Ultimate Shotgun Overhaul Buckshot and Slugs Rebalance

Ultimate Shotgun Overhaul – Buckshot & Slugs Rebalance

Tired of shotguns feeling like glorified party poppers in theHunter: Call of the Wild? It’s time to put the lethality back into your close-range arsenal.

In the vanilla game, shotguns are heavily crippled by erratic pellet spread, lackluster penetration, and underwhelming slugs. This overhaul completely redefines shotgun mechanics, transforming both buckshot and slugs into formidable, high-impact choices for broadside hunting.

What This Overhaul Delivers

• []Tightly Patterned Buckshot: Drastically reduced pellet spread delivers a dense, devastating grouping, ensuring your shot hits hard right where you aim.[/]

  []Deep Tissue Penetration: Boosted penetration forces across the board guarantee that pellets punch through tough hide to reach vital organs reliably.[/]

  []Complete Gauge Coverage: Balanced enhancements applied across every shotgun caliber—10ga, 12ga, 16ga, 20ga, and . 410.[/]

  []Devastating Slugs: Re-engineered slug physics allow them to hit with the stopping power and accuracy needed to compete directly with top-tier rifle ammunition.[/]

No more relying solely on birdshot or sitting around waiting to unlock rifle upgrades. Load up, close the distance, and experience the true, stopping power of a fully realized shotgun.

Please note that during testing of the Buckshot, I discovered that in some cases, the 12ga causes the game to crash. If this happens to you, you will need to remove the 12ga. The problem is that some people experience this issue and others do not. I have not been able to determine the cause.
