(Balanced + Experimental settings) SG-8S SLUGGER v1.0

A Mod for Helldivers 2
(Balanced + Experimental settings) SG-8S SLUGGER akl_mod_preview_image
Makes the slugger a LOT better with three balance options i thought made sense:

Default (Middle ground): Drag decreased from 200% to 50% and damage increasing from 330 to 400 with durable going from 90 to 190 making the slugger hit very hard (honestly its good but its fire rate does balance it a lot as bugs will overwhelm you quickly.. oh! forgot to say but stagger was increased to match JAR-5.

Sniper (Vanilla ish): Just brings the drag from 200% to 20% to allow you to snipe with your dubious shotgun.. too "OP" apparently.

Cu- Lead blaster 9000 (experimental): Is what i think the devs probably wanted with the slugger but made actually rewarding with extreme drag at 500% (Vanilla is 200%) BUT insane damage when you stuff your barrel.. at a certain spot in the enemies 😏 while stopping you from sniping very well because of the drag and i think its interesting.

Apart from than i am quite a fan of the changes even if i probably will stay on the middle ground.

The third option seems fun. I think maybe increase the ergo to 90 and heavy pen to make it a true quick scope gun up close.
Imagine you're against 10 hulks at around 5-7m and you just bang bang bang, 1 shot each of them. (The gun becomes dog crap beyond 7m and would take 5 shots to kill 1 hulk).

THANK YOU! Starting out helldivers 2, when I unlocked the slugger it became a mainstay for me for a long time on either bots or bugs, just now there are better options even if it does more damage then the dominator. Can't wait to try it.

great work, I love the sniper option!

may I suggest a high power slug option with 50% drag 500 damage 200 durable, extra recoil, and reduced ammo count? This should make it 2 shot devastators and make it compete with the china lake (I'm tired of the explosive meta)
