Weakpoint Seekers (T1 Weapon Item)

[Rosgath]

This was an idea I had initially because I thought "Man, the difference between headshots and non-headshots is HUGE. It probably shouldn't be so big!"

And then I realized that the item has another purpose, heroes with Spread weapons. So here it is :




It serves 2 purposes. 1, heroes with Spread weapons (like pocket, Abrams, and MnK) will want to build this as it allows them to better take advantage of all the spread shots of their gun. At the same time, it also helps newer players or players who just aren't as good at the shooter aspect of Deadlock to build Weapon builds.

That said, it is a weapon item, so relying on it to make a weapon build is not good in the long term. It can help some players who are worse shots, but as far as use in higher brackets it would mostly be for heroes with Spread weapons to be able to maintain good Gun DPS even compared to others like Wraith or Haze who can just fire a hose of Bullets into your face.

I will point out that this EXPRESSLY only increase Gun damage. The passive does not affect weapon damage, meaning it doesn't improve melee damage.

So this is explicitly a spirit build weapon, because if you have decent weapon damage you absolutely do not want to give up headshots, shotgun or no. If you're going spirit build though this can be most your gun damage and you're perfectly happy. Just pointing that out.

So this is best on Mo and Krill by far, but Abrams should not get this.
