I really want to love the Chaperone but ever since the shotgun range nerf it has become insanely hard to use and all but useless in PvE... The max crit damage is only achievable within melee range which makes getting that head shot insanely hard because the enemies just start slapping you around and throwing off your aim. On the rare occasion where you're able to make the precision kill, the perk that activates isn't even all that good for the amount of work that went into activating it. This gun either needs a better range falloff and accuracy at the cost of slower firing rate and ammo capacity, or a more powerful perk given how hard you have to work to make it activate. At the moment it is all risk and no reward
