This is a DWP profile that aims to make shotguns better and more viable, while still being fun to use and faithful to their original counterparts from the original game.
I love this remake, but cannot forgive Capcom for what they done with the shotguns here. While in the original all of them were viable and great choices for different play styles, in the remake Riot Gun is way better than the others and what they done with the Striker spread here is dirty. I'm not done with this profile yet, I think there's still space to improve the gunplay of this weapons but for my taste this already makes them more fun to use than the vanilla game while not being too broken and unbalanced.

- W-870 now have the same precision (spread) that Riot Gun, so most of your pellets actually hits what you aiming;
- W-870 now have a much farther range inspired by the original exclusive;
- The center pellet was buffed so gives a bit more damage while the other pellets gives a bit less, this makes the lost pellets less relevant and emulates better the impact and feeling from the original, focus in aiming in the center, this also makes causing damage from distance easier too.
Obs.: The exclusive is more expensive now (80k -> 95k). I found it to be a bit too strong with the exclusive because of the massive damage from distance but also too fun to use. Since this weapon already have a slow rate of fire and reload time I found this the best way to balance it instead of making it worse.
Striker:
Striker is way more precise, having a spread a bit worse than the vanilla W-870. That "simple" change makes it a viable choice of shotgun and (kinda of) emulates the original Striker gunplay experience, now this weapon is great dealing with close combat and crowd control since you can abuse it's rate of fire and great capacity.
Obs.: The Rate of Fire upgrades are 3k more expensive at all levels, I made this cause the rate of fire of this shotgun with the new (way) higher precision is insane, It's worth the investment!
Riot Gun and Skull Shaker:
I didn't change Riot Gun since that already is the best shotgun in the vanilla game. I'm still working on Skull Shaker.
Other:
- All the shotguns now have only a dot for aim since their reticle doesn't reflect the spread anymore (Riot Gun and Skull Shaker included for consistency);
- I removed the randomness of the pellets, I think the spread + recoil is enough.
- This profile aims to improve the gunplay for shotguns while maintaining the intended balance of the game. I tested in both hardcore and professional. Maybe normal and easy can get a bit easier with that profile.
I want to thanks MrBoobieBuyer for making such a powerful and easy to use tool for this amazing game.
