What were they supposed to do? As much as i hate to say it, shotguns are supposed to be a one hit KO at close range, thats what they are made for. The problem was how ridiculously easy it was to find special ammo. The problem wasn't that shotguns are overpowered, it was that everyone used one cuz its was easy to use, almost all the maps encourage very close quarters, and enough ammo spawned to allow you to always be ready for the next engagement. The problem was the quantity not the quality. Now shut up and hit triangle or y and behold. Its called a primary weapon, dont be scared, i know new experiences can be daunting. I want you to take that primary, wether it be auto rifle, scout rifle, handcannon, or pulse rifle, and i want you to use it, learn how it works, master it. You may fail at first for no one starts as the best, but be diligent, persevere, and you will unlock your true potential. K bye.
