It's my go to exotic right now since you can use pretty much use any legendary pulse rifle. But I will say this, it's not going to get you more than 2 kills. You're going to have to survive a Conspiracy Theory/Party Crasher shot in order to get a kill if you're going for a shotgun v. shotgun battle. It's great in trials for people going for a revive, but realistically the gun is not better than some of the year 1 shotguns that stayed at 170 light. Found Verdict was better, as was the original Felwinter with shot package. The reduction of distance on shottys makes it useful right now, but only because the other options have been nerfed to shit. With the next incoming nerf, it's probably going to outclass the other shotguns, but only by default.
