Why aren't YOU using Shotguns in PVE?
Do share, why don't you use them? And I'd rather have more specific reason than "I don't like them" (which is a valid reason ofcourse), because I'm curious why don't you like them.
Thank you!
EDIT: Typo, and thank you for feedback. :p

1 ReplyI do! I use Invective a lot. A single mag takes out most Majors. Found Verdict is a beast too. I can't wait until the patch hits. Those guns will really melt some Major faces then.

It's just too risky in the higher levels of the endgame material. It's just safer to stay back, in most situations.

I do. void shotguns are the love.

1 ReplyEdited by Afawafa: 2/7/2015 9:20:42 AMBecause when majors bitch slap you they break every bone in your body while your shotgun showers them in exfoliating pellets. Melee on high level Destiny enemies is far too strong and exposing yourself to that danger by using a shotgun is generally not worth it as shotguns don't deal enough damage to warrant the risk.

I use them. Have enjoyed them for quite some time. Love getting literally right in the enemies face. Point blank range. BLAM!! Just feels nice n chunky watching them reel backwards, and hearing the great shotgun report. Sounds so much better than the "pew pew pew", of pulse/auto rifles. Just. Personal choice, of course. Thrilled about the 100% buff coming! I'm going to be death incarnate with my "two in the morgue" shotty. To each their own, of course. Hard Light is a awesome sounding auto. Only one, imho.

Close range only weapon with very small clips and slow reload times = death against most bosses and high level mobs. I'd rather use a fusion rifle if I have too but usually equip a sniper as special. Universal remote=free shard. I don't own a shot gun. Period.

Because icebreaker

Because that means that the Hollowed Knight will have its shields taken down by my shotgun before it kills me, rather then having its shields being halfway down when it melts my face.

I dont let them get close enough to me to use one.

1 Reply#1 bad damage #2 useless against majors and ultras #3 too situationally specific #4 most have bad stats Even with this 100% damage buff in PvE I still won't use them

I don't know why people don't? To be honest I was a little surprised. Found verdict has saved my ass more then once in pve

3 reasons, 1: extremely limited range 2. most have a long reload time 3 I like to snipe in pve

I've got about 1000 shorty kills to go then I'm done with them for good.

It's my favorite weapon to use against the Cabal, Minotaurs, and Hive Knights. Fallen Captains are too agile and quick. The trick is to strafe away from their line of sight as you fire, so you avoid their melee attack. Also, if your class has a melee activated over shield, incorporate it into your shotgun usage. Shotgun + Over shield = PvE Massacre

4 round magazine. ..ROFL NO.. When shotguns get the appropriate magazine size... I don't care how much damage it does.. if you only get a few shots.. F it.
