The Dev Team's recent post about the soon to come weapon tweaks says that shotguns will now do 100% more damage in PvE (not PvP, in PvP they got a range nerf).
With this 2x damage bonus in mind, will you find yourself using shotguns in PvE now, or are they still un-appealing because of those alien melee attacks?

I use my shotgun on the Psion Flayer strike. Running up on those little guys and blasting them point blank in the face makes me smile :)
-
By further decreasing the range they still make it not the best option for PVE. Easier/safer to snipe/fushion.
-
No because damage was never an issue with them, range was. Why use a shotgun when I can snipe them and never even have to deal with them up close? I can think of a few instances it might be nice but not enough to make em a mainstay. But u do need that shotgun grimore score so we'll see I suppose!
-
Well, I need to work on them for grimoire. We'll see how they preform after the update
-
I will give it a shot when the update comes out
-
I wanna see how good swordbreaker is against hive majors now.
-
I never use that shit
-
Ill try them and especially try that invective on oracles cp
-
I'll keep my Invective handy, and switch between it and Ice Breaker. After the green ammo reserve nerf the invective will be very useful.
-
Now I can tell them to back the -blam!- up when lightswitch is on
-
I used to use pre nerf in VOG an now I have a reason to again
-
Universal remote... is finally a beast
-
I'm very curious to see how the Universal Remote performs after this buff. If it becomes a downright monster that can obliterate majors, then I could see it being a popular primary for certain melee classes like Defender Titans or Sunsinger Warlocks.
-
I already have been #1%
-
I just want the Grimoire card. Need like 3000 more shotgun kills. This will help.
-
Universal remote does 5k for a precision shot Who else will use a shot gun for atheon
-
Depends. If a shotgun has the same range as my melee attack in pve...I'm not wasting the slot with one.
-
Titan bubbles with shotguns..... just go shotgun only on everything. The new.speed run
-
Speed running strikes with my friends all running universal remote will be much more fun now
-
Oh hell yes. Can't wait to try out the found verdict on an arc burn nightfall. Get rekt reaver captains.
-
Sword breaker wrecks minotaurs already so a 100% increase is even better lol
-
I've always used them when it was effective (holding a point is where they shine.)
-
Ill definitely give it a try
-
-blam!- yes
-
My void shotgun is my go to for minitaur shields.
