So what's the deal with the current shotgun design in Destiny? Shotguns are obviously very strong in pvp and punish your enemy (maybe a bit too much) for getting close to you. But I feel like they are near useless in any high lvl content like the nightfall strikes. Most of the enemies you fight will one hit KO you in melee range, exactly the range you need to be in to use your shotgun. Trying to use your shotgun on bosses is just a suicide run with no benefits at all.
I'm curious to hear any succes stories with the shotgun in the raid or nightfall strike. Do you think the gun could use a slight buff in pve to justify the risk or do you guys think it's fine the way it is?
Thanks for reading!
