The best shotgun

[PeepoHappy ❤]

What is the best shotgun in the game?

It's to not use them

in raw power? Crown and King. The insane rate of fire and the fact that it needs ZERO perks to perform makes it the top dog.
In money to performance? The romero no doubt. Highest single shot damage of all shotguns in the game and lots of spare ammo. Perfect ambush weapon. Requires no custom ammo or perks to perform its best.
Balanced: the rival or the new slate. Both require zero traits and the rival becomes a beast with slugs.
The specter and the winfield are both flavour shotguns and are clunky to use and all in all just not as good. But the specter is relative cheap and the winfield is fun with levering so...

Personal opinions obviously, but I think the best all-rounder in terms of price to performance is the Specter. Reasonable introductory price with great one tap reliability, good ammo pool for follow up shots, and slugs of course turn it into a beast.

yes and its relative cheap.
Only thing wrong with the spectre is the insanely slow reload, losing ammo when partial reloading and the subpar rate of fire (rival, crown and king and slate will all get 2 shot off before you can retaliate with a 2nd shot).
Before the slate I was more inclined to use the spectre but now its just a bad version of the slate for a lower price. Like the normal nagant pistol vs normal conversion.

All good points. I just think of the Specter as an improved romero. From my experience using shotguns, it seems like the most reliable as far as making every shot count. I know that if I don't get greedy and stay within its comfortable one tap range, I can almost guarantee a OHK at longer distances than say a rival, slate, or C&K, and the slow pump is still faster than reloading a romero. I usually will pair it with a second weapon that benefits from bulletgrubber to get the most out of it.

I agree, the Spectre feels that it operates similar to the Romero, especially in damage application at different ranges.

rival for slug, slate for buckshot

I am.

It's pretty hard to die with the Crown and King equipped. But if you want a bang for your buck I'd go with the Spectre. If you are trying to be frugal since you have no money, use the Romero. Great damage, just don't miss.

Slate Slug is the most OP at the moment and by far

[Worf]

wanna burn enemies to death? or make them bleed to death? model 1887 is best for dragons breath or flechette. slugs? probobly the slate, or the spectre if you prefer the iron sight and more ammo. wanna be cost effective? either romero. or rival if you want more reliability. raw buckshot spam? crown.
