This is my first rant if that's what you want to call it but i'm getting really frustrated with shotguns.
I run a Gal Scout with no armor mods, no shield mods and all dampening, range and precision mods. I use Nova Knives and SMG primarily and I have had my fair share of deaths from the infamous shotgun scout.
C'mon guys, I don't mean to offend anyone but as a someone who has only run scout, the shotgun needs to be nerfed... this literal "one hit wonder" requires zero skill and hits like a mother even at the militia level!!!!
Let me set the record that I love nova knives and I suck at them... seriously guys I wish I could boast the numbers that some of these nova knife scouts boast but I get very little kills with them but I keep trying (I'll take advice from any seasoned NK Scout, please provide advice)
I picked up the militia shotgun for a few matches and OMG I am "Lord of the Battlefield" I have no skills in shotgun and I used a basic Gal Scout dropsuit with cloak and I suddenly am on top and I think this is wrong. Something has to be done to Nerf the shotgun...reduce the damage...do not allow scouts to use them.
As I said, I do not mean to offend anyone but the Shotgun Scout should NOT exist, its too easy and cheap and a slap in the face to all scouts who go it the hard way with SMG's NK's and basically any other weapon.
If you use a shotgun it should only be equitable without a cloak device or not equitable by scouts. I'm sorry but its too powerful and easy to sneak up on Assaults, Heavies and other Scouts while cloaked and pick them off in 1 or 2 shots.... sadly even with a militia version.
Have scouts given up on their difficulty level competing with Assaults and have just went to the one weapon that gets the job done easy? I just think it should be harder than picking up the shotgun because some of us work hard with the other tools of the trade and there should be balance in game... especially with cloak.
The shotgun scouts can all hate me but if I can rock on the battlefield with a militia shotgun, then this game is broken. As a scout from the beginning, I call for a nerf of the shotgun or make it unequipable by scouts using cloak.
Scout for life,

There have been plenty of times where I've heard a scout coming up behind me (whether they missed the first shot or something) and while I was back peddling and like 10-15m away, the shots still went through my shield like nothing (I have about 300ish shield on my STD suit).
Other considerations are reducing the mag well to 4-5 shots. Rapid firing 8 shots willy-nilly shouldn't be how it works; it should be more of a precision weapon, needing to get close and land accurate shots.
I think if a scout can sneak up on an unsuspecting target, he should be able to take it out rather easily. But he should be literally right on top of him, and if the target pulls range, even like 7-10m or so, the shotgun shouldn't be effective at all.
I think you are on to something... I mean the only weapon that should kill in 1 to 2 hits should be the NK, they are hard to use... the shotgun just seems like an easy killing machine. I think you are spot on with the distance and amo recommendations. It just sucks to spend months on skilling up other weapons only to have ONE militia version top them all. |

I don't think armor or shields would help a scout since it would not be enough of a buff. My issue with the GS is the ability as a scout to cloak, sneak up on someone and get off a shot that for most dropsuits, levels it. I think it shouldn't be that easy when all the other weapons require more practice and skill. Maybe delay the shotgun from the de-cloak more than it is now. |
