Really? Nerfing shotguns?
Absolutely pointless, all the needed to do here was buff autos and nerf hand cannons a tiny bit, maybe tiny scout rifle buff, they thing they have to mess with every single weapon, the pulse rifle was fine, everything should be brought up to its standards.

If u just bring everything up, then eventually you'll have 1 hit kills with every gun

1 ReplyI can't disagree with the range reduction but I think the damage nerf in PvE was also warrented because they simply did so much damage up close. Will they still be a good option? Yes!!! That's what counts. That they are usable and balanced.

11 RepliesDude this was a little more necessary than you think. The ONLY weapon im able to 2-shot majors with is a shotgun. even ROCKETS don't deal as much single-target-damage to majors as shotguns do. I think the small damage reduction and the range nerf will make shotguns far less OP, BUT still viable options for the aggressive players. Nobody deserves to one-shot-kill somebody from 20 feet away with a felwinter.

How do you say it... get good scrub of something of that nature. Did I say that right?
-
Shut up and get good at the game? Use your -blam!-ing primary weapon, matador 64 is a secondary OP scrub gun learn to play the game instead of one shotting people from ridiculous distances cause you have 0 skill

4 RepliesI've said this 1000 times but the Shotgun haters can't seem to get it through their thick skulls, It's the MAPS that are the problem. They're too small and dotted with copy pasted terrain which cause a lot of surprise encounters. There is no incentive to use anything else. Try Shotgun rushing in combined arms and see how well you do. If Bungie got off their ass and stopped making the same map with a new paint job over and over this wouldn't be a problem.

i think the shotpackage/rangefinder nerf was needed but not pve damage or crit modifier reduction
-
They should nerf the range. They are skill less OHK weapons that don't reward accuracy or aim just aggressive pushing. And mostly are run by blade dancing hunters or ram wearing warlocks with blink which can close a 50meter gap in a matter of seconds. Don't worry though, the blink nerf is next... Can't wait... I suspect they'll put a weapon materialization cool down so people can't be as aggressive with blink and use it more defensively and *gasp* engage with a primary for a change. It's good, they're finally trying to attain some balance to this game.
-
I would say nerf the perks that make it so that the range on it is basically a hand cannon.... Like the last word.. Simple as that, so people don't just run around and pull the trigger when you get a bit close
-
1 ReplyShotguns aren't OP, but very popular indeed.
-
Make less time for special respawns
-
No shotguns is all anybody uses anymore in pvp. Bungie wants to see players use a variety of weapons not just shotguns and pistols. The Nerf is well needed but also they should make more custom pvp rooms. Where we control the weapons and maps. You also should realize not every player is a badass in pvp.
-
Or return my SUROS back yo the way it way when the game first came out & ill -blam!- anyone using a shotgun!
-
2 RepliesIt's a range reduction. If they buffed fusion rifles, and made bigger maps, the shotgun problem would definitely no longer be a problem.
-
Hell yea, the range is ridiculous, now add that with Blink! I can deal with any weapon but shotguns, I hate them in PVP
-
The range is getting ridiculous on shotguns... I think it is a good nerf
-
1 ReplyNerfing shot package & rangefinder is more than warranted. Right now shotguns dominated other specials(and primaries) in close to mid range(very easy to get within that one-shot range atm). Not only that, but one kind of shotty absolutely dominates even other shotties! Why would I ever touch a closer range, high RoF shotty, when I can just run shotpackage/rangefinder + any other range perk and kill my foe more quickly and efficiently at triple the range?
-
12 RepliesIts more that the only viable shotguns are matador, felwinters, and party crasher
-
I use a shot gun and it is op. I can one shot people from so far away if u have the right gun with right perks. It needs a nerf badly. Almost no one is crucible will use a sniper or fusion rifle because what is the point when shot guns are so good
-
2 RepliesShotguns will lose some appeal with blink nerf.
-
1 ReplyYour post should have read..Really? Nerfing? Because they're all unnecessary.
-
1 ReplyI use shotties and yeah they need to be toned down a bit. The range on some shots I pull off is disgusting
-
You really don't understand power crawl in gaming do you
