I noticed that No Backup Plans now also synergize with shotguns. When you shoot enemy dead with shotgun, you gain the overshield (provided you don't have cooldown on your melee) as defender Titan, instead of having to get a melee hit kill.
I really like this buff, it's not OP buff, but it's something that just adds to my shotgun-happy gameplay in PVE.
I used to be a fan of these exotic gloves, being able to keep the disintegrate shield up almost 24/7 is a great buff for Defender class when you want to play aggressive.
Sooo thanks Bungie for buffing this item! :)

Pretty much PvE only. Shotguns in PvP will go right through your over shield and it doesn't recharge anywhere close to fast enough. Then again, might as well use NBP if you are using a Defender in PvP. There isn't a standout Defender Exotic armor at the moment.
