DP-23 Republic Shotgun Buff

[Marvel]

Name: Marvel

RP Rank: Corporal

Suggestion: Buffing the DP-23 shotgun's mobility

Implementation: Increase the mobility of the DP-23 to 100% like the DC-15s and DC-15a will be.

Lore: N/A

Workshop content if applicable: N/A

Weapons: rw_sw_dp23

Other: Shotguns are small and nimble and are very useless when you run like a fat kid with a 12 gauge. Increasing their mobility will allow the user to close the gap between them and their target making the weapon more effective.

ENG's just got a LOT of new stuff to play with, gonna hold off on this untill we see how the dust settles on that. -1 for now could change if you where to put this up again/if this stays up for a while and we see the ENG buff wasn't enough.

EDIT: After thinking about it and sitting with this I am changing mine to +1.  I think all regiments need buff's to their weapons RN they are kinda overshadowed by the ARC loadout. @Marvel you have my support.

I whole heatedly agree with you that ENG got a ton of new toys but quite frankly this shotgun is kinda ehhhhhh and throughout the server's history shotguns have been really bad (Not looking at you RC Shotgun smh) but there was a suggestion to increase the DC-15a and DC-15s mobility and I believe the DP-23 (Which is the same size as the DC-15s) should have the same mobility as those weapons.

Another point to add is a shotgun is more effective at point blank range and having a bit more speed in order to close the gap between yourself and a hostile will make it more effective and save an Engineer's life. I made this counter argument to see if I could change your mind not argue btw and I respect your opinion and decision.

-1, unless we get all mobility debuffs suggestion pasted I don't think we should have ENG running and gunning. As far as I'm aware they're a more defensive class, using the shotgun to defend themselves when seppies get too close. Eng shouldn't really be frontline unless they're acting as regular infantry which is when they'd use standard equipment.vPlus more buffs is like bruh.

 

Also ARC should be better than everyone else is has a lot more restrictions. As long as they don't just replace certain troop types like they di with HVY all is good.

The mobility advantage is not going to suddenly turn all the engineers who use it into a super aggressive class. The point (of which I am assuming) is that on a shotgun of it's size, the DP-23 has inaccurate mobility. By changing its mobility you are merely increasing its effectiveness in CQC.
