Hey @zulubarwastaken, if posting on AHQ please refrain from posting in such an aggressive and insulting style.

There is no need ever to have a go at any other users.

Just because you do not like using a shotgun in-game does not mean that all agree with you. Everyone has a different playstyle and the great thing about a game like Apex Legends is that you can play the game however you want. Personally, I often carry a shotgun as a secondary weapon, as if you are cornered and facing a squad there's no better way of surviving.

Get better at countering it scrub.

there's no real way to counter shotguns. you're either in combat with him, or he's running away since he knows he's out of range. cover doesn't do a whole lot since 1 shell > 1-3 auto bullet, and it just takes 1 shot to the head to completely destroy the target which isn't that hard since you don't have to deal with recoil and knowing that a single bullet doesn't hit for only 20 versus 114.

At least when I come at you with my shotgun I -could- miss and you -could- kill me. But since I’m actually skilled with the shotgun unlike my teammates I’ll probably down you in two shots with armor. Salty * scrub. Lol. Kids these days. 

yea you could come at me with a shotgun, it would be insanely unwise to not at least have some cover to come in and out of to shoot a single shell which you don't have to aim pretty much, devastating my hp versus my 2-3 pellets i fire at you. also the skill cap for shotguns in basically every fp is incredibly low. btw where do you fit in on the list? i take you're #2 given the emotion you put into your comment and the levels of hate directed at me

if you can't understand how ridiculous shotguns are in general, let alone in this game, you probably need to reevaluate your game knowledge and skill

If you go against a skilled player who uses a shotgun you might as well hope that the game favors you or you're dead. I have plenty of ways to counter a shotgun. So I don't know about you, but if I come with a shotgun and I see another PK'er, you damn well can be sure I shoot first and don't miss. 

I don't run when it's 1 v 1 and I have my trusted side piece equiped. I don't know against what lvl of players you play, but like you said, ppl can rampage with the shotguns... well guess what, ppl can do that with any good gun. I've seen teammates and others rambo'ing with peacekeepers, spitfires, wingmen, prowlers, hell I've even seen people go nuts with a devotion. Don't blame the shotgun just cause a guy got too close. 

Just like @ArmoredCav I hate camping noobs with snipers who take me out in other games. This game is fast paced, so yea, power to the shotgun!

have you seen someone with bad aim trying to shotgun in close proximity? It's hilarious. I down 2 guys only to get shot in my back... I turn around and manage to hit the guy quite a few times before I die. My teammate has a peacekeeper. I'm thinking one shot and guys down. They jump like messed up bunnies, one with peacekeeper, other with I believe an smg... guy can't land 1 single hit and yup, my team's down. Just pray that you meet someone as unskilled as him next time you see the Peacekeeper
