As the title states, I believe the shotgun is too weak to be a primary weapon system. Even with the skills for it being less than the assault rifle, it doesn't have the damage to compete for effective game play. Add the severe short range and the low clip count and there is not much reason to use the shotgun at this time.

You have the choice to make it secondary if you want. As with any weapons. As long as you have the CPU/GP. |

I beg to differ. I often get upwards of 20/2 running my higher tier shotgun scout, even the militia one tends to net me 9/4 ish spreads. And that's with a TON of shots being eaten into nothingness. This new build is going to be very fun indeed

Terrible sound effect (few other weapons have this to sound seem all flat for want of a better word) sounds like hitting an empty oil drum with a stick. |

I kinda like the sound on the shotgun but its nowhere near as cool as the forge gun when it warms up. |

Standard shotgun takes 4 shots sometimes standing still behind a standing heavy. sometimes that doesn't do it!
Hit detection/lag can account for some. But I'm glad that this is getting fixed up... cause right now its like a bucket of water launcher. But not as effective in combat. |

There's currently a bug that makes the shotgun occasionally do no damage even on a direct hit. However, this is fixed next build, as well as a slight improvement to their effective range and slightly tighter spread. |
