Overpowered Range and Spread

MW3 shotguns' excessive range and spread often overshadow other weapons, making gameplay unbalanced. To address this, consider adjusting the damage drop-off over distance or implementing a more realistic bullet spread pattern that penalizes hip-fire and promotes accuracy.

Limited Ammunition Capacity

MW3 shotguns suffer from low ammo capacity, making firefights unpredictable. To improve this, increase the magazine size or allow players to carry more shells. Additionally, consider introducing extended magazines as an unlockable attachment to reward skilled players.

Sluggish Handling and Mobility

Sluggish handling and low mobility hinder MW3 shotguns in close-quarters combat. To enhance their viability, reduce the weapon’s aim-down-sight time, improve strafing speed, or implement a perk that increases mobility with shotguns equipped.
