This is Utter Bollocks!!!!
Nerfed for a SIXTH TIME!!! And this time to oblivion!
I love how a Sniper Rifle, is adjusted to act like a real life Sniper Rifle, yet a shotgun has been turned into a Potato Gun!
Damage drop of from the range of a Melee attack! A FÜCKING MELEE ATTACK!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING!!!
A Shotgun is supposed to blow holes clean through people at around 15 - 20 feet! And now, well my Shotgun bullets won't kill you, but my follow up Melee attack will! What a pile of shit!!!
Movement speed decreased... So now I'm just a slow moving easy to hit Target that can be picked off by a sniper, because my ability to strafe quickly between environmental cover has been seriously hampered!
I have always mained a Shotgun, in any FPS I've ever played, not because I'm a scrub or a Noob, but because it's suits my run and gun style of play (and believe me, it wrecks my KD when I come up against a well organised team unless I'm on point), and now, you've absolutely ruined them, and why? Because dumb fücks can't get their heads around the physics that close quarters, a Shotgun will win hands down! And can't get to grips with the whole "Keep your distance" ethic, so they cry some more like little bitches until they're heard! Which for the 6th time they have!!!
This game is a fücking joke and purely caters for casuals! Tonight I'm buying Fallout 4!
Edit 1 - Thanks to all the Shotgun supporters and users for taking an honest interest in this thread, and thanks to those with common sense that stand by me against the Trolls, KD whores and Dreamers that call themselves "Skilled"

Also shotgunners complaining about shotguns when shotguns are the best weapon to use in the new maps do to the way they are desing.

Simple solution, take your best shotgun and skydive with the titan which is the fastest guardian outhere and kill people and keep moving.

Couldn't agree with your post more, and I don't even use shotguns. Bitching and morning since launch have led to more and more nerfs. This one will be the nail in the coffin for shotguns. Seriously, if they're that much of a problem, just take the fvcking things out of the game. Also, just go buy Fallout 4, dude. I've been playing it since it launched. It's a great game and a great change of pace from the punishment of playing Destiny. Haven't touched Destiny in a month anyway. Destiny seems to be dying. I've gone from being a die hard fan to not giving a shit (and honestly hoping a little bit that it dies). The developers just continue to punish players, and I'm sick of it. I have never played any game on any platform that has punished me for playing like Destiny has. It's just stupid, and I don't have any desire to play anymore.

1 ReplyYes, totally agree. I don't even run a shotgun, but I think these nerfs were far too much. They are making shotguns complete trash as far as range goes, and if that wasn't enough, they are punishing people for using shotguns. Decreasing movement speed, equip speed, and even ads speed is going to completely kill shotguns. After this patch, the meta is going to be completely scouts, auto rifles, and snipers.

Lol bro it has nothing to do with complainers. Bungie is going off of numbers. They could care less how we feel about it. Like cmon man open those eyes, you're playing a vast business plan, nothing more

2 RepliesPvE will be ruined with this update

6 RepliesNow Shotty fags are trying to get sniper rifles nerfed? I've heard no one complain about "Aim assist" before TTK. It seems to me that people are complaining because better players are using a special that takes more skill than a shotgun.

1 ReplyEdited by Excarkun: 11/22/2015 5:16:59 PMI said it before and I'll say it again the maps are designed for close quarters 90% of the time you have no choice but to pull your shotgun out majority the time to kill people in these pvp maps. No if bungee would get off their asses and actually make maps bigger and wider for the sniper friendly cry babies then that would solve the problem. I Also came up with the idea that certain play list in PvP that will only allow you to use certain weapons during the PvP event. Why this has not been adapted or both idk..seems to be too much obvious solutions to the issues in catering to the cry baby sniper crowd.

1 ReplyI think the range on shotguns was ridiculous. Don't blame the people crying about shotguns when you're type of play style ruined them.
-
1 ReplyWell the thing is shotguns are a bit annoying, but I agree with the 5th nerf. Now it's just insane, also aim assist on snipers only slows down the reticule not a JFK magic bullet
-
1 ReplyThis is how I felt when they said Hand Cannons were going to be shitty primary shotguns with the 2.0 update.
-
1 ReplyUse sidearms scrub. Forces you to make head shots.
-
1 ReplyI do agree they needed them too hard here
-
1 ReplyBungie made shitty maps that cater to shotguns and then the nerf babies come out and cry I just use an Eirene and TLW
-
1 ReplyI don't disagree.

1 ReplySpeaking as someone who spent much of the last 6 months using the Matador with Shot Package and more recently the Party Crasher or Conspiracy Theory D with rangefinder, I do feel those shotgun types were just too easy to get kills with. I'm not sure though that the level of nerf Bungie are implementing isn't a step too far, but it remains to be seen

5 RepliesLove it scrubgun domination will be over and they have to actually use their PRIMARY weapon ;)

4 RepliesEdited by Sixclicks: 11/23/2015 5:04:04 PMI don't think the latest upcoming nerf is needed, but everything up to now has been completely warranted. Shotguns wouldn't have needed nerfed if Bungie's map design didn't pander so hard to shotguns all this time. But unfortunately for you the majority of the maps make using a shotgun such a joke that the only solution was to nerf them since Bungie obviously isn't changing their map designs. And your attack on snipers in that edit is bullshit btw.

1 ReplyI honestly think the true fix is to have less special ammo in pvp matches. They reduced it once before but I always have a ton of special ammo. If they want us to not rely on things like shotguns or snipers give us less ammo in pvp. Also, fix fusion rifles.

5 RepliesSince we casuals put the most money into games, I hope they nerf shotguns and snipers to hell and back. Just because of this rant.
-
1 ReplyDecember: Omg shotguns suck now! BUFF BUNGIE! Buff!
-
1 ReplyAgreed, just because we can slide and maneuver to get close,doesn't make the shotgun op, also same goes for a sniper. Just. Beacuse I kill you with 1 shot ,doesn't make it a litc. Take into factor you shields and health level at the time you are shot, I would like to add that since the litc came out,I can count on 2hands the amount of times it 1 shot.

1 ReplyOh my god Scott your tears taste so good !!
-
I use shotgun as secondary almost exclusively. I actually like the mobility aspect and wish they would extend it. Primary weapons-you get full movement Secondaries-reduce movement (as they are generally bulkier) except for sidearms(this would be their key benefit) Heavys-severely reduce movement (just seems weird you can still sprint with a big launcher or machine gun) except for swords(keep them at the secondary speed) Just a quick thought, not sure how it would play out.

3 RepliesThey should make it so they all hit at the same distance say 5 feet that's reasonable, not nerf then to a titans melee. May as well make all snipers bolt action, heavy, with a terrible relaod then.
