Mastiff too powerful at close range

@LordloshBang Well you've proven that the Mastiff is effective at a greater range than a shotgun should have. That holds very little meaning in a game where a wingman beats snipers at long range and a smg (R-99) is used as a high rate of fire assault rifle.

Even when those 50 damage shots landed the rate of fire was too low to compete with anything. It's a surprisingly high number but a joke in comparison to any gun in the game that isn't a shotgun.

If you want to compare the shotguns then isn't the Eva-8 a low skill spamming shotgun while the Mastiff takes SOME skill to use effectively? In the first video you see the player bobbing,weaving, and sliding while using the R-99 but he stands perfectly still 90% of the time he uses the Mastiff. Seems to imply that he can't land those shots on the move like he can with any other weapon.

With Eva8 from a distance you will get 8 damage at best, while with Mastiff you will get 52, and Mastiff have more range on his pellets.

Eva8 for me is perfectly balanced, and all other shotgun should be balanced towards her. She is good at the right distance, the damage is good, but not too high, as it should be.

Mastiff is a complete beast. And it has high movement speed during ADS, and good luck on kinda close encounters, but not as close for hipfire to even have a chance with AR with that slow MS during ADS.

With an R99 and R301 you have to aim and there is a high chance to dodge if not all, most of the bullets, you don`t have that chance even against a bad aimer with mastiff.
