any shotgun or a specific manufacturer

[Nite69]

amara is best because she has a skill right at the start for more damage the closer the attack is

any, I'm still discovering what this game has, but shotguns are usually my favorite weapons in Borderlands, used Brick in 1, and Gaige in 2 and played nothing but shotguns

[Kick the Bukkit]

any...

just stack shotgun damage on your items :)

it's not so much the catogory of weapons but more the actual weapon and manufacturer ;)

just remember that jakobs weapon ricochet bullets on crit (that one isn't allways obvious as the rest of the manufacturers are pretty obvious as what is special)

for fl4k torgue/jakobs shotguns are amazing.

[Matty Rest in peace Layla]

Moze with Bottomless Mags build for sure

[Pillow]

FL4K with Fade away, stalker build and a jakobs for the fire rate and automatic crits. Make your jabber a beefcake.

I don't know about endgame but at least early Amara can do well with close up damage increased right away.

Flak for jakobs shotties: Fade Away, Guerrillas in the Mist, Unblinking Eye. Skill (+class mod) that gives you a chance to not consume ammo on crit, relic with +mag size. Shotties - double barrels such as Hellwalker or x21 pellets purple scattergun.
Amara with +300% damage anointed hyperion shotty (available at vending machine next to Crazy Earl at Sanctuary)
Butcher imo still one of the best shotguns, esp. with Moze's bottomless mags.
Torgue shotties - Kielbasa(s) or Flakker work well too, i like em on my Zane class with 100% mag size and various buffs from his blue (kill skill based) tree.
