It occurred to me in shotty snipers last week, but I always felt frustrated when I was “sniped” by a shotgun from what I assumed was an impossible range for a CQB weapon like it is. Its happening in the Team Doubles playlist again…I’m getting frustrated from the range of the shotgun, killing you in 1 shot when at times it feels like it should only…erm make you half shields?
Well, do you have an video examples?
I actually think it needs to be buffed. The range of the standard Shotgun seems to be smaller than in previous Halos.
omg i have a feeling you played destiny and complained about them on b.net
halo shot guns have always been fine
the exception is that 343 said ADS would not change aiming
well with automatic and shotgun weapons it helps a crap ton
ADS with a shotgun reduces teh spread allowing it to be more leathal at range (not much though)
its still 2 to the body, one them melee or point blank OHK
The shotgun is fine.
After Halo 1, the shotgun just became a camping weapon because the range was so short & I’m glad those days are over.
When the shotgun actually has a little bit of range to it, it encourages skilled play because you can take a risk with rather than anything beyond point blank being a risk.
when you ADS on the shotgun it adds 1 meter to the instant kill range.

This is great to know! Thank you. Have you tried the crazy ultra rare shotgun in Warzone?
Look, it’s a power weapon. It’s fine. The maps are small, so in general CQC Weapons are more effective. The Energy Sword has some serious range when you ADS, but the Shotgun is immensely powerful at close range. When BTB comes next week, the Sniper Rifles and Anti-Vehicle weapons will almost certainly be the “Over-Powered” weapons of the week. Look, this ain’t Destiny. Please don’t turn Halo into that.
it’s because of smart scope, I still need to adapt to that

The Oathsworn, a.k.a, Kelly’s shotgun? No, but I have tried it in Co-op campaign. It just destroys everything.
…or maybe I should say it REQs everything.
And how about Warzone maps? There you can feel that the shotgun’s effective range is very short, forcing the player to keep the fight in confined places or sneak close to enemy positions. Also, it’s a slow firing weapon, slower and harder to use than pump action shotguns from other fps. That said, it’s risky to claim for buffs or debuffs… maybe the rare shotguns were created to compensate the flaws and guarantee a better use in Warzone.
The Blaze of Glory and Oathsworn ate incredible because the are one shot on kill and have a longer range. Great for base or core defense IMO.
