Yes it’s another one of those threads. However, these aren’t too far-fetched ideas and would be reasonable to implement.
So first, addressing the issues people have:
-The OHK range is too far
-It functions like a magnum in that one headshot w/ no shields = kill
-Quick Reload Glitch
-OHK is a OHK all together
-Overpowers power weapons
I think that all of these (excluding the last one, maybe) could be solved with one of two easy fixes. I feel these fixes would please everyone.
Either:
<mark>Decrease the amount of ammo you start with for the boltshot.</mark> I don’t have an exact number, but you have quite a few potential OHKs with the starting amount of ammo.
<mark>Decrease the magazine size. Keep the amount of ammo the same or reduce it slightly, just make one charged shot make you reload.</mark> I feel this is reasonable. Of course, the instant reload glitch needs to be fixed first.
What hasn’t changed:
Boltshot is still OHK and will still compete with the magnum and PP
Boltshot still has the same range
As of now, I would agree with the term “Pocket Shotgun”. However, that’s what it was designed to be. Putting some restraints on it would keep both demographics happy in my opinion.
