Not really considering we have melees with range equivalent to our supers. Even then just double down on shots and it’ll still work with how the sandbox is
Edit: that shouldn’t have said double shotgun. It was to say double down on shots

Melees absolutely do not have the range or hitboxes of supers and running double shotgun is idiotic and pointless

[quote]Melees absolutely do not have the range or hitboxes of supers and running double shotgun is idiotic and pointless[/quote] I didn’t mean double shotgun check the edit. Also throwing hammer, ball lightning, synthoceps, tempest trike, deadly reach have very very long ranges similar to that of a melee super.

All of those except deadly reach and synthoceps have travel time and are therefor pointless against supers, and i still dont believe that synthoceps or deadly reach have the range and certainly not the hitboxes of a spectral blades or arc staff of fist of havoc shoulder charge attack but i havent tested so ill give you the benefit of the doubt. Even if the range is the same on the super and the melee, it’s the shotgun that really matters considering you have to be point blank to do full damage. If you try to shotgun a super from range that you would kill a normal person from, say maybe 8 meters, it would hardly do any damage. You have to shotgun them point blank and directly in the chest, and that still doesn’t even take down the shield of any roaming super.

Just pop them twice because you’ll have the ammo for sure.
