Shotgun Trajectory

Project Zomboid: Master Shotgun Ballistics with Shotgun Trajectory Mod

Tired of shotguns feeling less than impactful in Project Zomboid? The Shotgun Trajectory mod injects a much-needed dose of realism and tactical depth into your close-quarters combat. This modification focuses exclusively on overhauling shotgun ballistics, bringing a more authentic and challenging experience to your zombie-slaying endeavors.

Enhanced Shotgun Mechanics

Shotgun Trajectory meticulously adjusts how shotguns behave, drawing inspiration from the B41 version of Project Zomboid. Key features include:

• Modified vanilla shotgun ballistics for a more authentic spread pattern.
• Support for the latest ragdoll physics, making downed zombies react realistically.
• Restricted firing angles when inside vehicles, preventing unnatural 360-degree shooting.
• Weapon stat-driven firing angle ranges for more nuanced aiming.
• Reduced vanilla shotgun pellet count to 4, mirroring B41’s design.
• Temporary halving of pellet count for modded shotguns.
• Introduction of accuracy penalties related to movement, long-range engagement, aiming time, and vehicle motion.

Refined Aiming and Combat

This mod doesn’t just tweak numbers; it fundamentally enhances the way you approach combat with shotguns. The spread patterns are now more aligned with the B41 experience, and you have the option to calculate spread originating from your character rather than the gun’s muzzle, significantly improving close-range aiming. Furthermore, modded shotguns have seen their capabilities adjusted, with attack counts and range limitations introduced.

Customization and Control

Shotgun Trajectory offers a wealth of customization through Sandbox options. You can fine-tune ballistic range, toggle a damage display for visual feedback, and even enable window shattering effects within projectile trajectories. Further control is provided with settings to manage floor limits for shooting, disable vanilla bullet trajectory, and adjust aiming speed requirements.

Whether you’re looking to restore a favored combat feel or simply want to experience shotguns with greater realism and challenge, the Shotgun Trajectory mod for Project Zomboid is an essential addition to your game.
