Ingame: Shotgun alt-fire. Costs 5 shells, takes 5(?) seconds fire time and has a 70%(?) drop-off. High damage (damage=wall hit-points). May have to use plasma damage to destroy walls. Possibly destroying weapon (% or not?).

I'd carry a shotgun through hell for corners/breaching. Otherwise, I'll just keep carrying my combat shotty for corners/scouting as always.........

A shotgun alt-fire that breaches walls would be nice, but I'm not sure how realistic that would be. I mean, we're not talking about the hollow walls you find in your house, these are massive, stone, monolithic structures. Even the Phobos Base probably consists of metallic constructs given the nature of the game (to take a guess, you're descending into the moon). Bullets are powerful but they don't have the same explosive power of rockets or penetration of super-heated plasma.

That aside, a five-second firing time is WAY too much. If you want to make the reload time high, even to that magnitude, that's okay. I would never use a wall-breaching attack that potentially leaves me open to enemies, then forces me to squat for five seconds while they rip me apart. The idea of making it the overcharged effect is actually interesting enough to work because there are so many Sergeants to supply extras.

I think we have our next challenge option.
