Shotgun Range Improver

Description
Tired of shotguns having slightly longer range than melee weapons? This mod adds 50% range to all vanilla shotguns, making them feel much nicer to use.

You're still going to get swarmed by a huge pile of zombies and die, but you'll have a lot more fun blasting them before that happens.


This mod can be added/removed from existing games BUT it only affects the generation of new weapons; existing shotguns will retain their old stats. Ether find a shotgun in a part of the world you have not yet explored or spawn a new one using debug mode.

This mod is for B42 only.

Range changes:

JS-2000: 12 -> 18
Sawn-off JS-2000: 10 -> 15
Double Barrel: 12 -> 18
Sawn off Double Barrel: 10 -> 15

No other weapon stats are affected.

I did some testing with vanilla, no mods, and had the same problem. A shotgun can only shoot a crawler if you get extremely lucky aiming at a point above them at a very specific range.

@Yare Yare if that's the case then the issue is shotguns with a longer range can't shoot zombies on the ground, because all this mod does is adjust the MaxRange stat on shotguns. It doesn't replace the entire weapon script file, it just makes that one specific change via DoParam().

It appears that this mod needs an update since it reverts the bug where you are unable to aim at zombies on the ground that got fixed in the latest game version.

Realistically Shotgun, depending on what shell you use, can effectively hit up to 500~800 meters. I know due to game mechanics all guns have lower ranges from what they should have in RL but idk I felt like being a smart ass umm actually guy today

@zigglata yes, but the other guns don't feel as terrible to me (not realistic, but fine for game-play); pistols are usable at reasonable ranges and a .308 rifle with scope can hit even zoomed way out. Shotguns were the ones I had a problem with, especially since they are the icon anti-zombie firearm.

Can you do this with all guns?

Going to check this out! You should have a look at Retanaru's most recent video "B42 Aiming And Its Problems - Project Zomboid." As always, he did some testing to see how the various weapons are working at present in B42.
