Know I really like me some shotguns, even though I never use them? Why don't I? Because they are outclassed too far in PvE. I used to play a shit ton of PvP, but then I discovered nightfalls and raids. In the crucible they have their place, as Close Quarters only weapons that can one shot when used correctly. But in PvE they are worthless. I've tried using Found Verdict and the Invisible Hand (pre-expansion) and they were awful. Only decent at the closest of ranges but at that range either you're gonna get wrecked or the shotgun isn't doing enough damage. Honestly, I believe shotguns could use some major improving in the PvE aspect of the game, and not be used solely for PvP. The House of Wolves is supposed to have an exotic shotgun called Lord of Wolves which may be the raid exotic and its perk says "Rapid Hits on a target, may cause the target to be set on fire" so its similar as the Thorn but the perk isn't gonna help in PvP because its a one shot. You may think "Why do I want this?" and I say it is for PvE. Because shotguns suck so much that they had to add a DoT effect for them to be usable. I really hope this gun is awesome because its time shotguns are powerful again. Universal Remote is considered one of the worst exotics in the game, but it is just legendary with a cool perk. (Greatly extends range and precision damage when ADS) which is great for PvP. Invective is great as well (Currently doing the bounty) Full Auto with Well-Rounded Stats. And the 4th Horseman..... We won't talk about that Black Sheep. TL;DR: Shotguns need to be improved in PvE
