Shotguns are good for the game, someone needs to kill those no skilled dog spitfire players, otherwise that stupid gun is the best at every range. i love to grapple right into a spitfire players face and blast his head off with a shotgun.

the game would legit be so boring if shotguns didnt exist.

imagine apex legends where people only use spitfire and snipers. do you really want a game like that???

    The problem isn't the damage the Shotguns dish out. Thinking back to it, I think almost every PvP and PvE shooter I have ever played has made shotguns a one-shot-kill weapon. It's the viability. EVA-8 and Mastiff are extremely forgiving shotgun that still pack a massive punch. Both can shoot pretty quickly, deal 2-tap damage in early stages and they have usually a very easy-to-predict pattern.

    Some of these problems could be solved by making mobility less of a balance issue but hey, what do I know, I just keep dying to the same things over and over again with no way to counter it.
