Shotguns are going to be the new Autorifles
After looking at a lot of the TTK reveal gameplay in pvp
it's safe to say shotguns are taking a big nerf
maybe the current felwinter like shotguns will be decent in normal crucible
but for ToO and competitive playlists , I fear the new TTK shotguns at max level will be underpowered
the range looks pathetic
to the point you can hold their hands rather than kill them
I'm scared that the reaction to them being OP has made them utterly useless
which is exactly what happened with Autorifles
now this is coming from a shotgun whore
admittedly,
but I believe shotguns were only OP due to small map design and crazy movement mechanics like blink and slide
both made gap closing skill-less and too easy
they're my favourite weapon to use
in all FPS
I don't want to see them nerfed to oblivion
save the shotguns for us shit-blam!-s who don't know how to snipe for crap
-
definately need a nerf in pvp (mainly the newer shotguns), but rather they leave it alone for Pve
-
I am hoping they go back to how they were at release. Only useful if the barrel is in the enemies chest. That's how I got used to them and that's how I still use them.

4 RepliesI hope they are cut back in all departments. . In general they don't work like a shotgun. . But they should set them so there balanced for pve and pvp. . At present there just the weapon of choice for people happy with 25/25 in crucible and think there great because of there score. . Only a few skilled players use them properly . The other users in general just ruin the game for everyone else with there lack of ability while they blink/slide round and round a map . . .

Just spec a shotgun like dry rot with full auto. I love my secret handshake. Short range yes, but shotguns need to be melee range only for OHK. I've gotten used to firing twice at anything past melee range, but it fires so fast it doesn't matter. Great for taking out groups tho because of it's insane rate of fire

I hope so.

2 RepliesThe problem to are the maps. I remember getting decent sized maps in the rotation. Now pfffft they do it purpose trying to close the skill gap with ppl who hardly rely on shot guns and exotic HC. I honestly am glad to be separating myself from the meta. Sorry my man ull learn how to make it work.

Edited by RedSeaAZ: 8/28/2015 7:16:38 PMHonestly guns like fellwinters and matador are fine to me in terms of stats. So I'm fine with year 2 equivalents
-
1 ReplyI'm cool with the nerfs to shotties. In fact, let's remove them entirely Jk... Unfortunately we need shotgun whores for this game to last 10 years
-
3 RepliesThank heavens. Honestly, shotguns are simply too easy to use. They are by far the easiest weapons to get kills with. I'm really sick of seeing 5-8 people using only a shotgun in crucible matches. I realize some people love shotguns, but at this point I hope they get nerfed like auto rifles did. I'd be happy to see a shotgun-less crucible for a while.

6 RepliesThats how shotguns are supposed to be they dont fire slugs they fire pellets
-
They could leave the Shotty alone if they made it were you could not use it with Blink. Blink is the real problem.
-
You are obviously a skilled player who can be successful with other weapons. I don't have much respect for the typical 'weapon most used' shotgun guy, but honestly they keep my k/d from going further south. I lose almost all gunfights with primaries. However, three out of four times someone runs at me with a shotgun I melt them with a fusion rifle. My already poor k/d will miss shotgun guy.

1 ReplyAnd I can't wait

Make bigger maps with more lanes
-
1 ReplyLol now no blinking shotgun runners. Now they can actually [b]use[/b] a primary than use their shotgun all game.
-
12 RepliesShotguns should be a destroyer weapon at point blank range......that's it. A person should only equip them when turning corners or when your in a firefight and primary ammo is emptied.
-
3 RepliesThe range is what causes OP shotguns. In my opinion this is how it should work from now on If a shotgun has high impact it must have a low range stat. If a shotgun is low impact it can have a high range stat. This would no longer make OP shotguns.
-
1 ReplyYou mean Shotguns are actually going to function the way Shotguns should?
-
If we see a variety of map sizes then none of these nerds would really be necessary. You could have different load outs for different ranges and be fine
-
I just don't want them to suck in pve I'm all for nerfing the -blam!- out of them in pvp
-
Lol they already are autorifles bro
-
2 RepliesThe only real nerf to shotguns are the rangefinder and shot package perks, if you don't use those perks it's gonna be same
-
5 RepliesShotties will be ok. I'm a mfing surgeon like Denzel on Training day now. Thank you shotgun users. Fusions are awesome though because kids don't know what to do against them.

1 Replythe reveal also showed us that sidearms are getting a big buff. Four shots to the body is all you need.
