All my charts will be updated within an hour from this posting, it takes a little while. They always change things in EFT while I'm asleep 🙁

This change may or may not affect buckshot spreads, in my testing accuracy has little to no effect on buckshot groupings but this change is much larger than anything I've been able to test previously.
It does massively improve sniping potential. Many slugs also got minor accuracy improvements as well. Superformance is still the best sniping slug with by far the highest velocity, least drop, and most bonus accuracy.
As someone who uses shotguns all the time, these buffs are actually pretty big.
Not only will all rounds just in general kill faster, the changes to most of the 12/70 buckshot pellets make them one tap the head with a single pellet which makes them 2x as deadly. You no longer have to run Magnum Fuckshot to do this, which means no more massive recoil added. Express probably won't one tap heads with a single pellet due to damage falloff, resulting in less than 35 damage dealt with a single pellet. The game doesn't round actual health damage numbers so a pellet could do 34.97 damage and the target would be alive with 0.03 HP on their head, displaying in game as 0/35.
The additional accuracy on the Saiga-12 means slugs are far more consistent, and that slight AP-20 buff makes it more viable against level 4 armor. I still don't feel that there's any good reason to use a shotgun with slugs however, a cheap DMR such as a lightly modded M1A or even just a hunter do the same things as a shotgun with slugs but better.
The buffs to flechette were much welcome, it needed more damage to really make it viable outside of very close range.
Some things still need to be fixed with shotguns though:
