An old guardian asking for help
I’m old and washed up for starters, not what I used to be. Any tips on how to deal with this shotgun meta that’s running all over pvp? They seem so over tuned it’s crazy. Maybe I’m just that bad

Also use one, yourself. I mostly use shotguns/ sidearms. With a sidearm you can mostly easily counter a shotgun. -
Stasis warlock, freezing rift. Freeze them when they push, shatter them. Profit.

Just keep your distance. I'm running a service revolver/Misfit combo that works great at distances. If you don't have a Misfit, just use a Riposte (same gun meta). Don't get too close!

Edited by FrenetiCreature: 7/6/2026 5:49:45 AMGet a good sidearm with Precision Instrument, and just always expect everyone to have a shotgun, so that you're always keeping your distance. If you get one with good enough stats that you can put Icarus on it, whenever you take a corner with an enemy around it, jump up into the air to round the corner and shoot down on them. And if an Ape comes running at you, most sidearms can burn them down before they make it to you. Edit- Heliocentric Compact Defender Forgiveness Can all roll with Precision Instrument.

Honestly man, Sturm and Drang been getting me party invites and messages. But not sure if that's your style.

As the old saying goes, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

OP: Pulse or Scout / Drang 👈 🖖👻

Maybe try to use a sidearm as your secondary weapon? I use one and even though I'm pretty mediocre, it works relatively well for me in close quarters.

Fusion rifles work.
