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
-
too many enemies and the shotgun blasts only direct at one enemy, they need to be wider blasts and shorter distances... larger target acquision area
-
Too many cons and not a single pro unless you count the pump action animation and sound being cool
-
I didn't until I got the Universal Remote. Before they all didn't reach far enough.
-
I think a sniper is better cause shotgun take 3-5 shots to kill average captain
-
I use shotguns all the time in Patrol and Story, though rarely in Strikes, and never during Raids.
-
Not worth it would much rather have a sniper
-
Damage is too low for getting that close. They are few in patrol but that's about it
-
The Comedian void tears up a Praetorian in 4 hits, staggers each hit, point blank. I use during Vault opening, Defend the Confluxes, Templar (blowing out of bubbles in 2 shots), Gatekeeper (Praetorians and Minotaurs) and Atheon (blowing out of bubbles and instant kill supplicates)
-
My fully auto Secret Handshake with void will bring a Praetorian down in less than 3 seconds without reloading.
-
I use void shotguns for praetorians on vog... love the double damage update coming :)
-
Depends on team and strike. Lots of thralls and teammates have goid sniper rifle to take the boss down...Then I grab my good, ol'shotty with enough death for all who try to stand on my teams toes :)
-
As players we are far too vulnerable to melee attacks in pve. You have to get too close to them. Not enough reward for the risk. The damage buff might change that.
-
They require you to get close to enemies and that's not very safe in higher level content.
-
Icebreaker! Plus no sense in close combat on pve...mud to long range. If i want close range, ill use my facepalm ability.
-
I use them against Knights, minotaurs, & Ogres. They are strong and will stagger them easily. Trick is to use a sticky grenade and get them in a guarding position, and spam your shotgun to their face!
-
Idk fusion rifles and snipers do more damage from distance and getting close to bosses is usually a bad idea... I did se one guy ride phogoth like a pony haha
-
fusion rifles and using my primary 95% of the time is the reason. however, recently i got the bounty for invective, knocked that out in two maps and now im loving shotguns because of it. very fun gun to use.
-
Invective is the only shotty I use in pve/pvp. I just got the secret handshake from an engram a while back and noticed how its rate of fire is absolutely terrible, and does hardly any damage to same level or higher enemies. You'd think with a slow fire rate one of the other stats would be buffed to balance the weapon, but that is hard to come buy with dlc shotguns. I really miss the comedian and the invisible hand m7, best shotguns in the game still.
-
Try using a shotgun on that hated knight on earth and let me kno what happens next

Edited by Ironreeve: 2/6/2015 8:42:23 PMWho said I didn't use a shotgun? I use shotguns for everything, for PvE moreso than PvP. It's quick, can deal massive amounts of damage, it's a freaking shotgun, and it's a blast to go around with a Hand Cannon, Auto Rifle, or Scout Rifle and a Shotgun. Scout Rifle and Shotgun combo will be really good with this weapons tweak, one long range gun any one short range gun.

Edited by titan4life: 2/6/2015 8:41:15 PMHave not gotten a shotgun worthy of taking the slot away from ice breaker, plan c, or several legendary snipers I'd rather use than a shotgun. Uni Remote is among the worst exotic primaries imo.
-
Ah I use them sometimes I then hit stuff, its what titans do I guess
-
Got Found Verdict, and what does it do on patrol against a level 11 dreg? Misses at point blank range!
-
I do use them but they are really only usefull vs the smaller guys. Gonna try useing them after update, might be more worth the risk.
-
I have black hammer. Enough saif
-
Because in most cases when you get close to the enemy your usually gonna die
