It's very useable in PvP, but primarily for highly aggressive playstyles that rely on you closing the distance quickly between you and your opponents. It synergizes best with Striker Titans who really don't mind running up to people's faces. In PvE, the Remote has seen better days. The numerous shotgun range and damage nerfs mean that the weapon just isn't as satisfying to use against endgame enemies. It's also totally worthless against a lot of bosses, meaning you have to rely more on your snipers for hurting them - which ALSO received stupid nerfs in the form of reduced backpack ammo... Thank PvP for that. Defenders can get pretty good use out of the weapon with No Backup Plans, but you're generally better off with a hard-hitting scout rifle and an automatic shotgun in your secondary slot for steamrolling elite mobs. It's a great weapon to use if you're bored and want to have fun, but I wouldn't call it the most competitive or endgame-friendly weapon unless you [b]seriously[/b] know what you're doing.
