the shotgun is a situational weapon, the problem is that making that situation happen is very very hard.
can we give it a faster cycle time and longer range?
or, make it a side arm, I loved having it on the black eagle. having an ar for ranged suppression and a shotty for when they got too close, it was a great combo. but that's what it was, a side arm, I maybe got 10 of 40 kills with it.
perhaps make a compact shotgun that fits in a side arm slot and is scout only so it isn't OP.

the lack of a high alpha side arm isn't the problem, it's that I love the shotgun but it's so hard to use and so underpowered even at close range it struggles to beat the AR.

Sadly my experience with the shotgun is outdated but it still looks good on paper imo. We need a shotgun specialist in here, this is relevant to my interests.

You mean the Ion Pistol? Supposedly it's going to be exactly what you want.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

I would support a compact version
Unlock it adv level of shotgun
Slightly less range
Less ammo (clip and total)
can fit in side arm
Maybe a wider spread (like a sawed off)
And slightly less pg/cpu

No buy more black eagles that will last you a lifetime.

I would like to see the breach shotty become a sidearm, i've thought that would be cool ever since i first used that gun. It really is more of a sidearm than a light weapon already.

My speculation is that the gallente pistol will be a "battle pistol" type weapon that's basically a mini shotgun......I'm thinking 3 rounds a clip but it packs one heck of a punch

it's okay, this thread was supposed to be about buffing the shotty so it's more useful. I only offered the sidearm shotty because it wouldn't really need anything to make a good sidearm. objectively the smg is probably a better choice than the shotty.

I can see it now.
Scout with a shotgun notices a heavy with a forge gun, he rushes as fast as he can to shoot him, the heavy turns, sees the scout rushing at him, realises his forge gun wont charge in time, switches his weapon instinctively to reveal a shotgun and BLAP!
I am part shovel, part man, full scout, and a little bit special.

The shorty is a good tool in skilled hands (like mine ;)...). If your a scout/shotgunner, you never want to take an enemy directly. Shoot them from the behind. Scouts have stealth skills for a reason. Anyways, if you want a primary weapon with a shotgun too, you should try to skill into the commando suit. One of my commando A-1 fittings include a GEK-38 and a CRG-3 shotty. It works pretty well and I use it in the same fashion you described using the black eagle scout in. |
