HZ12 Multi-Action shotgun choke choice

[Impsak_2]

Hi, I think the weapons is clearly missing a choice of choke. A shotgun this advanced you should be able to swithc choke type to a more tighter for longer distance targets.
Similar to HSG-1 in killing floor 1

Ha ha ha! I knew someone would point out that one!

I actually get OP, but let's be honest: most shotguns are already quite accurate in KF2. Way more so than in the first game anyway. Tight choke is already rarely used compared to the extra penetration. I'm afraid a tighter spread or even a slug-based shotgun would turn the support into even more of a versatile perk as it already is.

Because really, the only shotguns that might benefit from a tighter spread would be the boomstick, doomstick and HZ-12. And their sheer power more than makes up for it so... I don't think that would be wise truth be told.

well.. it would just have been a "nice to have" alternate function for the HZ12 in the same way you change other weapons from family to semi.
So all other shotguns are whatever global states... and this can override. either way

In a way, HZ-12's "extra" is precisely the ability to fire two shots in very quick succession. It's almost a boomstick with extra rounds. And considering a lot of weapons don't have anything "special", I'd say it's already fairly interesting.

I'd go as far as to say that the HZ-12 is one of my favourite gun out of the support's arsenal (and considering almost all of his weapons are effective: that's no easy feat!)

Again, I get your idea and I doubt it would ruin the game or anything. Just, I don't believe it was the idea behind the gun.
