Bungie, Can You Nerf Shotguns? I Mean, They Have Had 4 Nerfs And Nothing Has Changed
shotguns on this game are easy to get kills with, they are cheap kills and just every annoying to play against on crucible. i know everyone who votes no will be the ones who use shotguns but at least realise that shotguns are very easy to get kills with. any noob can pick a shotgun up and use it like a pro. try using a sniper and realise the skill it takes to use a shotgun.

Been sniping a bunch it's different but they both need skill
-
Avid sniper. Shotguns don't need a nerd. Fusion rifles and sidearms do need a buff though.

Says before I says again: The horrible radar is what makes the shotgun seemingly strong, coupled with Crucible map design that features lots of tight spaces and structures. Nobody in Halo runs around with a shotgun. There is an obvious reason for that. They have to chill, move slow and camp to ambush. In Destiny encounters can't be relied on the radar since you have no sense of how aggressive or safe a player is being. That is an environment where shotties will get kills. CoD also has guys running around with shotguns because of the radar, though that's balanced by them not knowing much until they get a blip. Destiny radar is just enough for a shottie user, and not enough to preempt a shottie. That is the only reason the shottie still does well even after so many major nerfs. It's an inherent design flaw, not a shotgun stats thing. I said this forever now, each time saying the next nerf will change nothing. Nobody listens and we get threads like this all over again. Change the scrubby radar to motion sensor like it is for PvE and watch shotties get in line.

Leave shotguns alone. Ammo is the problem. Special ammo should be special so that you can't run a special as a primary
-
Just buff your play style

1 ReplyShotguns are still the same? >.> <.< OP wasn't around when Saladin sold the OG Felwinters.

Hmmm looks like you haven't played many other shooters with ahotguns...which are even better

1 ReplyI will now use only my full auto shotgun..thanks for the encouragement.

4 RepliesThe problem isn't the guns being op, it's the amount of ammo that's spawned that's op. Less special means you can use it as primary whole game and you have to conserve it for special occasions. Spoiler: that's why it's called special ammo. As of right now it might as well be called primary ammo

If you are good with a sniper you wouldn't be complaining about shotguns. I keep running into snipers these days that can quick scope me from just outside of shotgun range. Now that is annoying and needs fixed.
-
I mean, I said no, I love shotguns. But I'm also very good with a sniper, I use a shotgun because of close range combat that may surprise me, using a sniper is fun but what if you covered by two people? A shotgun can get you out of that mess
-
3 RepliesSo I'm guessing that you hard scope in a glitch spot? Am I right?

Now that you mention it, what if we didn't have shotguns at all.

4 RepliesI use both from time to time but there are times when I feel a shotgun can be a cheaper kill. Case in point : playing crucible today and I observe a Shotgun toting Titan ( which I always deem as unoriginal) charging at me. He's not strafing, zig zagging, or making any attempt to avoid being hit. I unload my complete magazine with the majority of my hits landing directly in the hit box bringing him to a sliver of health. I am then killed as he pulls the trigger and one shots me as he is granted his Narrow Escape award. Then the player proceeds to tea-bag me as if his display of ability was so overwhelming that I couldn't help but be defeated by him. It doesn't take much skill to charge a player and hope that your armor holds up long enough to pull the right trigger granting you the kill. That is my main problem with shotgun kills. Still wouldn't ask for a nerf though.

What the fück is wrong with you

4 RepliesShotguns= high risk, high reward Snipers= Low risk, high reward I'll use both depending on the map. Snipers hate being killed by shotgunners and vice versa.

https://youtu.be/XoHkmLrbw_4 Im just going to leave this here
-
What is the risk to sniping? Pretty much no risk.... What is the risk to shotgunning? You have to be RIGHT NEXT to your victim, like up close and personal. Where they can actually kill you I'm just chillin over here with my Thesan FR4 though :)
-
And here we go again. Another pvp whiner wreckimg the game for the majority of pve players. Just go away ok.
-
As of the last patch, snipers are easier to use IMO
-
Why? The point of shotguns is a ohk in cq. It's like saying thst snipers can't do that much damage very far.
