update 1st > thanks for all the feedback! 🫵💪 ...so far I haven't found a strong match with any of the above ...I mostly go shotgun + melee for the kill not 1-shot but I guess that comes with time.. or may need a bit more patience on the shots ...I now only have the compass rose's, found verdict, imperial decree and my 1st IB focus this banner was Gunnora (threat detector + opening shot) edit > (well I guess this won't be seen as thread doesn't seem to refresh...) -
1 ReplyEdited by Chunk: 3/30/2025 1:40:51 AMFrom what you have listed, imperial decree and compass rose threat opening If you have the access and want to farm Pellets: Someday kinetic threat detector - opening shot from the pale heart craftable Matador energy threat detector - opening shot farmable from ogre boss grasp of avarice.... I wouldn't bother farming this your compass rose with threat detector and open shot is perfect. 65 rpm are the most consistent lone wolf and closing time are catching big nerfs Slugs: Kinetic Chaperone exotic Blasphemer quick draw - opening shot moon daily rotation altars of sorrow Energy Duality exotic Sojourners tale quick draw - opening shot can focus from last seasons tonics Gunnora's axe iron banner on Tuesday reset, Inquisitor from trials following week

Just see which has the most range. Slug shotguns are harder to use in my opinion, but they are better than regular ones if you can hit precisions. If you are able, I would recommend crafting Someday for primary slot and getting a good scavengers fate for secondary slot
-
6 RepliesOut of these, found verdict. I would need to see more of the guns though, all 5 perks. I prefer the GOS shotgun to all of this. That and matador is awesome
-
Try them all and keep the one that works best for you. Like any weapon type, there will a clear favourite.
-
found verdict is a good shotgun, but if you can farm the garden of salvation shotgun or the revenant shotgun for the energy slot, for the kinetic slot the comp shotgun and the crota's end shotguns are the best options

1 ReplySlug points to be honest although I don’t use shotguns even though they are good in about any situation specifically now since zealots getting a nerf

7 RepliesEdited by Part Timer: 3/29/2025 10:12:51 AMlightweights are garbage. best option is found verdict. your roll isn't amazing, though. It's not even close. Or a good slug. You can easily farm one from Iron Banner.

1 ReplyThe compass rose with threat detector is imo the best one you have listed here, in general handling is the most important thing on shotguns and precisions are the best frame.
-
First and fourth are Keeps. Rest don’t matter.
-
In my opinion found verdict has been amazing for me. With slide shot and opening shot I always felt like I could hit people from stupid range.
-
2 RepliesThe best shotgun for you is the one you can use most effectively.

3 RepliesThey’re all decent though I would look at your barrels too. Don’t use any barrels that effect pellet spread since Full Choke got nerfed awhile back.
