Hello everyone, Reiki here

Here's another week of testing. This week we're trying out a weapon that's had little traction as a stand-alone weapon: Burst Shotgun. It sometimes is used in conjunction with the Revolver as an auxiliary pushback weapon, but is it a contender on its own? Give it a whirl this week. Keep in mind if you would take this weapon into a competitive setting like a tournament as is or would you nerf/buff it?

Leave your responses here, hope to see some deep thought on it!

BSG is another version of the Revolver. More range, ammo, firing speed, and less reload time, but falls behind in damage and random spread. The slightly slower movement speed isn't much of a concern. There really isn't much benefit from using this over a Revolver except learning how to aim with one. The Revolver's damage and Y-spread outweigh the BSG's faster speed and reload.

I think this weapon needs a buff. I'm thinking either more ammo, more bullets in spread, or slightly increase damage would help BSG differentiate from Revolver and be more used, or considered used over the Revolver. Right now, it doesn't feel much like a shotgun.

BSG imo is fine its just for some reason the roles of bsg and revolver are backwards.. but its a good weapon i guess people just prefer the more arousing one shots of rev than shotgun

Rev just gets things done and shotgun doesn't. I'm not sure how to explain it.

DON'T TOUCH...MY....SHOTGUN! It's another balanced perfect weapon. If you got the aim for it it's pretty much perfect. I rock the Rev and shotty.

The only thing i would do to the burst shotgun is change the reload to a per bullet system.

Wow holy shit
That would be amazing and now I am extremely sad that it is not going to happen
