There should be a perk on curios that reduces shotgunner damage and works just like the other damage reduction perks. Imo shotgunners are by far the highest threat on higher difficulties, because of their insane damage, fast firing rate and high spawn rates.

This should fall under the Damage Resistance (Gunners). Sadly as with Scab Stalkers not being treated as shooters when using Counterfire talent, Fatshark isn’t great at consistency. User experience / UI design is also poor here, as the effects are not sufficiently explained AND communicated (Blessings/Talent effects).

Are you sure? I have read on reddit that the gunners category does not include shotgunners but ofc that could be wrong. It would be nice if fatshark provided a table wich contains all enemies and their category types.
He said should, rn its not.
Rn no protection from shotguners.
Rn most protective perks are straight up useless (e.g. flamer, poxhound, mutant bla-bla-bla defenses) all of those should be deleted and replaced with 2 unified perks:
-
dmg reduction from all melee attacks
-
dmg reduction from all ranged attacks
With maximum percent amount of 15% at t4.
