Yeah I agree, this feels like an unnecessary change they is only going to reward taking easy shots at the torso in full-auto at very close-range, throwing any precision out the window for a fast close-range elimination. The weapon was already poorly designed and I agree with you that it’s only going to feel worse now, like a fully automatic lever shotgun with even worse spread that expands after each shot.

I’m not going to pick it up because it doesn’t fit my play style and it just feels cheap, and I think Epic needs to address just the general luck-based nature of this weapon. It’s weird.

Edit: by cheap I mostly mean that the gun feels low-quality and is still not fun to use with its extreme inaccuracy, along with the just terribly high body damage that feels unskillful while the headshot damage is barely any higher. It just feels like a poorly designed and dysfunctional weapon whenever I use it. I understand that most shotguns now reward body shots more than headshots now (in terms of incentivizing) and I am against that but the auto is just a bad case of it.
