Shotgun balance

Hello,

I would like to suggest some changes to shotguns.

A few seasons back they had a rework across the board.

At some point the mastiff was even considered the best gun in the game. Now not even close.

My main concern is about the precision of pellets. They tell you: "The problem is on you. You are not precise enough! You have to land the pellets!"

But I feel the precision is not on me, but rather on the spread of the pellets themselves.

□ Peacekeeper: The choke is necessary in order to be precise. In its red tier state was an amazing gun. Recently you had to reduce the damage of 1 pellet for the current 99 maximum damage. The damage is fine, making it one of the best shotguns, but the speed of the choke and pellets concentration should be considered. Make it slightly better.

□ Mastiff: This used to be considered for a season the best gun in the game. Since then, it got nerfed in ways that fighting produces a lot of 32 and 48 damage rather than the upper values that it used to have when it was amazing. I would suggest improving the pellets and pumps to get better damage than 32 and 48. Also, I would like to say to the team that these guns only have 5 shotgun shells, therefore they must be effective in these 5 shots. You can't afford to lose in close range like that. Just do the math. You have to be effective at close range.

□ EVA-8: The damage and fire rate are fine. The problem is that this shotgun, unlike the Peacekeeper, cannot choke the pellets. The concentration of the pellets should be worked out. More precision. That's what's missing.

□ Mozambique: Akimbo Mozambiques are at the moment one of the most utilized guns. I would keep them as is. Keep them good.

TL;DR: Improve precision of pellets. It will make them more effective and consequently more fun.

Thanks for reading, best regards GamesPlayer.

Ciao!
