Get this trash gun out of the game already, it is so useless, nobody uses this garbage gun. A stock Peacekeeper is 100 times better. I can hit someone 10 feet away for 12, but can use a Peacekeeper out of an Ar's effective range for like 80.
Honeslty don't know why this gun is still in the game, useless content that takes up a loot spawn.
Still no point in using anything other than R99 and Peacekeeper.
Since PK got the buff, PK is ultimate shotgun in the meta right now, mastif is less powerfull now.
@asukojowhich is mind boggling since it was already strong. That is some stellar logic from the devs. Real men/Women of genius!
I always grab Mastiff just something about it that makes me do well with it as rare as it is I find one.

Nah Mastiff overpowers PK. 165 damage shots from Mastiff, versus 110 from PK. Mastiff is also the only weapon that allows you to interrupt reload process after you put in 1 or 2 shells if time is a factor.

@EThought113213I've seen it do 200+ to low profile targets (in a YouTube video, not my personal experience) so I doubt it's as trash as you say it is, haven't been able to use it or the Kraber since I started S3 so can't say how it handles the longer range duels
Yeah close range headshot pumps one shots someone with a Mastiff, it can deal like 260ish.
I think it's currently more personal preference but I'll take the Mastiff over the PK every time
The peacekeeper is in a really good place after the recent buff what makes it more forgiving for not being 100% accurate.
However, I think the Mastiff is still the best shotgun in the game.
It's basically a more reliable peacekeeper with more damage and a higher fire-rate but with a reduced effective range.
I find the mastiff super inconsistent. Or maybe I must just miss with it as I have shot players 3 times and not gotten a knockdown. I prefer the PK now, I seem to get more consistent damage with it
Mastiff is better vs. bigger targets (obviously due to horizontal spread), so it's very good against Path, Mirage, Gibby, etc. who've got bigger than most hitboxes. It's not so great against smaller targets (Lifeline, Wraith, Bloodhound surprisingly) simply due to there being less horizontal mass to aim for. Get close enough and it's generally not an issue.
Peacekeeper on the other hand is just generally good against everyone since most of the pellets are centered in the middle. Now with that increased projectile width buff its much easier to hit all those pellets.
So... I picked up the Mastiff today just for poops & giggles... I couldn’t believe it... it got me my first 2K dmg badge XD (still not using it). I found out how to be succesfull with it. You actually have to ADS the darn thing (which I never do) or else the damage sucks unless you’re right beside an enemy.
I 2 shotted people from 10-20 feet for 60+ and eventually ended with 2350 dmg and 9 kills... would’ve gotten the last kill of the game. I dropped down so beautifully... was on building and last guy ran towards our building, first half a clip in the lifeline with my R99, then switched and jumped of the building Mastiff in hand, alligned my sights, clicked... no splash... see the ‘no ammo’ indicator and am like ‘really >.>’ and my teammate proceeded to kill the lifeline...
Anticlimactic...
