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

I don't use them because they don't give me an overshield when I use them. If I use a shotgun I might as well melee something at that range, and my titan and warlock melees both give me overshields.

I use snipers most of the time, however if I'm bored I'll pull out the 4th horseman and use it, it is a lot of fun to use in pve

3 RepliesBecause they suck. None of my friends use one and would agree. But then, we don't PVP.

Shotguns are fun for low level enemies but generally I don't like petting things that wish to kill me ;)
-
I love my shotgun on my Titan (invisible Hand) it's got me out of a few scrapes .. Still looking for a good one for my warlock and my hunter

1 ReplyThey suck and are the opposite of fun to shoot.
-
I don't use them cause I have TLW and I have Black Hammer to snipe people cause I don't like close range.
-
I just prefer something with more range. Sniper above all, but I've been getting into fusions a little bit more lately. Light of the Abyss tears through enemies
-
Im the sniper that takes out any targets flanking my team so they can focus on the more high priority target with ease

1 ReplyIf shotguns had a good "stun" or "knock back" mechanic to stop an unflinching charging fallen captain going to one shot you Id use em else I'm getting the hell back and using a scout or ar

Because I practically have to be in melee range to use them which means basically I'm going to get killed the way that mobs swarm in PvE. And then their reload time is shite on top of that. Even the double damage in PvE buff that's coming up probably won't get me to use them. They'd need basically fusion rifle range in PvE for me to get much use out of them.

3 RepliesTerrible damage to enemies and they only work from point blank range.

Range sucks
-
Because I'm not terribly good or fast at this game. I tend to take my time and work my way through. As a result, my style is more sniping than anything. Of course, that makes me a poor high-level player where I need to move quickly and be 'busy,' but I've learned to live with it.

1 ReplyI don't like getting close. I have personal space issues.

1 ReplyBecause they suck. Not enough damage to compensate for the range.

Edited by KengSikZ: 2/6/2015 7:58:12 PMThe mag is too small for PVE. The damage is not up to par with other specials. Have to be very close range to do full damage/precision. Fun to use, just not really viable. I'm sure the 200℅ damage buff will ve very helpful. But the range nerf will make it not viable yet again in PVE. PvP really ruin it for PVE in this game, no offense to those pvpers.

Lack of range, for PvE I find that fusion rifles are better for close to mid range special and sniper the rest of the time.
-
Sniper is just a better option for me..
-
2 RepliesNo range. I like it for patrol and the first part of Crota's End and that's about it.

1 ReplyEdited by NathanW18: 2/6/2015 8:02:21 PMLack of ammo. They require you to get close to enemies that do quite a bit of damage to you. You're safer using a fusion or sniper rifle. To be viable, they need to do a lot of damage and stagger almost every enemy in the game. Even with the buff, people still won't use them much. End game PvE enemies do too much damage. You're safer staying away from them.

1 ReplyI'm sure plenty of others have said this but it feels to me like the damage was never high enough to justify picking it over a fusion, and once the enemies get that close to me I am screwed. Maybe after the patch they will be viable. :)
-
At this point were playing against enemies with light switch. If I get close and dont take them down. Its game over. Fusion rifles are beast, one shot most enemies at close to mid range. Limited ammo. capacity. Slow reload.
