Hi,

I'm playing my second round of Mass Effect 1 as a Sentinel. As such, there is no training in shotgun. I can't right click to zoom, but i'm able to shoot it by simply left clicking.

So my question is, if I have the right add-on and the right ammo, is it somehow useful for a sentinel to use it against, let say, tusks at close range, or is it better to stick to handgun ?

Thanks for your reply

Probably not unless you take it as a bonus power



You can load it with explosive rounds and use it to CC but as you're a sentinel your powers can do that anyway

pistol is the bet weapon in the game once you put points into it. Without training all the weapons suck hard in ME1. You will miss at point blank range.

For Sentinel in ME, yes the Shotty is nice, but you don't really need to pick it as a bonus talent, IMHO.

I didn't pick it as a talent, I chose Assault Rifle, since it's the most versatile against ennemies. So in that configuration, I understand I have all the powers I need, but if for fun, I wanna have a go with the shotgun, it's completely useless, right ?

Unless you load it with 2 lvl X Combat Scanners and a lvl X High Explosive Round upgrade, it will be useless.  With those two upgrades, you can use it as a point blank rocket launcher with "decent" accuracy.  Or if you want to get really gimmicky, put two VII Rail Extensions instead of the scanners.  You'll be lucky to hit anything, but you'd blow up anything you hit.  

If you try to use it like someone with Shotgun training, you'd fail miserably.  If you use it for fun and just for point blank fights, it can "function".

Thanks. That's the only detail I don't like about ME... Why bother carrying a shotgun if you don't know how to use it ? It made me choose the Soldier as my first playthrough, because I felt it was ridiculous to carry extra weapons for nothing...

What IS a good bonus power for sentinels in ME1?
