pretty bad shotgun, pvp nothing really good, snapshot and steady hands or maybe snapshot swash? no reason to use this over astral horizon, imperial decree, or even matador. For pve, somewhat usable with one two punch or incandescent (though i dont get why people like incandescent on shotguns so much). but there are plenty of other one two punch shottys that are flat out better than this one. the only reason i could see anyone using this thing is for incandescent. (doesnt rate correctely on the star scale for some reason should be lower than what its making me put)

A shell of it's former self, but plenty left for it to give. For PvE, Anything with Incandescent or One-Two Punch works. For PvP, you've got options, but they aren't as good as they used to be. Threat Detector, Snapshot, Slideways and Surplus are all good in the third column, and in the fourth column, your best bet is actually Fragile Focus. This perk just got buffed, and grants 20 bonus range just for having a shield active. The buff lasts until your shield breaks, and reactivates when your shield fully recharges. This is almost as good as Opening Shot's 25 range, but it lasts for every shot.

Still don't know why this can't roll Opening Shot/Rampage though, especially since that perk combo's on Last Man Standing, ANOTHER Solar Aggressive Shotgun. Bungie, that was Mindbender's curated roll. It even has special animations for when Rampage procs. Why...

Surprisingly decent in PvP for having no real good perk options due to just feeling really good. Beast in PvE for its DPS applications.

I see sad comments on here dogging on this gun, but it’s still not bad….clearly it’s because you guys are either new players, or have a bad roll. I was able to get one before it was sent out for grabs by Zavala AGAIN with threat detector and quickdraw, and it slaps….so if you guys have something along those lines say no more, its a W.
