You usually need to land all pellets unless you're using a max impact shotgun at REALLY close range or a final round. You have to be precise to land all the pellets. Invective is good because by firing twice quickly you don't need as much accuracy. But that's why it's exotic. Also, zoom while ADS on ANY weapon multiplies the range. That is working as intended. Obviously it doesn't do much for shotguns but it still helps.

  • You don't have to be precise, just shoot at the upper portion of the victims chest and you'll get most of the pellets to hit. Even in the event that the initial shot doesn't kill them they are weak enough to the point a basic melee will finish them. ADS makes a weapon more accurate and does nothing to multiply the range. Basically damage drop off will not start sooner if you hip fire but the chances of you missing a shot does increase. In the case of Shotguns you're firing multiple projectiles in one shot, aiming or not aiming isn't going to do much to the spread of those projectiles (exception for shot package when that was in the game). The purpose of Rangefinder is to increased the distance the projectiles can travel before damage drop off starts. So if you don't have rangefinder on your shotgun you don't even need to aim it to be effective with it.

    No, ADS really does increase shotgun range.[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPKhEKyyMA0] Watch this.[/url] (might be the wrong vid, it was one of his vids though...) You can test it for yourself on a devil walker. I did.
