Survivor ultra rare item/add on - the shotgun
At base the shotgun has 2 shells
You'd aim the shotgun simular to how you aim a flashlight save and it causes the killer to be stunned for 2-4 seconds and they drop any survivor that they're carrying. However if the killer is shot from the front, back or the side on which the survivor is being carried the survivor that escapes the killers grasp is put into the dying state because. Well a survivor has accidently been shot in addition to the killer
You use the shotgun by aiming with whatever button you press to use a flashlight and firing by pressing whatever button you use to hit skill checks - for blanks you would press the crouch button or something
In addition to this shotguns make a loud noise notification when fired and make you the obsession if you stun a killer with it
On its own its essentially just a better flashlight but the add ons might make the shotgun unique
I think there'd be add ons that reduce the audio of the shotgun and would decrease how long the notification bubble is shown for (mufflers/suppressors. Idk I saw you could muffle a shotgun in fallout)
Add ons that let you fire "blanks" to distract the killer - these would be fired seperatly to the normal shells
Add ons make it so if you accidentally hit a survivor on the killers shoulder they get put into Endurance (not deep wound) for x amount of time
An ultra rare add on called "incendiary shells" that allows you to destroy dropped pallets which could help when dealing with unsafe pallets
And another called "iredescent shells" that give you 4 shells (unable to be boosted with other add ons) but instead of being able to stun a killer you can shoot a generator to give it an aura simuakr to the ultra rare wraith add on or fuming mix tape.
However this would be kinda broken in a 4 man survive with freinds so maybe for each other shotgun brought into the trail the time the killer is stunned for is halved
(e. G - 4 shotguns = only 0.5 second stuns. And the stun for dropping the survivor is also reduced to 0.5 seconds)
Tldr this would be a lower skill flashlight.
This is just my attempt to make a joke into a feasible new survivor tool
I have stupid ideas
