[quote][i] Rangefinder[/i] -Remove this upgrade/perk from shotguns. It bends the statistics of what a shotgun, and all of its different archetypes should be. This is because shotgun encounters often happen slightly before a player enters melee range, in which this time becomes essential. Instead of using a shotgun then closing the distance with a melee, a player can instead stay at a farther distance and shoot again. The problem is how effective, and frustrating this tactic is. It hurts gameplay and other weapon types such as fusion rifles, sidearms, and auto rifles to say the least. [/quote] Do you understand what Rangefinder does? Most people think it increase the actual range of the gun, but oh they are dead wrong. Rangefinder just increases the consistency of damage falloff over the distance of which the stat allows it.
