Not a shotty but I wanted to mention since it's currently mildly time sensitive. But if you head over to daughter on deimos she has a Halloween event going on. Get a mod called Sentient surge from her. It's for a secondary called the ocucor from one of the labs in the dojo. Normally a worthless weapon. However with that mod it will be a side arm that will single handedly take you through the entire game and will grow with you as you get better mods for it. Have that boy on your hip and you can experiment with any primary without worry.
It's one of the best weapons for Yareli because the augment refills the magazine on a kill without resetting the tendril count, and coupled with Yareli's secondary crit passive she can keep the Ocucor going for quite a while in endless missions.
As a rule, Toxin is the safest option for most progenitor weapons, since you can mod that for corrosive/viral with little trouble or leave it as is to deal with the Corpus. The caveat is that Toxin Liches/Sisters/possibly Coda members are an absolute pain to fight without some source of overguard/not using Revenant when Toxin bypasses shields or you get hit by their knockoff Hallowed Ground and get irradiated. Magnetic's a close second because of the added damage for Condition Overload, and the increased damage to enemy shields and overguard + bonus electric proc when either breaks.
Early game? Boar can be made with scrap. Hek is also a good option with the only newbie caveat being 5 Neurodes. Phantasma is pretty underrated and worth getting if you can get yourself to the Void for Argon Crystals. Strun is also fine if you don't mind spending the 25k credits. I would use a build like this which should be more than enough for most content. Most important thing starting out is you build for faction weakness. That said, if you find yourself liking a shotty and don't mind putting a Reactor into it, than I would use a build like this as a template since it needs zero forma/polarities.
Pretty much the only gun that I have Toxin on is the Chakkhurr and only because I literally don't have enough mod slots.
Tons of excellent shotguns. Cedo, Arca Plasmor, Bubonico, Phantasma, Astilla, Corinth, Kohm, and Phage are all top-tier, and of course any Prime/Kuva/Tenet versions are going to be even better.
This. With that mod, Ocucor is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. You don't even have to aim. Just run with the fire button held, and everything dies.
Was it
Pretty much what everyone else said, but I'm partial to the corinth, strun, and exergis. (and the steflos, but I wouldn't wish that grind on anyone here)
Damn wish I didn't spend all my arbitration tokens on kuva
The convectrix is technically a shotgun (at least the game says it is). If you can get your hands on Efficient Beams either from Nightwave cred rewards or by purchasing it with plat you can tape your fire button down and run around inflicting hundreds of procs on everything it touches.
Don't forget, this usually causes your squad to fail the bonus objective and miss out on the extra reward. You can get aya from missions in the Void though, so running Hepit over and over is always an option if you need one.
Lots of gooners in the game unfortunately. There was this a few months ago when the new ember skin came out
Lmao, you're one of us now! This is by far the biggest complaint of public lobbies, that no one knows what they're doing, then will flame you for their mistake.
The hardest part about liking Yareli and thinking she is cute is the crowd you are then associated with.
I've never found any form of Dera to be anything but MR fodder, so I'm not surprised.
Yeah, I think most of my rage in squad chat before I got burned out was because of retards being useless during the purifier stage. At least once a day when I'd do Cambion Drift bounties, I'd scream into the void at how fucking stupid this game's playerbase is.
Railjack is a lot of fun solo. It sucks shit in a party, especially when some dipshit drops and a host migration causes you to hard lock and lose all rewards after an hour in the mission.
