I am starting to consider the shotgun my 2nd favorite weapon next to the assault rifle, for the sole purpose that having a shotgun is my insured way of rubbing out 10-20 people a match, insuring me a good 20k-30k of sp. 
And all this from solely using the Militia Shotgun. 1 shot or 2 shot, the joy of sprinting a player, dodging assault rifle rounds (save for the most skilled aimers, or well leveled and well equipped, a rarity for me), and BLAM, melting their face with my spread shot, it warms the cockles of my mercenary heart.  Snipers, HAH, don't stand a chance once I spotted them. Only the Heavies can be the only ones to say they can best (by virtue of their high armor, which even to this day, I still think they don't have enough HP in them).
Still, I am adoring the shotgun as the alternate assault weapon, especially in the close quarter matches inside the middle fortresses of some maps. I am almost tempted to think it is the most overpowered thing next to tanks, hahahahahahaha.
Have any of you have been swayed by the sweetness that IS, the CRG-3 Plasma Shotgun? |

Eh, only at close ranges. Anything beyond 5 meters, and the shotgun becomes useless. I've had skilled assault players kite me effectively, keeping their distance where the assault rifles are deadliest.
In many ways, shotguns hold a true spirit of Gallente martial prowess, short range with insane firepower unmatched by other Empire weapons (we like our fights close and personal, hehehehe). |

Why are they OP? Because there's so many people in Dust that are stupid enough to get close to a person with a shotgun? I can't tell you how many times I've had a player charge at me when he had an assault rifle. :-/ If they get within the shotgun's severely short range, they deserve to die. |

When I first saw shotguns in the market I thought they would be the worst weapon choice due to the large open maps. So I was pleasantly surprised at how viable (and fun) they are to play with.
I've been mostly playing with the tactical assault till now just because range and accuracy seems king. But if you are clever about flanking and getting in close it can get exciting.
I'm not sure how the militia shotgun is supposed to be OP. It seems comparable to other weapon militia variants. I've heard the shotguns in general are OP argument in other games and don't buy it. Especially not in this game where you really have to work to get close to an an enemy. |
