Nerf shotguns to the ground
-blam!-ing nerf them to oblivion for -blam!-s sake! Game is getting boring as -blam!-, everyone, including myself is running a shotgun!
Edit; this post has nothing to do with skill, I quite easily hold my own most matches. It’s to do with boredom 🤦♂️😂

6 RepliesBad news. With the nerf to fusion rifles, expect shotgun use in PVP to go up.

8 RepliesPersonally, I feel that shotties are fine where they are. They aren’t very consistent and they have an effective ohk range of 9, maybe 10 meters if you get really lucky. There’s a large gap between an ape and an actual good shotgunner. Being a good shotgunner takes situational awareness and knowing the exact range you will be able to get a guaranteed kill with your weapon. Being able to close the gap effectively and use cover to your advantage can also be a challenge against somewhat decent players. Not saying they are the most skillful weapons in the game, but it’s just something to take into account. I know they can get annoying at times, but people complain about them way too much when they are honestly very easy to counter imo. The problem I really see is entire stacks of players grouped up using them and sticking together. It’s much harder to counter 5 shotguns than 1 or 2. It’s not really a problem with shotguns, but a problem with the lack of weapon diversity and people not willing to expand their loadouts to other things.

I'm only using a shotgun because some asshole at Bungie came up with the seasonal quest bullshit. I would much rather be enjoying the game.

Shotguns are not the problem. Guardian mobility is the problem. Went up against a titan running max mobility, shoulder charge, catapult lift, and mindbenders. Try we did, but no one on our team could get away from them. We even tried to lure them into sight lines, but again, too fast for it to matter. And when I tried to use my shotgun, it missed every time due to sliding or shoulder charge (no I can not “look down” to shoot a sliding enemy, I’m on console). If and when worldline skating gets removed, titans will be the new speedrunners. The hunters going invisible with shotguns are a problem too. And if people can see you, then you’re doing it wrong. Invisibility is for sneaking up on radar and for disorienting enemies if you dodge behind them or move outside of their sight. [spoiler]dang I’m typing too much, my hands hurt[/spoiler]

As long as any nerf stays strictly in PvP, then I'm indifferent. If there's any negative affects to PvE, then kindly get stuffed.

1 ReplyIF you're bored just take a break maybe or find a new game? It doesn't matter what gun is meta or overused, people like you would probably still complain.

4 RepliesEdited by BOTPATROL8266: 2/19/2020 5:36:55 PMWouldn’t it be great if we had a meta where people just didn’t rely on ohk weapons so gunfights are more about aim and skill rather than crucible being a point and click adventure? Shotguns are one of my favorite guns in shooters because of the risk/reward factor when playing aggressive. But with the way people use them I’d rather they just remove them from the game. With the exception of chaperone because you have to go for headshots for the ohk. But waiting around a corner then rushing just before they turn the corner isn’t aggressive. It’s just camping with extra steps

1 ReplyOr...you can back up and snipe, or run a sidearm dude. Or use situational awareness? This shouldn't be hard for you. I have NF too so I know if I get killed by a shotgun it's probably my fault.
-
2 RepliesShotguns are fine. Outside of QuickDraw on certain archetypes they aren’t really that much of a problem. You might just not be that good.
-
1 ReplyJumping backwards whilst shooting helps. If they snuck up on you, then you probably would have died by any other weapon and a melee.
-
1 ReplyAhhh, I LOVE inconsistent kills from less effective range than several melee attacks! They definitely need a Nerf! You have summoned me.

6 RepliesWhat do you want? Side arm meta from the end of D1?
