Well I wouldn't call it that bad. Hip firing without laser sights is impossible, but shotguns still have 75% ADS, so with 1x reflex it's entirely possible and convenient to ADS and fire a target while moving to dodge incoming fire. I'd argue pump action shotguns do that better than most automatics in the game due to 75% ADS. It's when you're confronted with someone with 75% ADS as well you're screwed I still recommend using PA Slugs with laser. This is the absolute accuracy weapon. If you're confronted with an enemy, and you can't escape, you won't have enough time to fire off more than 4 rounds anyway. As LA, we really should strive to control the number of targets we're engaging. And remember the effective range is only 20-22m. Within that range poor accuracy shouldn't give you much trouble.
You mean the HA who got me in the end? He killed me not because of the IWIN shield, just because I overextend like hell. So there was no reason for him to be "LOL I WIN", therefore nothing to listen to.
Oh, now I get what you said. To be honest, I don't get why it didn't work. A headshot with a pump action slug does 1200 damage, enough to survive even with partially charged NMG. I've heard a rumor that single high damage sources go through the resist shield, but he was clearly using the NMG.
What if I told you that I countersniped people with Slugs (prior the nerf) ? Of course, they were not moving enough to dodge (given the slow velocity) but I think it could become a little too OP
No drop slugs was a pretty nice feature; i was able to use it to good effect. I dunno about overpowered, but if it were still around I know I'd be exploiting the **** out of advanced targeting implant+slugs on a faraway perch.
