Invective -- needs a buff not a nerf!
Bungie is nerfing shotguns yet again in this patch. They'll become inferior weapons and only kill within mele range. NOBODY WILL EQUIP SHOTGUNS IN PVP. Is that what Bungie wants? I happen to enjoy the SG play style. FFS!
Invective, one of the few Year 1 weapons that is actually earned and not just served to everyone on a plate, is being crippled AGAIN. Itis already beaten every time by other legendary and exotic weapons bought from vendors or awarded for losing a game! After the patch it will be useless.

This is also just nonsense. My real shotgun is fully effective at 100 yards! Military SGs are lethal at over 50 paces. The game is becoming too unrealistic, e.g. vs Call of Duty.

2 RepliesRather then changing shotguns as they are now I think bungie just needs to scrap their idea of them all together. Swap hand cannons with shot guns and increase hand cannon damage while also lowering RoF. Place shotguns in the place hand cannons occupy now. They could also leave shotguns as they are now and make two different kinds; one that fires a slug like the Chaperone, the other is a buckshot. Buckshots are characterized by what's going to happen to them in the December update. The slug type shotties would deal about 1/3 as much damage but have range about as long as a lower range auto rifle. Like a sniper this shotty wouldn't get a hip fire reticule. From mid range it would almost always lose to primaries. From father close range areas it would win if you can land about to precision shots, in close range a body shot and melee should do it. This leaves an offensive shot gun and a more defensive buckshot type.
