In Btanks you have a selection of weapons that allow for a wide range of freedom and flexibility, but I have come to notice that there is no "Shotgun" weapon. I mean yeah, we have guns that happen to shoot multiple projectiles, but it's never more than 3-4.
How I could see shotguns factoring into the game, is that they would at least have 5 projectiles. These types of weapons would fire slowly (much like the speed of basic cannon if not slower), but allow for bursts of damage. They would be great for creeping, but as far as tank hunting, it would be difficult, but not impossible. Though if you're trying to push a lane and a tank is hiding behind creeps, it's guaranteed that the enemy will take a little damage, even through cover. It will falter in CP captures, especially if facing multiple tanks.
Your best bet when using a shotgun is either to stack them, or compliment them with a different weapon.
If there was a shotgun for each stage of the game (beginning, mid, end) I could see their use have these effects:
Beginning game wise it would be:
- Affordable enough to be a starter weapon
- "Better than a multi bow"
Possible names:
- Boomstick
- Bunt Gun
- 12 Gauge
- S Gun/Spread Gun (For the contra fans)
