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

4 RepliesShotguns are fun and hard to use in pve... I wouldn't use them in a weekly/nightfall/raid... but in roc strikes it's fun to take the boss out with a shotgun...

1 ReplyWho has time to run up to every enemy and shove a shotgun down their throat when you could just pop head shots from a distance.

Easy answer there shotguns

Edited by Whttle: 2/7/2015 12:55:02 PMI use them rarely, but avoid the found verdict. That thing is too OP for me, I actually feel guilty using it. On another note, shotgun/blink strike is a deadly combo when you have Fast Twitch selected

2 RepliesBecause a secondary should hit hard without you having to be within melee distance of something strong. Your not using a secondary on dregs or thralls (unless you use 1 in the abyss) so it's usually on a boss or yellow health bar enemy and shotguns put you too close without doing significant enough damage to warrant using one.

1 ReplyI do, check my titan ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I only use them in patrol, any other mode you can't get close enough to do the same damage as a sniper with the added danger of getting curb stomped, and the ammo capacity isn't large enough for PvE in my opinion... Universal remote is still a fun gun to play with!
-
Will this mean the universal remote will be a power house now?
-
Because I use Icebreaker so much in PVE I don't even think of putting any other gun in that slot.
-
I love using shotguns on my titan. That plus force barrier, it's pretty fun. Punch everything for orbs and whatever needs two punches (vandal, acolytes, legionairies) shotty to body and punch. The one I have on is full auto and void, so it's a praerorian killer. Super useful in VoG conflux when they get close.
-
Because my only shotgun is blue.
-
Because snipers do more dmg, cover longer distances and are safer to use.
-
I use them if I'm patrolling, but if I 'm doing a Nightfall and someone's in Shotgun range, they're probably just gaming to punch me dead. Fusion rifles have a pretty solid range, so if I'm looking "close" range weapons, that's what I go with.
-
Because of the range.
-
Yeah completely useless when popping in and out of cover
-
I'll use Invective and Found Verdict. Both can deliver a sizeable chunk of damage quickly. With the buff to damage dealt I'll probably Try out some others
-
Lightswitch.
-
I always use them. Shotgun is OP in close range right now and with the buff it will wreck. Taking down a hive major is as simply as that : Throw a sticky get close keep spamming shotgun until he dies. Job Done.

I have played the Raids a handful of times, but I don't consider myself a raider.[/spoiler]If you are shooting a shotgun in PvE, that means that you have left cover to get close to your enemies. That's a bad idea to do on the Nightfall, and to a lesser extent on the Weekly Heroics. The incoming damage is just too high to justify leaving cover. That's saying nothing of enemy melee attacks, which you are suddenly put at risk of. When a Knight can hit you with his sword while you're shotgunning his ankle-biting Acolytes, you're gonna have a bad time. For something like the Pit in CE raid, you would think shotguns would perform well, but there are simply too many Thralls to deal with before your magazine is empty. Swarms of enemies quickly overwhelm a shotgun's firepower. [spoiler]Bungie's logic is eluding me here. I thought strike bosses had the ground-pounds to specifically discourage shotgunning them. It sounds like they're saying "Hey, don't use a shotgun here. Wait, why is nobody using a shotgun?!"[/spoiler]

Inability to use shitguns in pve Lv 30- = crap player.

4 RepliesEdited by VeryOffensive: 2/7/2015 12:08:46 PMOne their nerfed and getting another nerf on top of that its like "hm I'ma shot gun cotten ball slugs and hope I make something flinch" I do use them in pvp tho its kinda pointless but they got to serve a use some where or become scrap
-
I don't like to get that close and if I do its a melee I use not a shotty
