Hoppel had a genius idea to counter the new shotgun turret!

Funny clip :-) The shotgun trap is pretty OP when it can oneshot a 100 HP player wearing full metal armor. I tried wearing a full set of heavy armor and just two shots and I was out, no time to react. I like the firing rate but the maximum damage needs to be brought down. Sometimes you get shot 3 or 4 times and manage to get away with 30-40 HP. That's a bit on the low side again, but certainly better than just one single shot and straight to the death screen. Even the 40 HQM plus two rare component auto turret that spits 5.56 allows you to escape most of the time, and so does the flame turret. This cannon is funny and awesome and also OP. If they could make the damage it deals more consistent allowing metal armor to take maybe 4-5 shots (just over 2 seconds to get out of the way) and road sign maybe 3-4 shots then it'd be a lot more balanced. Also the cost should probably be increased to avoid spamming the thing everywhere. I love this thing and have them everywhere in my base, but it's really seriously OP when placed in the right spot. Also people tend to not just place one ...
