Why aren't YOU using Shotguns in PVE?
Do share, why don't you use them? And I'd rather have more specific reason than "I don't like them" (which is a valid reason ofcourse), because I'm curious why don't you like them.
Thank you!
EDIT: Typo, and thank you for feedback. :p
-
You need to be close enough to melee them for it to be useful.
-
The risk/reward just isn't favorable enough to give that slot to a weapon that is so extremely limited.

1 ReplyI do....
-
I rarely use shotguns in PVE because their overall Range is limited and their Reload is usually slow. The only I do use shotguns in PVE is for getting shotgun-related Grimoire.
-
I dont cuz i usualy use fusion rifles or sniper. Shotguns u gotta get up close and personal im the type who will sit back and kill from a distance.
-
I like to be a little farther off my prey. and until now the damage wasn't adequate enough to justify them over a fusion rifle or a sniper.
-
only reason i do not use shotguns in pve is primarily due to the fact that on harder things (raid, nightfall, etc) its almost always a death wish getting close enough to enemies to use a shotgun effectively. But after the patch im going to try it out still.
-
Let's see... Fallen: OK but a Captain will take you out with a Shrapnel Launcher before you land a shot on him. Hive: If you're that close to a Thrall or Knight (especially if Lightswitch is active) you dead. Vex: Same thing. Cabal: You wouldn't even get a shot off.
-
I love shotguns. But in pve right now, the damage just isn't high enough to justify using it over a sniper/fusion. The risk is almost never worth the reward. Super excited for the damage buff.

Edited by Vysi: 2/6/2015 7:38:19 PMNo range makes you have to go too close, especially with lightswitch being a common modifier
-
Nightfall + lightswitch = stay out of melee range or end up back in orbit. Shotguns arnt worth getting in close with fusion rifles are more efficient at close range
-
To be honest if an enemy gets that close I either punch them or have a bit of fun and try to no scope them with a sniper. Saying that I do have a rather tasty 7 shot full auto shotgun sitting in my vault that could be some fun.

2 RepliesRange sucks, FRs are more powerful.

Edited by OmniDevil: 2/6/2015 7:37:55 PMThey don't do enough damage, even to a Dreg, unless your point blank. With the incoming update to help increase their PVE efficiency, I may actually start using them.
-
Because I don't like being melee'd to death in end game content. Will reassess post patch.
-
I use the invective in some. it's great because it's automatic and just blows holes in big guys when you need that yellow life bad guy to go down you know.
-
I always use sword reader for bridge section of Crotas end or light in the abyss but sword breaker is great for when you get jumped by thrall
-
Well on a raid or any event that has a lot of enemies around your level the last thing you want to be in is punching distance. Fusion rifles or sniper rifles work much better because they pack punches from a safe distance.
-
1 ReplyI'm a sniper by heart. But I want to use them shotties. I really want to, but I don't feel they do enough damage per shot, they're so fun. And so I'm glad they're getting that PvE 100% damage buff.

1 ReplyI like seeing yellow numbers

I like to aim in PvE. Makes it more fun.
-
I do. I hop up on most bosses and just start blasting them.
-
Range
-
i do and i can't wait until they double the damge of the Universal Remote...Oh the implications!!!!! I'm almost foaming at the mouth with anticipation!

No Range, not that much damage. Rather use a sniper for Crit shots at safe range
