About this mod Machine translation
By further tightening the range, the combat shotgun becomes a more valuable alternative to the tactical shotgun.
In terms of weapon balance in L4D2, the combat shotgun has always bothered me. While I feel that pump shotguns and chrome shotguns are perfectly complementary alternatives, I have never found myself using a combat shotgun in a situation where a tactical shotgun presented the opportunity. Let me explain. . .
Both the Chrome Shotgun and Combat Shotgun fire 2 fewer pellets than their alternatives, but deal increased damage per pellet. This reduces combat effectiveness against hordes, but the average damage against a single target is almost the same. Additionally, the weapons have a tighter dispersion pattern than similar weapons, making them better able to deal with long-range targets.
However, when you run the numbers, a problem arises - the Chrome Shotgun and Combat Shotgun's maximum damage per shot is reduced by about 25%, but the Chrome Shotgun's range is reduced by about 60%. However, the Combat Shotgun was only reduced by about 10%, causing a damage loss that was more than the trade-off.
This mod simply reduces the spread of the Combat Shotgun, making it more in line with the Chrome Shotgun.
