The St. Etienne double barrel shotgun already appears in game as the “sawed off” in the handgun slot. However since the allies are the only nation without a double barrel shotgun so the St. Etienne would be a potential option.
While I’m not against it being a event, but wouldn’t it make more sense for it to be a TT gun? Every nation has one for their TT besides the western allies.
Make it a TT instead of an event item. Otherwise, this thing will just give us high blood pressure when opening crates.
Besides, the Allies never got that garbage double-barreled shotgun anyway, so it doesn’t matter if they get it now.
The main thing is how to mechanically buff this weapon.
Personally I’d like to see double barrel shotguns be able to fire both barrels at once meaning they’ll be able to do double damage if the player so chooses.
However, the damage is way overkill, just like the 120mm at BR 2. Any extra damage beyond that is pretty much useless.
What you’re getting at should be the larger area damage from firing both barrels at the same time.
Too bad in regular team modes, you’ll get swarmed and killed by AI right after firing—they react fast enough to take you out before you reload.
Yeah, I think it should get a buff with a significantly faster reload speed.
It might be more fun in solo/lone wolf mode.
Japan has bayonets, Germany even has a third barrel for regular ammo (lol), while the Soviets and Americans seem pretty plain by comparison.
