A lot of people have been afraid of that because the Scatter Shot is an Ordinance weapon, they thought the Shotgun would be a primary. Chris from 343 (Don’t know his last name) pretty much confimed that it is an Ordinance weapon in the latest bulletin, whether it’s a POD or the predictable drops is unknown however, although I have a feeling it’s the latter with the Scatter Shot being in the POD.
> Chris - The new Shotgun model is SICK and definitely reads as a bit more futuristic than the previous versions. It actually has a lot longer range now, less damage falloff, and is quite a bit more powerful than say the Reach version overall, but some of that dialed up power is countered by the other changes in the game like Sprint by default, mobility-based Armor Abilities, and generally faster movement speeds. This is definitely one of my favorite ordnance weapons. I especially love finding one when I have the Speed Boost in MP.
