Shotguns are overpowered, here is a video I made on the topic. Don't worry, it's good quality! :-)

Dude. It's a shotgun. In a bungie game. When hasn't a bungie shot gun been extremely powerful?

1 ReplyI think the map design is what lends itself to shotty's. The gun itself is balanced just about right, but when the map allows for you to be within 10 feet before you even see your enemy, of course a shotgun is gonna have an advantage.

Shotguns are not op! I'll have you stand 8 to 10 feet away and I'll shoot you with my 12 gauge, then will see what's left of you.

Problems with shotguns in Destiny: -only 2 maps with real open battlefields (First Light and Bastion); thus the rest of the map are generally more closed in maps and in few cases extremely tight (ex. Asylum) -since they are Special weapons they are accessible from the start of the match, contrary to other shooters (though not all) where Shotguns are a purchased, heavy, or limited weapon to gain access to -in relation to their closest counterpart (Fusion Rifles) they have a cone radius, faster fire rate, and need hardly any aim (FR have longer range and faster reloads but have to charge to fire) Essentially in my own opinion, the problems with Shotguns are easy access and general map layouts that are pro-close quarter combat

1 ReplyShotguns are pretty much instakill in any game, just don't let them get close to you. Kinda simple to avoid getting killed by them as they're close range.

Go get shot by one right now, to the torso. And say that again. Oh wait. IT'S A -blam!-ING SHOTGUN. Go whine about the Fusion Rifle's with full damage per bullet. The Shotgun doesn't even do that.

2 RepliesIts a SHOTGUN FOR GODS SAKE! Sweet christ are you people stupid?! Ok. Answer this. If you walk up to someone(in real life) point a shotgun at them at point-blank range, then pull the trigger. Whats gonna happen hmm? Are they gonna laugh? Gonna survive? No. Why? ITS A F*CKING SHOTGUN

Cut the range in half and they would be fine. Still useful in cqc with the slide + melee but you wouldn't be able to use it exclusively.
-
Shotguns are definitely overpowered in this game. The so called hotfix said it reduced the shotgun range. Complete bull. Ppl can still one shot you from quite a distance. It should only one shot at melee range imo. This is one of the most unbalanaced pvp game i have played in a while.

Don't worry they got nerfed :)
-
Basically. Use an auto rifle. A shotgun and a rocket launcher on a warlock and you win.
-
Most ppl use them so a poll trying to get a nerf will fail...I must say i -blam!-ing hate shotguns myself..in game.. Real life i love them... mmmm AA12.
