De, When Can We Get A Real Shotgun Again?

[JerZeyCJ]

When can we just get a nice, standard either pump action or lever action shotgun? As it is now, the Redeemer, a melee weapon, is the best shotgun we've got in a while. And right now, many people consider the Phage, which really isn't all that much of a shotgun, to be the best "shotgun." Before the Kohm today(which is yet another gimmick shotgun and functions more like a gatling gun) we've gone more than three entire major updates without a single primary shotgun. So DE, please, give us a pump or lever action shotgun in U16 that functions like an actual shotgun and for the love of the Lotus, finally buff all the rest of the shotguns in general.

It's almost update 16, and the only shotguns worth talking about are the Boar Prime and Phage.

 

That's it. That's bad.

I said before in an earlier thread, I think in one of community hot topics regarding shotguns:

 

We need better mods for shotguns before we get better shotguns.

I really like the Phage but it is not a shotgun, at least not in the average player's conception of one.

Would soitanly be a start.

Hopefully buffing shotgun mods will come with whatever update includes the Shotgun fixes/buffs, because I can't imagine DE not giving Shotguns a look at after Snipers, since they are almost as bad as snipers were. And hopefully we'll be given a shiny new shotgun with that update as well, whenever it comes.

Reverting the changes to falloff and proc chance per pellet would fix the majority of shotguns.

I feel like the Hek is worth mentioning, but. That's because the only shotguns I have are Hek and the Phage. But the Phage feels more like some sort of spooky Infested flamethrower that isn't the Embolist. 

 

Seriously though, the Phage feels more like a flamethrower or an Infested Flux Rifle of sorts. Sure, the beams are spread out and are more effective up close, but when you focus the beams it feels like you're running around drawing on things with Viral-based death.

I'd pass on the Boar Prime and go for the Sobek. I've been trying to level the Boar Prime and Forma it (just because I find that entertaining), and it's been a miserable slog. It's just TERRIBLE. At least with the Sobek, I have more shells to spray out.

There's only 3 snipers (available) in total, and the most recent one was introduced in update 10. So yah. There's that too.

I was honestly expecting the Buzzlok to be a sniper and still think it should be, but that's another topic entirely.

This is not a shotgun:

I'm waiting for a lever-action shotgun which will be reloaded in Terminator-like style.

 

Then my life will be complete.

Strun wraith if your in PvE.

 

 

 

I miss when it was crit / pellet... :/

I still hold the belief that we need to tweak or change Shotgun Mechanics before thinking about new damage mods.

I didn't say new. I meant buffing the existing ones, they're way behind the rifle ones.
