Give shotguns a run speed buff

[RokRoland]

I know it’s a bit far fetched, however everyone who’s tried the shotguns in game feels they are very situational and often a waste of a weapon slot, which is incredibly bad if this is the only weapon you are carrying.

Anyway, running around with an officer sword - which, for some reason has a run speed buff - gave the idea, that shotguns should have the same effect. Why? Well, it is kind of useful to get up close with a shotgun, kind of like a sword. Is it realistic? Not really. Would it help to make shotguns more popular again? Perhaps.

For reference some earlier topics on this issue. One of the good points is that if bronze weapon drops are removed, nobody will ever use a weapons order for a shotgun ever again.

Another patch and shotguns remain useless

At this point everyone that has played the game for more than an hour know how bad double barrel shotguns currently are, and for no reason. Would you please buff them back. Honestly why where they nerfed in the first place?, They where pretty much a side grade to the starter bolt action rifles.

Make shotguns usable, or at least remove them from the bronce weapon supply order rotation

The only thing more annoying that knowing that we used to have well implemented double barrel shotgun than then got nerfed to oblivion, to the point only new players trying them for the first time use them, is that they throw that fact on your face when getting weapons with bronce orders, I rather get a grenade or a medkit than a shotgun. At least the other two are useful.

I’d rather see a revert of a stats nerf, shotgun was a nice weapon in Berlin OBT. Only keep them limited to assaulters, at least for some time, to not overbuff them.

I don’t like the idea of magicall +X% more move speed because you have an enchanted weapon. (Soldier movement seed perk makes sense as such result can be acheaved via training.)
I’ll have to check this oficer sword you are talking about

PS.
About officer sabre:
28s rifle vs 24s sabre
Also it seems that sabre gives about 5% stamina more (more or less).

To me they just dont make enough damage. When I shoot and hit someone I want to see him dead when I only have 2 rounds.

r/enlistedgame - normal sprint speed VS sprint speed with sword +15 sprint speed

They already went with the “+2 Long Sword of Haste”, it seems. The Pandora’s box is open already.

If I were to choose the all the run speed / sprint speed buffs would be gone. But I don’t.

Then say that you don’t like it instead of sugesting it.
It’s beta stage of the game (officially). So they can change things as they wish, even if they are alreayd in game.

Honestly shotguns just need to BEHAVE like actual shotguns do IRL then this woulden’t be an issue. im tired of games that make SMGs better than LMGs and shotguns. shotguns for the most part have ranges IRL up to 80 meters of effective range with 00 buck and have REALLY TIGHT spread compared to what video games would have you believe, even sawn off shotguns the spread isn’t as bad as they are in video games. With rifles in Enlisted being the way they are I wouldn’t be opposed to shotguns getting this kind of buff. the Double barrel shotgun ive unloaded both barrels at point blank range and it didn’t even slow the germans down! which makes me wonder WTF WENT WRONG!? Sure shotguns have that “spread” which gives them more room for error than say a rifle. but basically what 00 buck is, is 9 30. caliber lead balls 30. caliber being the diameter of most WW2 rifle bullets and other rifle rounds.

including but not limited to the 7.62x39(the AK 47s bullets) the 30. carbine, the m1 garand, .303 british, 8mm mauser and while different powder loads can provide more or less power, especially at range. 00 buck is nothing to F with. As anywhere from point blank to 80m out YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL IT. Also bolt action and semi auto rifles are good enough as they are and instead of nerfing them I think we just need to buff other weapons.
