Idea Shotgun Slugs

In real life, there are two types of ammo for shotguns: shot and slugs.
Shot is what we have in War-Z. Slugs are powerful shots that don't spread.
I would like to see slugs added to War-Z.

Method 1- Slugs and shot come from the same shells. The more powerful no-spread slugs come when you scope, the shot is from hip shots.

Method 2- Shot and slugs are different types of ammo. There's a method of choosing which ammo you fire, probably the aiming mechanic described above.

A slug would be as powerful as if you were hit with all of the missles fired via shot at once. The downside is the fact that the slug has no spread.

And before you ask, yes, this was inspired by the shell-farming glitch.

 

Well, the "concept" of the shotgun stems from real life shotguns, so I'm not seeing where you're going with "ruining the concept" when slugs are in real life.

And yes, it's more powerful, but it's also has zero spread.

 

Hmm... maybe a different strength, for example, slugs being a stronger-but-not-automatic rifle shot?

 

Well, maybe adjust the strength down?

Or- here's a better idea- since we can make this an entirely different type of ammo, let's make slugs rare.

 

Sounds about right, and since shells are usually in 'clips' of six, how about 1/6 the rarity of golden apples for a pile of 6? (or 1/7, w/e)

However, since they're so rare, zooming in as a switch wouldn't be practical, because it'd mean you could never use scopes on a shotgun.

I say we make it so it wants slugs as ammo first, and if that fails, it looks for shells.
