I don't play Destiny's PVP (Another topic another time) I do have to agree though regarding PVE and the shotguns, I actually in other games often have enjoyed the challenge of using a shotgun presented; getting in close shoot and move etc. I very recently acquired my first exotic item, a shotgun called the "Universal Remote" now don't get me wrong when up VERY close this thing was pretty serious taking out Knights in two shots etc. However, the range not only on this shotgun but all of them I have tried in the game are far to limited (I am a former firearms instructor) I know the reality of what a shotgun can and can't do and I will be the first to admit that in most games the shotgun has way too much range but in Destiny they seemed to have gone to far the other direction.

Got my ass handed to me in nightfall by a captain when I tried to take his arc shield down with my arc shotgun (found verdict). Admittedly not the best idea to charge at a captain, but I shouldn't be have to be within melee range to do any kind of decent damage with a legendary shotgun.

Did you by chance have the universal remote upgraded? It's intentionally designed to have poor stats but have skill tree upgrades that give it better range than any other shotgun. Until then, it's literally the worst shotgun at everything, especially range, so please don't make a judgment based on that.

I obtained it only three days ago, I have no upgrades for it yet. I have discovered that unless you are really close it is next to useless but if close enough even without upgrades it is a punishing weapon.

The upgrades are what make the weapon. If you look there are, like, 3 to improve range. Because the Neff reduced base range and didn't touch the perks, the universal remote is essentially untouched by the patch, maintaining absurd range.

I agree, you shouldn't have to stick the end of the barrel to an enemy for it to do damage, it shoots out mostly in a cone shape and should do decent damage to about mid range. Which is why pvp and pve should be 100% separate. Thanks for the comment :)

No upgrades yet, but the range is pretty bad. However if you are close even with no upgrades it seems to do a lot of damage.
