*Key Features
- 3 new shotguns, one at each tier, intended to be used in lieu of the defaults
- New shotguns are supremely accurate, modeling the behavior of buckshot
- Shotguns primarily lose damage as the range increases, as opposed to accuracy.
- Shotguns damage is cut severely when attempting to shoot enemies behind cover. By default low cover reduces damage by 40% and high cover 80%.
- Base damage and Crit chance slightly higher, but the base damage assumes you are at point blank range.
- +1 mobility, to help make up for forcing you to close the distance (2/27)
- Comprehensive Config file, so you can change anything you want about the mod easily. This includes a ranged damage drop-off array.
- No class overrides whatsoever
*Known issues
- It can be a bit difficult to tell exactly how much damage you will do, until you become familiar with the mechanics. This is because the UI only shows base weapon damage.
- I'm just one guy, so balance testing is a bit of a crap shoot. I look forward to feedback, as I will be maintaining this mod. Also this mod is part of a larger game overhaul. I did my best to balance it to fit the current game, but the mechanics are designed for my new version of XCom2. I will balance with community feedback.
- When you go to buy the Shard Gun OH, it show a picture of a mag rifle. Doesn't effect anything, but despite knowing the line of code that sets the picture, I can't get the damn thing to change lol.
