IMO, Shotgun is a little too good in some cases. I kind of wish there was more of a gap between STD/ADV/Proto as it feels a little cheap getting one/two-shotted by a militia or standard Shotgun. Per shot damage is high among all of them (480 at standard, 509 at proto, if memory recalls) which sort of curtails progression a little bit. The difference between a Standard Shotgun and a Prototype Shotgun is a 6% difference, whereas most other weapons are a bit higher (AR sits at a 10% difference from STD to Proto, Sniper Rifle is about a 9% difference, and the Nova Knives are a whopping 67% difference). That and 28 damage worth of difference only really matters in fringe cases, but another shot - even glancing - would be enough to put the target down anyway.

I totally understand if you get the drop on someone but it is slightly unfair for the person to not even have time to react or shoot back in a face-to-face fight, even at the standard level. Starting out, if you miss, it should be punishing. That's the nature of high risk/high reward and I think the lower tiers are a little too forgiving.

Did i kill you with a militia shottie yesterday? Cause i was purely running the MLT and rekking

Advanced and proto shotgun when you don't have confidence in your aiming or its a heavy getting reps. Just dance and rack the lever. Aim is not a factor in whether you should run std or proto. Not sure where you are going with that. I can tell you from a lot of experience that when dealing with a Sentinel, a proto SG is the difference between needing 3 shots to drop it or 4. First shot in back, second as Sentinel is aware and begins to spin, third while you are face to face and he is firing. With a std SG you often need a fourth, which means death.

You arent DANCING ENOUGH! I've racked whole clips into heavies with rep tools up their asses by min logis who just farm wp. It's funny watching his aim assist or his proto hmg suddenly just not work right. Then its a dead heavy and the logi gets no mercy either. Ewar? What's that? Some kind of fancy new way of being lazy?

With one clip on the basic shotgun can wipe out 2-3 people if your noticed that is one time wiped out 7 people before I was noticed only had to reload 2 bullets. I think it needs about half its clip n breach slow fire rate but more dmg so good for single targets not meant for groups. This would also pave way for a assault varient better range fast fire rate but less dmg FOR THE STATE ^(-_-) Cal Loyalist For Life
