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
-
Cuz bad kids use bad weapons
-
Never had a time where I'd need to pull one out. Fusion rifles do the same job but with more safely.
-
I would love to put some use to shotguns in PVE, but other Specials are much more useful in high level content.
-
I used to hate using them but then I got the Secret Handshake and that's when it all changed
-
3 RepliesPerfect example of why I don't bother with the shotgun. I'm watching the Bungie Art Tour of Venus. Twice now the "camera guy" has had a shotgun when heading to the ketch via Ember Caves. Both times it was all but useless against the Reaver Captain. That same Captain is quite manageable using an equal power Fusion Rifle, and with better range to boot.

2 RepliesI like sniping more for my play style, besides my efrideets spear is too OP lol
-
To close at that point I would rather MELEE or spray and pray

Edited by Halo3 Iceberg: 2/6/2015 10:55:14 PMHaving 3 different damage types of fusion rifles and 3 of snipers plus a few exotics, i just dont have the room. Also takes time to switch out from one type to another, having to juggle shotguns would take even longer. I would have liked a quick change mechanic like borderlands.
-
I actually like using the shotgun(found verdict) if i dont have my icebreaker equiped. It does really good damage on sepiks and phogoth but other bosses not so well.
-
I've always passed on shotguns because I feel fusion rifles do the same job better.
-
1 ReplyNot enough damage to justify the risk of having to get so close. This looks to be changing in the next update, so when that drops I'll be dusting off the old Invective and taking it for a spin.

Edited by Kovathos: 2/6/2015 10:32:04 PMShitty range and a fair number of enemies and situations do not go well with shotguns. Imagine trying to use shotguns on many of the boss enemies in this game, not easy. Try using a shotgun on valus tauric or phoggoth. Limited ammo doesn't help, though mitigated by extended mag and/or shotgun ammo perks, it's still rather little depending on the gun. That's pretty much it. other than that it does provide it's intended purpose of quick burst of dps. The range will be getting nerfed a bit again and the spread but... At least for pve it's getting x2 damage. So those 4 shotgun blasts today to kill prohibitive mind for the bounty will become 2. Which is a huge difference considering it's a major/ultra and it was invectis which does solar and not void for the shield.

They are just to risky. There is to high a chance of getting smacked into oblivion and when you are doing something like a weekly nightfall you want too lay safe. Shotguns are just to risky in PVE. PvP are good though.
-
1 ReplyI do, regularly, the swordbreaker vs Knights is a dream
-
Because I rely on skill. Not "OH SHIT!" *BANG BANG*
-
Lack of ammo for PvE. Seriously every time I pick up a special ammo drop it only gives me 4 shots! Personally I really enjoy my shotgun, but it runs out of ammo fast and then I'm not using it. Double the amount of ammo we pick up and can carry and I'll use my shotgun all day long.
-
Here's the problem: they're only decent in what is effectively melee range. Getting close to big bads is a good way to get killed. What about encounters where you're forced into point blank range? There the looooong reload is what kills me. I can't think of a single situation where I'd use a shotgun over a fusion rifle which is still effective at longer ranges, or just use my melee in PvE. Even when they double the damage, all those things will still be true.
-
I need the black hammer in ma lifeee
-
They just aren't versatile enough. They're really only good for close quarters combat and that really limits its uses to a handful or less of situations. Snipers and Fusion Rifles have far more situational uses. I like picking things off from a safe distance. I only tend to use shotguns when I'm running Defender on my Titan.
-
I couldn't give up my P&T if I tried.
-
Gosh, I like them on general principal, but against big enemies that rush you (Knights, minotaurs, captains,) there is no problem that a few shotgun headshots cannot solve.
-
I always use shotgun in pve or pvp but I occasionally switch to the sniper rifle in boss fights to make it a little easier

1 ReplyI love snipers, and the damage isn't great for a "pull out to save my soul" gun
-
I do. Every time one of my buddies needs help carrying through a friend in VoG Normal, I almost exclusively use the shotgun. Except for the Templar and Atheon of course.
