1. Look at your radar.
2. Back peddle.
3. Use a sidearm or fusion.
4. Avoid being in tight spaces.
5. Land your shots when he or she is rushing.
6. Utilize the grenades given to you.
7. Get good.
One or more of these could help you in your fight against shotguns. They don't need to follow a specific order either. And remember. No matter how many times they nerf shotguns. You will still be trash.
Have a nice day.
Edit: Apparently some of you think a shotgun should NEVER kill you. Well hate to break it to you, but as long as shotguns can one shot, people will rush with them. Meaning you guys will keep crying. 8 nerfs and you guys are still crying. If that isn't enough proof that you guys will endlessly whine then idk what is.

Shotguns are the only weapon class that, without fail are complained about. Battlefield, CoD, Destiny, you get the point. My problem is that Destiny has had 9 shotgun nerfs (soon to be 10, eventually 11) because the devs know nothing than to Nerf, they have had the word buff surgically removed from their vocabulary. The solution to the pandemic is to reverse any nerfs to any weapon (minus the very original Mythoclast Nerf, the 34% one), same with reverse the special ammo nerfs.
