Longer Shotguns

What's the point of a gun, even a shotgun, if you have to kiss your enemy before you can fire?

In the current state, a great many 5-range weapons, those that follow the 'shotgun' accuracy template, are crippled by having optimal range of 2. Any melee unit that you shoot at without accuracy penalty is in range for a triple melee attack on you. This makes shotguns really bad, both for stopping melee and also shooting at ranged enemies.

Note: This mod does NOT give extra maximum range to shotguns. It increases the optimal range, the range before you start taking 'long range' accuracy penalties.

Long range accuracy modifier:

So shotguns and many weapons that share their accuracy stats should be slightly more accurate at their longer ranges, which should help them be less vulnerable against proper melees and less inferior to standard-range alternatives.


Update notes 10/03/2020:
The update broke the mod due to it changing the accuracy file to insert the new Purifier's version of the shotgun. Re-did the changes, should be the same as before.
