Please nerf the paintball shotgun.

That weapon is the only reason I dont enjoy playing paintball. it's easy to use, easy to tag with and can be coupled with a shield to make someone practically immortal (only dying to grenades which they often camp/trigger to prevent such an outcome.)
I'd personally nerf it by requiring it to be pumped manually after each shot and reducing it's range, mainly to make shotty shielding harder to do and overall reducing the weapon's power. The same reload mechanic could apply to the sniper with it's bolt if you wanted to go that far.
I'm only really saying this because I avoid paintball due to that one gun being the meta. LT is much better because any gun can outplay a shotgun if you have the hands to match it and overall, LT just feels like it's more balanced and open compared to the '1 gun fits all' meta of paintball.

As someone who only plays paint ball on this game i have ended up becoming really good at it. One of my main guns I use is the shot gun because I like to rush and play aggressive But I have noticed that the range I can hit outs on players with is insane Range I think its a bit to far As someone who plays Both VR and desktop Paint Ball I feel like its more of a problem in desktop mode but still op in vr as well here is one of my games using it and you can see how the range is a bit to op for the gun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTx7lMj15QQ
Also provided screen shots of games I did over the last 3 hours showing how op it can be if someone learns the spawns and also knows enemy spawn points
I think it would help to lower the range on the shot gun

This happened, but it was a VERY tiny nerf. :/

Personally i agree with this. I literally refrain from using the shotgun because i find it to be too over powered and i dont want everyone else to lose fun in the game while im playing.

Maybe for a nerf, have the paint balls come out at a similar velocity as the Pistol. This way it’s not as much as a “hit scan” weapon.

I don't think it should be changed, and when you say the shield make them invincible that is not true, I die with that combo all the time.

Jeremy Kiley: The players who jump and squat etc. (aka the real try hards) are un killable. The Average Joe like myself won't even come close to that kind of brokeness

Nice one! Next season of PBL should be even more epic with this monstrosity nerfed.

This weapon does not need a nerf. It's so easy to combat. Players just need to play smarter.

Ashy Larry: Exactly
