    So you have to be a MASOCHIST to main a SHOTGUN

    I mean the state of SHOTGUNS right now is that you will only play it if you like to experience PAIN

    I run a shotgun as a second primary and use it all the time. Granted they do need a serious buff and the melee damage is beyond pointless but I still like them. They even work well as a primary in pvp. I run my lullaby in conflict and it's usually a 2-3 shot kill. Sometimes just a little tap after two shots and they are down.

    The only way is to place a turret, then throw a fire grenade or release cluster seekers then go to town with a shotgun SPAS being the best of the bunch, (mines at 192K damage, my secondary 870 is at 150K damage and my sidearm double barrel is at 203K damage) I tested my new shotgun build against an elite patrol it worked, not great but got the job done. it also needs a lot of min/maxing and recalibrating.

    I now use a shotgun as my secondary (switched from AR after the TB update) and I like it. I found one that has 147k damage and it's a high-end. My Lullaby DMG is 97k or something pathetic. The shotgun is fantastic when you pick up shock rounds. One shot shocks them enough to switch to your primary and finish them without receiving one shot back.

    I only use shotguns when they drop a higher GS to my secondary. For me, they tend to drop with pretty decent perks/talents. So I always keep one in a loadout some where.
    Buff ours not the npc. They're sitting just fine where they are.
