To all shotgun mains, what do I do

[E.Barronmore]

So as of late I've had a overwhelming urge to shoot monsters in the face with a shotgunThe main problem to this however Is that I have no idea how to do this.I've made myself a light Bowgun sticky set already(For Arch tempered reasons)However I don't know how to make a proper set using The heavy bowgun.

In the end my main questions are as such.
What awake and abilities do we need to put on the gun(I'm pretty sure you already have it but knowing what it is exactly Would be nice).
What skills do I wanna go for.
What Armor do I need to use.

I'd love the people to help me for this Don't be afraid to be descriptive about it,I'm at over 800 hours at this point so I know all the technical means.

Yours truly Mr.E

Recoil surpressor mod - 3 star
Spread capacity mod - 6 star
Attack up mod - 5 star
Attack up mod - 5 star
Attack up mod - 5 star.

That's what I run.
There is an armor build at honey hunters by phemeto. Perhaps u can can check that to see if u fancy that build.

For Armor you could run Safi 3 piece with Raging 2 piece, but make sure you have [Free Element/Ammo up] lv3 as you need to land 7 shots to proc regen.
You could even try Furious Rajang 2 piece with Raging Brachy 2 piece, really the choice is yours

And while I wouldn't start with the special scope right away, you will want to learn to use it eventually :)

When you do, you'll find the controls.to.be...odd, but with the zoom, remember, if the monster is closer, pull your mouse closer, if the monster is farther, push your mouse away (while I know the controls are simple, that helped me to get good at adjusting the scope on the fly, without having to think about it)

Spread power shot 2 is a given, do NOT run health augment on your weapon, spread hardly benifits, that being said, 3 piece Safi, 2 piece brachy, and run a resentment charm for serious damage :D

If that is uncomfortable, run recovery up (I may have the wrong name, it's the medicine decos)

This greatly enhances the healing from the Safi armor, so you can turn the downside into a positive

I'll currently run with only one shield mod, no guard skills, and no medicine, and the Safi healing still keeps up with chip damage :D

You will want free elem/ammo, and impersonally.like to run special ammo boost, it makes wyvern heart an absolute joy ;D

Literally that, ignore all other posts

Copy meta (you only need the 1 for literally every monster in the game), camp at monsters feet and profit. That's the extent of "skill™" involved with the joke of a broken playstyle you're looking for. It's even more braindead than the lame sticky builds. As far as everyone else in the hunt is concerned you're practically an NPC, racking up big numbers for virtually no effort. A turret that occasionally draws aggro while the rest of us hunt the monster.

If you use 3 shields on a HBG, you give up any claims to Chadmanship.

And that is a fact.

[Stronk]

HBG players get a bad rep, because melee players trade in their trash builds for a copy-paste 3 shield spread gun build that beats what they were previously using. Most of the players doing this, if you actually look at their guild cards, I can guarantee you some other weapon is their main.

indeed, real chads predict movement and dodge, to unleash their spray and pray like a real man
