Are shot guns really being nerfed?

I'm very confused aso the reason why shotguns are being nerfed, supposedly. What's wrong with them? There was nothing wrong with them back when there was shot package either imo. The fact is f your point blank shiotguns will kill you..... Why people find that OP is beyond my comprehension. If you can't keep yourself away from a shotgun your playing wrong or got outplayed. It's stupid to nerf something just because snippets don't like it.

  • "Most kills: shotgun" You're proof that shotguns are overpowered. Specials weapons shouldn't be used as your primary, the fact that you can shows that they are overpowered.

      It is. Its not hard to get that close to someone. After that there is hardly any defense from it besides running, and I don't enjoy running half the match from the crutch babies who use shotguns as primaries

    • So true. And i want this to go on record here: To my known knowledge, [i][b]no one[/b][/i] has ever complained about The Chaperone being op at all. They've only bitched about the quest to get it. But I guess Bungie can do whatever the hell they want.

      • Why are they being nerfed? 1 Shotguns are supposed to be risky because you have to be in melee range. Not a risk if they kill outside of melee range. Now shotguns have to get into melee range. 2 There are no reasons to use fusion rifles because shotgun's have too much range. They cannot be used as the shotgun counter that they are meant to be if shotguns kill from extended range.

      • People will always complain about shotguns in this game as long as they are 1 hit kill. Shotguns rn are perfect imo

        To the ground apparently... To the point that using them will require a lot of effort, and it's because a lot of people do shotgun running, decided to swap to close range primary and sniper to save me the hassle. Unpopular opinion [spoiler]why not remove range finder?[/spoiler]

      • If you say shotguns are OP but you don't complain about snipers... It's OK for people to use snipers as primary's. Camp. But it's not OK y someone to have 4 to 6 round of shot gun shells to run and gun to try to counter snipers... Saaaaaaalllltyyyyy . your just getting outplayed if you can't kill a shot gun user before he gets you. And shotn range is not OP p stop saying it lol your corny

        • 1: Almost all the maps in Destiny are mid/short range. 2: It's incredibly easy to close the gap between you and another player in this game. 3: People are using shotguns as a primary. If you're able to use a secondary as a primary, there's an obvious problem.

            • I blame 2 things. 1. An absolute plethora of cqb focused maps. If forced into cqb, using the go to, king of cqb archetypes makes absolute sense. Larger maps being included in rotation would help alleviate their general "go to" use. 2. This game has no age rating so it could be marketed at kids. I dont know why, I mean Activision is very aware that cod is retailed to kids - they even marketed a Lego cod product at kids - who shouldn't have been able to make the connection to a game they shouldn't have been playing. Anyway, I digress, this multitude of kids in game results in their whiny little tantrums effecting the weapon sandbox. Cant actually count the amount of times I've been messaged saying something to the effect of "ha! I reported you! For cheating" Please, 6year old retard. If I wanted to cheat I hook up a network stresser and just start booting people left, right and center. Plus an age rating would mean access to blood, and hopefully (my personal favourite) decapitations! So in short. Nerf the flow of cqb maps. Nerf the 6 year olds

                • First off, nerf sucks. Currently pulse and tlw (if ppl are able to be good with them) are the primaries that can be strong enough to gun down a rusher before they get to them- barely. That's why when TTK dropped it seems shotguns run even more prevalent. So since they are nerfing pulses, that will mean shotguns will be even harder to counter at close range without resorting to shotguns. So they're killing the shotguns as a result.

                    Shotguns need to be rendered useless to maintain balance in the crucible.

                      If you are really that confused, you don't play trials or iron banner enough.

                      • I hate nerfs!! I don't play pvp but it seems when a lot of people are getting killed on Pvp by a specific weapon everyone cries nerf. As an avid hunter who shoots shotguns often, I can tell you that depending on what you are shoot out of them their effective range is between 50 and 100 yards. It seems like everyone one here thinks that they should only do damage up close. And barrel length plays into accuracy also.
