Shotguns in pve.
Shotguns in pve has been neglected for so long and all that it is good for now is just for one two punch builds.
It did look like you tried to make them more viable when you added Chain reaction to them, but it wasn't enough. Even worse is that you nerfed Chain reaction just because you wanted to add it to more weapons.
Similar is the destabilizing rounds that causes void explosions. This one is much better than chain.
A simple damage buff is all that Shotguns need.

3 RepliesSlug, Rapid Fire, and Aggressive Shotguns are actually pretty solid in PvE across the board. Their DPS are higher than most specials (as they should because of the inherent danger) It’s more that Rocket Sidearms are just that strong… They blow shotguns out of the water with comparable damage but with significantly more safety. My thought - Rocket Sidearms need to pick up less ammo per brick. - Shotguns need an additional damage drop off buff like they got in Revenant. - Fusions and Snipers need reserve ammo buffs. - Lightweight GLs need blast radius buffs - Traces need either 200 more reserve ammo or 20% more damage.
