Why does it feel like Duality (The Exotic Shotgun) is living in Chaperone’s shadow

Like, I understand that Chaperone is Notorious, but Duality is more consistent, requiring you to not have to be so precise in close range, and being able to handle threats that require precision more consistently, albeit at a slightly shorter range. I’ve played around with both in PVE and PVP, and Duality has been far more consistent in both, while Chaperone barely keeps up in PVP, and can’t even excel in most PVE situations, due to there being more consistent options with better perks. I genuinely want to understand, and I’m not trying to sound like I’m attacking anyone who likes the Chaperone. It’s a fun weapon to use from time to time, but it feels a bit too undercooked and overhyped. While duality feels pretty good, yet I hardly see anyone talk about it. I’d appreciate any insight that anyone can provide.

  • Chaperone is 100% better in PvP. Slightly better range, significantly faster handling, built in Lightweight, and a perk that makes it more than ridiculous. Duality has consistency at point blank range and a fast reload. It’s definitely better than a legendary but Chappy is definitely ahead. In PvE however both are kinda funny. Chaperone can absolutely delete something with its perk active. And not that it can activate in 2 crits w/o a kill it’s really neat. Problem is its reload isn’t great and you need crits. Duality’s perk got a massive QoL a little while back. The gun hits like a truck when fully active. So both are good. Chappy is a bit ahead in PvP while duality is a bit ahead in PvE
