increase. Game shouldn't be about who finds who first. It should be about who can shoot better. Why when a new game comes out, players try to make it similar to another game? I don't want another fortnite. SMGs are useless as it is, why amplify this imbalance?

    LOLZ WTD XD. You. Are. Amazing. Scour the forums just to find out how many ppl want the shotgun (I'm assuming you're talking bout the peacekeeper) to be nerfed/removed. You actually want to make it (more) OP XD. I'm right with you man, they should totally buff that thing even more. Make me more of a beast than I already am with it XD.

    But as an experienced Peacekeeper (see what I did there *eyebrow thing*) I can tell you that from close range you don't need to shoot at the head, cause if they even move a lil, it's not a 1hit kill if your shot isn't lined up properly. It will, however, be the case if you shoot at the chest. If you or the target is not moving at least. It's definitely not rare to get the 100dmg, I usually get it close range, depending on factors tho. I've gotten 7's too. Sometimes I get why I got it and sometimes I don't, but I've encountered really low hitmarks from shotguns in alot of games. At the end of the day you just gotta deal with it.

    And to be serious for a sec, no they definitely don't need to buff the shotgun. I just want them to fix the inconsistencies of the weapon... hitting a guy square in the chest from 5m nets me 48dmg, as he runs away and he's further and I'm at same position I suddenly hit the guy 64dmg... that's just weird.
