Hello. This is a weapon concept that i have been thinking about for a little bit. It could add a spin to game play, for better or for worse. The heavy pump action shotgun. A weapon that can render foes unrecognizable, and leave you with a much bigger ego. These types of weapons would come with a standard archetype of very low rate of fire, max impact, huge bullet spray, etc. Everything that you would expect from a shotgun, but on a much larger scale. Now these types of weapons, would only have one bullet in the chamber, except for the occasional exotic variation. To load a bullet, the gun would split down, like the classic doom shotgun, and you would load in one bullet, similar to the rocket launcher. The weapon would be cocked, then fired whenever deemed fit by the weapons handler. The standard version will deliver one massive damage shot, capable of insta-killing a fully shielded guardian, and most weak enemies. After each shot, the weapon would need to be reloaded again, and fired. Repeat until weapon is out of ammo. Because of this weapon types spread, it is best used at medium to short range. Close up, it can actually tear through enemies, causing collateral. Medium range not so much. Here a few things that could be critiqued about this weapon: 1: Would it be balanced? Yes, because of how slow and long it takes to reload. It would be trumped by rocket launchers and lmgs in pve, but would be more valuable in pvp. It would be a very satisfying to use weapon. 2. That sounds like quite a bit of work, why not just use a rocket launcher? Well, a rocket launcher can not be used in close quarters, for fear of your own death. This weapon would be much better in those type of situations. It is also a insta-kill almost always, with a few exceptions (in pvp). 3. Why not just use the normal shotgun, and pair it with a different heavy weapon? Because no other heavy weapons would act quite like this. It would be a very type of weapon, and would change gameplay around, so i think a lot of content hungry destiny players (me included) would love to use this as a bit of a change. I do have one idea for an exotic variation: The freelancer Archetype: Max impact, slow reload, but a smaller bullet spray. Passive/ already unlocked exotic perk: In the field. After one kill with this weapon, the next reload would be much faster. Does not stack Different roles, that would have to do with this weapon in the next row. Exotic perk: Focus Aiming own sights tightens the bullet spray, helps taking down powerful individual targets. Any other ideas? Critiques? I am very interested to what the community has to say.
