This is a serious question for me, i'm a terrible shotgunner, i can never get the drop on people, i always miss my shots, i always shoot from too far away, i always get melted, i always suck with shotguns. Even if shotgunning never becomes my favourite thing to do, i would at least like to be able to do well while using one. Can anyone give me advice.
EDIT: Wow, thanks for all the great tips everyone, i haven't had much chance to put everything into practice yet (especially sensitivity as i've only raised it to 6 as i usually play on 4) but in the few matches i have played i've been keeping everything you've all said in mind and it has resulted in an overall improvement of my abilities, i think in the few games i had i managed to get 1 10+ kill streak using strictly my shotgun (granted the enemy was pretty bad) but still that is improvement for me as before i struggled to get a 5 kill streak now i'm getting them a little more frequently. I'm hoping i'll be able to really put this information to use during the iron banner this week.

"SHOTGUNS HAVE NO SKILL"- Retard on the forums Miss a shot you're dead.
-
And use grenades
-
When turning a corner either slide or jump Slide and shotgun Use shadestep or titan midair evade Use your shotgun a slightly 3xtended melee range
-
2 RespuestasYes!!!!.....you are correct, there is skill associated with running a shotgun, not so much a sniper.
-
1 RespuestaPatience/outsmarting/distracting/sliding/height advantage/predicting. The idiots running around with shotguns only do well when they're against noobs. And honestly the only ones to complain about shotguns are noobs at the moment. They are so easily countered now it's not even funny lol
-
Aim and shoot
-
Its all about picking your battles wisely... Know whats too far and what is just perfect.
-
2 RespuestasMovement. Shotguns not about gun skill but more so movement and your well awareness of the map your playing. Add radar in that too. Jumps, sidles (again movements) are key and knowing the map and radar (also don't use shotgun in skyshock or window court just dont) thevies den and ur fine)
-
1 RespuestaWhenever I take a shot, i melee. With a warlock it's the easiest. On my hunter, I'll shoot and jump or shadestep right after. Titans you can skate or use twilight Garrison for the quick jump on them. Don't stand still when you're going in with a shotgun 1v1.

Editado por tazagi: 3/31/2016 3:07:21 AMI honestly dont know...Im just good with a shotgun...But everyone can do better with a shotgun
-
1 RespuestaAll I do is shotgun and I get hassled for defending the skill and use of it. I challenge all great snipers to put on a shotgun and try to consistently wreck people. Shotgun is a support piece. Using a shotgun is like playing chess. A shotgun takes less gun skill but it requires more critical thinking skills, situational awareness, etc. The mentioned is something complaining snipers will never understand, and I truly appreciate you recognizing the mental skill that is involved with using a shotgun.

One HUGE tip is changing your Burton load out from default to puppet. Doing so allows you to slide while keeping your right thumb on the anoluge stick. A default setup means sliding is B. Using B to slide means you're taking your right thumb off the analogue stick which allows you less control of your charter and slow reaction time as it takes longer to slide when removing your thumb from the anoluge stick. I've helped a lot of people with the shotgun. Switching your button layout is one of the biggest things you can do to see improvement.

Someone please help me get better with the chaperone. Maybe one in 5 I actually get a solid full Health headshot kill. What is the strategy? How far away can you pop head shots?

Really because I'm the opposite in that I can never snipe, even though I've seen countless guardians pull off impossible shots. For advice, close the distance as fast as possible or catch people around corners.

With shotguns it's about mobility, situational awareness, and quick fights. Remember, shotguns are a hit and run, one (or two) and done deal. Hip fire if things get close, aim at extended short-range. Also, make sure you end the fight very quickly and if all fails: Sprint, slide, shoot, melee in that order
-
Hehehe, its simple. Get up close, be evasive, play smart, aim and shoot.

Titan skating and invective has worked best for me

1 RespuestaPull the trigger that's all. Or you can snipe with the conspiracy theory.

9 Respuestas-Always slide up to people -Melee after shooting -Hover or jump above doors and drop down/jump around on them -Use your mobility -If you're a hunter use a combination of controlled jump and shade step for confusing enemies. You can also use gunslinger to have a really extended melee (throwing knife). For blade dancers you can have some pretty cool agility builds. Here is a super fun build.[spoiler]controlled jump Skip nades Backstab or invis stab Fleet footed Hungering blade Max agility Mida Bones of eao [/spoiler] If you're a titan learn to skate for tremendous speed, pair that with juggernaut and you're a shotgunning tank warrior. (YouTube that shit) If you're a warlock you're lucky because your hands are snipers. Slide shotgun melee is ez mode. Every melee also is op in its own way. Sunsingers get overshield and burn, voidwalkers get insta health regen on kill, stormcallers get the most ridiculously long ranged melee in the game. More on the FUKING ANNOYING ASS SHOTGUNNER BUILD here[spoiler]stormcaller Arcbolt or storm your choice Amplitude Ionic blink Pulse wave Feedback Shoot someone with shotgun and melee immediately for a satisfying and cheesy hand snipe. Double the annoying by putting on claws of ahamkara! [/spoiler] -be confusing, jump over people and disorient them. -that's all I got

Use pre nerf felwinter's lie (a.k.a. Felwinter's sniper) never lose a fight again
-
It's all in the movement, hence why shotgunning is much harder than sniping in Y2c especially more so after the 2.1 nerf too. Focus on your movement more than anything, check through your post replies for anyone giving advice on that.
