The fact that a special weapon (shotguns) is better in almost every way than a heavy (swords) is absolutely ridiculous. Move swords to kinetic/energy slot & shotguns to heavy slot, as shotguns are more effective in swords’ range.

I'm a sword fan myself, although I rarely see any others using them!! From a pve perspective, and maybe this isn't what you're referring to, I much prefer them in fact!! Could do with some improvements though; we definitely don't have swords as good as the dark drinker or the raze lighter!!
