Try it with the ranger's mobile beacon.

Working on that mastery so I can do just that. =)

I just prestiged but I will have to try that out!

Personally my favourite weapon, with the bug shot it feels like how it was before the carnage update, favourite ways to play with it are the Ranger and guardian sometimes with the healer with the perk where bugs ignore you for others as long as others are alive then you can go revives while obliterating bugs on the way, the hammer rounds are also not bad if you can hit the weak spots best feeling is 1 vs 2 tigers

Both the new ammo types are great for the auto shotty. They definitely give guardians more staying power as well if you have it mastered

I fully expect that to get nerfed. A ranger shouldn't be able to solo three tigers in quick succession. With quick reload, that combo is quite overpowered.

But why!? Why can't we have at least one type of weapon that would help us survive? Everything else is practically not working. An ordinary warrior will turn you into a snack. And it especially annoys me that the flamethrower does not help to fight off even one bug practically. Fire does not cause panic for bugs.

It's the best weapon and it's the best weapon for Hive Mode.

i advise any guardian highly against using theese rounds on the autoshotgun, if they rnt sitting 100% of their time on a wall, if u encounter a tiger on flat ground, it takes without the mod about 20-22 weakspot hits to kill it, and it litrelly cannot hit u once becuase u keep staggering it, with the bug-shot rounds u significantly loose the ability to propperly stagger it, and it will hit u while ur actively gunning for it on hard difficulty, against tigers the default rounds on the autoshotgun r FAR superior

Without weakspots, it takes multiple mags to down a Tiger. On hard you do 40% damage, if you are not hitting weakspots and 50% on normal. The auto shotty has always been a weapon that rewards weak spots. Even with the bug shot, it's very doable, since you can shoot the tiger and once it gets close, shield up to knock it back a bit, then finish it off

Yeah the shield stun is really useful, as long as you keep moving backwards while shooting then stun a tiger if it gets too close you can kill it really easy i say the bug shot is perfect for warriors but not groups of tigers 2 or 3 is limit before you get overwhelmed though I would use the hammer rounds for the tiger ambushes for the extra stagger it helps keep them still to easily hit the weak constantly or buy time till I get to high ground

Bug Shot with extended mag is so good that I preferred it over the rocket launcher I got from the weapons crate. If you get in the face of a Tiger or Grenadier, you can kill either of them with one mag, without them even getting a hit in. Even Quicker if you yell, Blam, Blam, Blam, when you shoot.

The bug round autoshotty against multiple tigers is only viable imo with a ranger. The mobility plus damage boost from mobile beacon makes it quite op. I wouldn't try this on any other class as they don't have the horizontal mobility to get in and out alive or the ability to take a direct tiger hit.

Demo guy kills a Tiger with 4-5 shots.

Yeah very true rangers have the best ability for the autoshotty with being able to keep distance, it's in my top 2 class favourites with the guardian I enjoy the health benefits

With the scan abilities also makes it really good as well
