What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Add a shotgun that uses Slug rounds instead of buckshot rounds. I'd recommend to balance out the Slug shotgun to make it like the beanbag shotgun but without the stun. Make it do 50-60~ damage to armoured and 80~ damage to unarmoured and 100-120~ damage to SCPs at most ranges but with a long load cooldown (0.8~ seconds) and a 3 shell magazine. Of course these numbers should be balanced with testing to make sure its not blatantly overpowered.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not as far as I'm aware
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Allows for a better shotgun, as the Spas is NOT worth keeping as a perma over something like the flatline, famas or ASVAL but I feel like a Slug Shotgun could compete with these META guns.
It can't be that hard to code, as all that needs is just copying the beanbag shotgun with a few damage tweaks and no stun mechanic.
It would be pretty powerful against humans but not that impactful against SCPs, which I think is a fair trade-off. Or it could be tweaked to be the other way around.
It could be tweaked to not be a perma and instead be a role-specific gun.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Unbalanced damage numbers could make this disgustingly powerful.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
A new and unique shotgun could be really cool to work with, as I don't think the SPAS is as good in gun to gun combat (bar from D-class and surprise attacks) than the ASVAL, flatline and other really good guns. And if there's ambiguity in if it's overpowered or not it could always be put in a trial period. I don't see MUCH harm in atleast trying.
