But stasis promotes shotgunning apes?

It can

Shotguns should be heavy weapons.

You’re running sidearms and fusions, two of the easiest things to use. Get a grip.

I change my load out continuously. PvP and PvE because I like the variety. I barely use a sidearm. It just happens when you looked at my profile I had one equipped. Probably Traveler’s Chosen because I saw a video by True Vanguard the other day suggesting it. I like fusions, they are one of the few ways to stop a charging shotty - but it’s not easy. You have to move back while it charges and make sure you track the right part of the target the whole time. But I do n’t always use them. I’ve found Cerberus surprises the hell out of a shotgun user. Close up it’s TTK is evil and it’s really difficult to dodge. I would pair that with a scout or another auto.
