The conspiracy theory D in my opinion, is a gun that has several noticeable issues. I don't wish to NERF the weapon, but rather propose options to make other shotguns comparable in utility. The game gives everyone willing to complete the bounty a Conspiracy Theory with rolls on it that instantly puts it in the top tier classification for a shotgun. The shotgun itself seems to have a velocity advantage that isn't exactly detailed in its stats. The damage to range allows for OHK attacks that are noticeably more effective than others. All of this coupled with its ease of obtainability brings up the question, how do we make other shotguns more relevant? Well.. Here's my view. My opinion, I think they should buff other shotguns to compare to this one. It would add variety, they all need a small range buff while conspiracy remains untouched. I'm offering a poll just to see what the thoughts of community goers would be in this subject. I know I'm going to catch a lot of flak with people assuming it's a nerf post, but if you read into what I'm saying you might consider my point of view. Please discuss your opinions. Also, if you have load outs you use to combat the "CTD" effectively, please share if you're willing. Knowing how to set up perks, the weapons to use, and even tactics can really help players out. Edit : Now I'm being called a "year 2 noob", so let me be up front now.. I've been around since the beta. I didn't live on this game like some have, but I do have plenty of hours logged into it. I am in no way a year 2 beginner. Edit : the topic is rolling in comments pretty fast, if I fail to get back to you in a timely manner, I apologize. I would like to actually converse with you about the options if you have an actual conversation worthy thing to say.
