[BOUNTY] Burgess Folding Shotgun

[LukaSlade]

About the PR

Bounty by Nultan!
Adds a new weapon to both the syndicate arsenal, as well as to the maints loot and gamba pools.

Why / Balance

An easily concealable mid-range TC shotgun would be great for syndicate agents. Additionally because of its contra status, if the captain is having a good day, you could even get yourself a permit for it just like a mosin! Having another weapon option apart from the mosin that doesnt directly identify yourself as a syndicate agent could also be cool for the game! Additionally, its a really badass weapon, and is perfect for those who like old earth style weapons!

Technical details

All YAML and sprite. (my copied homework from the hardlight bow)
(also renaming the sprites breaks it help would be very much appreciated if it even matters idk if this place is as strict about that as wizden)

they already got the knuckle dusters

[LukaSlade]

If youre trying to make it like the mosin you should just make it rare (VERY RARE!!) maints loot or something you'd get in a grand lottery crate

Also switch it to major contraband if you decide to do it like that

It's cool, and I like the idea of having a cheap shotgun available, but what does this have that that makes it worth 20tc? Why would I not just steal the shotgun from the maints bar cupboard and make a sawed-off for free? They're half the size, fit in pockets, and can be fired one-handed. I haven't looked at the stats too closely but they're probably lower spread too.

For starters, more ammo capacity, ease of access, immune to roundstart tiders grabbing it, and obtainable on maps with no maints shotty mapped. Additionally, the uplink isn’t new to having equipment that’s effectively just a crew item but in the uplink so you don’t have to go through as much trouble

[LukaSlade]

Other than that it’s basically a sidegrade to the sawed off: less fire rate in exchange for more ammo capacity, accessibility, and general consistency

That's fair, I don't mind it being a sidegrade, but 20tc is steep for a mosin-esque shoddy maints loot weapon. Shouldn't it be around 5tc?

[LukaSlade]

Cheaper could def work but keep in mind it’s a shotgun and is powerful enough to 2 shot in close range, mosin has even more ammo capacity but awful TTK, pricing this as the same would not be fair at all IMO, overpowered

[LukaSlade]

I can see it being like 15-18 TC as a powerful purchase but like anything below that starts taking away from all the other low TC weapons in terms of TTK
