Found verdict. I understand the ice breaker is more attractive for most of the raid but atheon is where the shotgun really shines. Story time. We just finished the second time vengeance and got Athens health down to 10% left then the shield glitched and killed 4 players. Luckily one had resurrect and held the portal open while myself and another got teleported. My job was to do oracles. Now soloing oracles is almost impossible on hard, unless you have found verdict. Takes 3 shots to take down an oracle and reload time is relatively quick compared to corrective measure. I've seen 2 players unable to kill oracles in time (even level 30s) yet with this shot gun I can solo with the help of an occasional melee from a shield. It also tears through supplicants (don't get too close) and does sick damage with times vengeance (make sure you get out before he stomps on you lol). I'd say 1% of players I've played with use this gun. Just something to consider next time you play.
