The shotgun's reign of terror is coming to an end. And shotgun player's tears taste delicious.
Sorry shotgun players. No more cheap easy kills. You better get some actual skill if you want to keep using the shotgun. No more sliding into a doorway and killing someone all the way across the room. No more blinking near an enemy and blasting him for a kill. No more charging around a corner and killing an enemy in one shot at a ridiculous distance. If you want shotgun kills when the update hits you're going to have to actually get up close and personal.

Overnight sidearms are going to go from being used by about 9 people to being the new "needs to be nerfed" weapon lol.

I've heard this before
-
Plan c used a fair bit just fusion rifles far too dependant on lag will be great with slight buff i think although perk is temperamental sometimes does not kick in sometimes kicks in when holding for a while.

14 Replies"Reign of terror"? You think? You were actually terrified of shotguns? Did you rage-quit when the opposing team showed up equipped with Felwinters that had Aggressive Ballistics, Hammer Forged, Shot Package, and Rangefinder? Or did you say, "I got to get me one of those!!!" NO weapon in this game has ever "terrified" me, mister. "Slight annoyance" is the farthest I will go. If you wanted a "reign of terror", you should have been around for the original Vex Mythoclast, with its 56-round magazine, scout-rifle range, insane accuracy, and 1-second time to kill. Its mere appearance in the Crucible caused mass quitting on the other team. It had a patch dedicated exclusively to fixing it. Those were the days....

6 RepliesThey went WAY overboard with the shotgun nerf. People already needed to be close to get a shotgun kill... Now they need to be within melee range ???? That's just BS and not even remotely realistic. I have a conspiracy theory D with range finder and I already need to be way close to get a kill, now it's going to be a joke.

Edited by magik2642: 11/26/2015 9:44:53 AMOnly people who use shotguns as snipers are gonna feel the nerf since I always use it on like other guardians face I don't see a problem with this nerf.
-
They will still use it. and i will teabag shotgunners. When i snipe them😅
-
1 ReplyMy question is which melee are they basing the nerf off of. Warlock, Titan or Hunter. They all have unique styles of melee so which will compare to the new shotgun nerf.
-
I remeber when I used a shotgun and NO ONE CARED.

Edited by The Fallen Zyzz: 11/26/2015 9:37:26 AMGive it a few months before the sniper players are the forum's punching bag of choice. These things tend to work in cycles. It's just like how theists used to be the Internet's punching bag a few years back and now Atheists have taken that spot. Fedora jokes, bananas up the ass and so on. The internet atheist is the laughing stock of the modern net. Soon, sniper rifles will become the vilified "OP" weapon that everyone wants nerfed.

Isn't this what y'all said last Nerf?

9 RepliesI ran through TOO and hit IB 5 in the past week and there was maybe 2 players (both blink strike Hunters) that were using shotguns exclusively. Both were also going red - green bar throughout the match, so I'd guess they were lag switching too. So I just did not encounter a rash of Shot Gunners on any of the maps. Snipers and pulse rifles are far more common.
-
Scrubs will still complain
-
2 Replies'cause it takes so much skill to sit at the back and shoot. Little girls use snipers. Real men gird their loins for battle...and grab a shotgun.
-
on to the next "big thing" says all the shotgunners
-
You gonna hate side arms so much...
-
Damn I just got a party crasher to drop for me
-
Bet shotgunners still make forum warriors cry. Also, I think the nerd may be a bit excessive. Imo all they needed to do is balance high impact shotguns so that rifled barrel + rangefinder on a conspiracy theory didn't end up being a 10 yard sniper.
-
Yep, now it's cheap and easy body shots plus primary/grenade from sniper rifles.
-
There will always be another op weapons class...be careful what you wish for
-
24 RepliesI liked the thorn/tlw + sniper shotguns meta more :( It rewarded people with quick aim and reflexes. Now everything is about holding down the trigger until someone is tickled to death.
-
Coming to an end? I still have my Felwinters lie... and I'll still be using it lol Thanks
-
2 RepliesThey ninja nerfed snipers back with the taken King update and ppl are complaining about AA and quick scoping. I miss being able to sprint cancel after reloading to instantly shoot again but now that delay is there that always throws me off. They should be happy because it could be worse
-
1 ReplySomeone posts this EVERY TIME they adjust shotguns..and guess what? After the patch you'll still be killed by shotguns
-
Mmmmm, nice and salty.
-
Don't worry, it'll be up close....and personal.
