Alright guys, I’m not exactly sure where to put this topic so I apologize in advance if it’s in the wrong spot(post has been taken down before because it was “clutter” wtf mods). Nevertheless, this needs to be acknowledged. Shotguns in breakout lower the skill gap and allow less skilled players to camp and get kills that they otherwise wouldn’t get. Taking these shotguns out of breakout would be good for the whole community and increase everyone’s skill overall by forcing them to use their magnum. People are going to comment “get better”(obviously), but we all know we’ve died to a random shotgun camper or got sniped from a mile away from a scoped in shotgun. My suggestion: replace it with an SMG like the old breakout. SMG’s still allow for clutch plays since they melt you close range(I tested this, and got a trifecta SMG only), but no one will be able to Blaine you like a scoped in shotty. By the way, the reason shotguns are in breakout are to allow for clutches like superfectas. Taking the shotty out of breakout will allow for team play and increase the skill gap, allowing bad kids to get better or get destroyed. Feel free to post opinions, I’d be glad to hear them. If you want to join a breakout-based company led by me, apply to “Breakout Banana Bonanza”, or message “It’s Promethium” on here or XBL. Some of us still play breakout in 2017 and even though it’s a bit late I would like to see this change.
It was locked because there’s this thread, which is more or less your argument against Shotguns (among other things) in Breakout echoed hundreds of times over.
Anyway, taking out the shotgun isn’t going to improve play that much if camping is your biggest concern. Instead of worrying about getting one-shot by a camper with a shotgun, I just have to worry about being melted by a camper with an SMG.
