Astral horizon, felwinters, matador
Okay, so I've absolutely grinded on iron banner this week, every opportunity I get I've been on playing IB trying to get myself either the felwinters or matador and have seen a ridiculous amount dropping but still haven't manage to get one sooo...
With iron banner coming to an end it looks like I'm going to be stuck with my astral horizon, what are peoples opinions?? How much worse is it than felwinters etc??
From using it myself and getting quite a few kills with it my main negative is the recoil, it kicks back a hell of a lot when you shoot someone making it hard to get off a second shot, what are other shotguns like in terms of recoil?
Bottom line, should I bother using it??

I never see anyone using Astral horizon, must be a good reason though.

Party Crasher +1 ftw. Highest ROF of the ones you've named, same range, and as long as you have aggressive ballistics the impact loss is such a thin line you can barely see it.

But it's gimped by not being able to re-roll for Rangefinder or Shot Package. The recoil is bad on all three though, so if that's your main problem you'll want to look at different shotguns.

I just started playing the game 2 weeks ago and have already had two Matadors and a Party Crasher+1 drop for me in regular crucible. I don't think you need Iron Banner to get it.

Edited by I Law92 I: 6/8/2015 10:41:33 PMMajority of the time I will one shot but obviously not guaranteed, but that is why I wanted to know whether the other top tier shotguns have the same problem of the recoil other whether I was at a real disadvantage that its hard to get off a second shot. But yer I agree with the other comment I think its stupid it can't be re rolled when majority of new weapons can, the perks are fairly shit and do not really come in handy at all!

It has quite a slow rate of fire but the recoil kick back is severe so when going for a shot the aim is well off from where presumed I have got a lot more used to it and started to play a lot better with it but I'm just wondering what other shotguns are like whether they have the same problems etc?

Does Astral Horizon fire quick enough for the recoil to be a problem?
