Does anyone use it? Never tried it to be honest but the 2 shot clip sounds like a pain.
Basically just wondering what the kill range is like on it as the description promises a closer grouping over range |

TL;DR Don't bother.
Tried all models available up to advanced level and IMHO it's not worth it. Spread is marginally better, but damage is not really cutting it. And you can not do the thing you'd do with real two-barrel: fire both salvos almost instantly. The delay between shots is longer than in normal shotty, go figure! Then you need to reload. Then you need to find ammo. I'm currently gathering SP to get CreoDron shotty, I've been told I will not look at anything else afterwards. We'll see.
Btw. Look at Shotgun Proficiency... either the description is wrong or I don't get something -- it allows you access to best shotty models and... deteriorates your pumping speed at the same time? WTH. |

Description is backwards. It does the opposite of what it says. |

I recommend the Duvolle Specialist, since it has lower CPU/PG & the same damage as the Creodron. I run a shotty on most fits, & have not found much success with the breach variants. They have great damage output, a very tight spread with extended range. But the 2 shot clip, reduced ammo, & combined with inconsistent hit detection makes the Breach shotguns a bigger liability than asset. |

To be honest, I imagine we'll see a LOT more Shotguns once the Breach Suits are in game. They seem to suit the idea of those suits. |

This is too funny. A month ago I started a thread on Breach shottys exactly like yours. I was concerned because they cost more and have low ammo and low refire rate making them plain horrible although admittedly capable of dropping non heavy suits in one shot at a usual shotgun range if stars line up right.
The replies I got from 'Experts' were like this: " you dont understand the uber power of breach, it's capable of droping heavies in one shot and it's the best shotty in the game, and if you are asking for more it will be too OP"
As it stands, Breach is a useless weapon because of its cost and drawbacks. I proposed increasing ammo to at least 3-4 or making it like a double barrel so that you can shoot both rounds in rapid succession. Both of these ideas got shot down a month ago. What do you guys think? Does breach need some sort of a boost to make it a usable specialty weapon? |

Breach shotgun compared to it's peers (least on basic level) is vastly inferior to other shotguns.
It would be ok to balance the damage/spead with single handicap but having more... Not worth using. |

They're on the EVE market already on the live server. The description implies they're basically scout suits with more shields and more weapon slots (I think it says two high slots?) and it's going to be used to rush down defenders. Seems shotguns will be perfect for em.

I even got a screenshot of it from EVE for you! :D

Wait. Are you saying ppl would be using more SG in general or more Breach SG with these suits? It does not make sense to me why anyone would want to use an inferior breach SG with a superior breach suit |
