special weapon balance is actually weird.

I knew that shotguns were always dominant, but man the number you gave us on TWID is actually concering. You made it look fair by combining two weapons into one number to make it look fair, but that's just absurd. even before meter system shotgun had 46% of kills, while fusion and snipe had 43%. which means that both had 30% - 10% or 20% - 20% each. that's already the double difference. and after the meter shotguns had more then 76%, while sniper and fusion had 18%. that means that each weapon didn't even had 10%. That's not about skill difference or anything, it's about weapon balance. Please, just buff the other specials to be more reliable and consistent so that it can be valid options beside shotguns.

Fusions for example land more kills for their users than shotguns do. Shotguns just have higher usage. Balance of weapon types does not mean they will all be getting the same number of kills. Snipers have a higher reward, so they have a higher risk as well.
