I feel like it became the worst Shotgun after being the best Shotgun in year 2. Its "effective" range is holding the end of the gun to another guardians face. For being a marksman accuracy style shotgun its range is literally zero now. A blindfired purple shotgun has more range then The Chaperone. Either its not registering full precision damage or its just broken now.
I get why it was nerfed. I understand that part of the problem. Though the whole idea of nerfing the guardians who personally travels the whole map to deliver a 1 hit kill bullet from 10 ft away and let the pack of spawn in and stand there with a sniper rifle 1 hit kill weapons live thing.
I want to be rewarded for my accuracy and play when using The Chaperone. Not punished for not using a blindfired purple shotgun.
Ease up on the exotics doing what they were made to do.

Bump. It needs to have its range completely maxed out, and its original damage multipliers restored. One of the worst quests in the game to complete, for a weapon that used to reward good aim. Now it's simply not worth it anymore. Like other have said, slug firing shotgun has no reason to have worse range than a buckshot one. It was literally meant to be a precision weapon, but it lacks the range and, in extension, the precision needed since the last set of shotgun nerfs. All the shotgun nerfs in the December patch were completely unnecessary, on top of that, but the Chaperone was hit extremely hard. It basically lost everything that made the quest worth completing it for.

Watch my clips, the thing is a monster. I am displeased with the slower handling that got applied to all shotguns tho.
-
screw those garbage Shotguns, Bungie nerf all of them ! I played Iron Banner and I keep getting one shot from 6meters away. apparently range at 10 means the same as a scout riffle with range at 100

BLASPHEMY!! Sage will never un-nerf something once he's nerfed it!

5 RepliesI gotta be honest, I'm glad shotguns are useless right now. I got pretty sick of them in Year One. The Universal Remote still works good though. And there's a few others, part crasher + 1, the comedian. I know those aren't exotics but I'm just saying I feel like shotguns work more in their intended area now
-
If you've got the ability to land headshots with the weapon, you should certainly be rewarded. The normal legendaries work just as well, but don't require you to have that accuracy.

Edited by Mars3099: 6/29/2016 10:42:42 PMyea the line between the range of my Chaperone and my Party Crasher should not be so blurred [spoiler]My chaperone should have the clear advantage on range[/spoiler] and if the range is too much nerf the aim assist and bullet magnetization so its not easy to use
-
I agree with this soooo much. The range is utter crap and for it to kill, you have to get a headshot. Other shotguns like the party crasher body shot from the same range and still one hit kill you.
-
Bump... Dont know why invective wasnt touch but thats none of my business.
-
Bump.
-
Yes buff this weapon. For slug base shotgun it sucks that it can't kill pass a few feet.
-
After the june update, my accuracy with headshots has been nerfed. The gun now is heavier than it was.
-
I say buff range be 15% and make it gave built in Icarus perk(like mida used to have that one perk built in)
-
You have to be within Warlock melee range to kill with one shot. That's too close, need at least double the range if not more since it has to be a head shot. Give us at least 20 feet crit 1 hit kill.
-
1 ReplyGotta hit those head shots right off the bat. Body shots aren't worth going for when using the chaperone. Maybe give it a little more range to make up for its low impact.
-
the fact that you have to get headshots with a shotgun is hard enough. but combine that with the fact that purple shotguns out range it and don't need a precision hit to OHK makes the weapon pointless.
-
I completely agree It should have more than a 1 step gap between a 1 hit percision kill and a 1 hit body kill from regular shotguns
