Shotgun vs Scattershot


What is the best weapon off shotgun and scattershot.
When I have scattershot and standing behind a wall i always take suicide and get’s a kill.
But i fell scattershot fires faster

I always do better with the classic Shotgun.

The scattershot is too inconsistent. The range at which it one hit kills always seems to change.

The shotgun is better because it makes a easy cqc kills.
The scatter shot must be timed exactly to make cqc kills.

But the scatter shot is better against Knights than the shotgun in Spartan ops and campaign.

The Shotgun is, without a doubt, the better choice. It has received a considerable range buff since Reach, and is able to take out enemies at much longer ranges in a single blast, but commonly just 2 shots.

The Scattershot on the other hand is a super inconsistent and weak version of the Shotgun. The pellets aren’t hitscan and disappear at random distances, while spreading out in such a wide grouping. Getting a one-shot is complete luck.

I’d say the Scatter shot can do anything the shotgun can do and more. It’s just a lot harder to do.

While we’re on the subject has anyone noticed that the Scatter shot has replaced the shotgun completely on the map placement. Even in the bottom green section on Shutout!

Shotgun…Scattershot maybe great, but the shot spread of the weapon is short.

the advantage of the scattershot however is that you can fire very quickly, if one shot doesn’t get the kill you can spam the trigger
where as the shotgun if you miss close up, slight delay before the next shot

That is true…usually i like using the Scattershot, problem is it seems that i have to take 2 or 3 shots to actually get a kill.

I personally love both of them, tho very rarely use them in MM.
I agree with everything that has been said about both there strengths and weaknesses.

The shotgun is more powerful than the scattershot, but we can’t have all power weapons do the same thing. The scattershot is still good and you can still get 1SK’s with it.

Shotgun. Maybe it is because of the crappy internet connection I always have, but I can never get the one shot kill with the scattershot that I can get with the shotgun. To be honest the only Promethean weapons REALLY worth a damn are the Binary Rifle and Incendiary Cannon.

I’m going to have to say scattershot.

I love em’ both. Having mastered both (2 kills away from shotgun). I feel like the scattershot is best. Due to it’s fast shots, which is very good for when you have multiple players around you. Once you get the timing right then you’ll see it’s full potential.

Also if you don’t kill someone with the shotgun with the first shot you have to kill him with the second. If not the other player will most likely kill you by then. Not the same case with the scattershot, I have killed players from a small distance with rapid shooting when I fail with the first shot.

I love them both. They’re both really fun to use and they sound great. That shotgun shot is really strong and powerful, and I love how the scattershot just clicks together when you pick it up.

The classic is more powerful, but the Scattershot can ricochete off of walls.

Shotgun has a much better one shot range, but the scattershot fires faster and is a bit more fun. I think the shotgun is better, but the scattershot is more fun.

Boltshot FTW!!!

I’m kidding, I hate that gun.

I’ll say shotgun. The Scattershot is too inconsistent.

You mean the shotgun and the lottery-gun?

Yeah I will take the shotgun any day

The scattershot has a very strange range. Far, of course, it takes more than one shot to kill. Just out of the shotgun’s range, it is 1 hit kill. At point blank it is 2 hits. LAWL.

Shotgun all the way

Second to CE!

It’s only good for killing Grunts and Jackals quickly. Sometimes useful for killing Knights. And the occasional suicide when you want to respawn on Co-op or ‘revert revert’.
