Which shotgun do you prefer?

[Influ]

Scimitar is my choice. It has a good clip size and great fire rate. Throw in a melee attack between the shots and you'll rip through anything, fast. It works quite well in crowds too, because with it's high rate of fire it's possible to keep multiple enemies staggered. It's efficient, effective and above all loads of fun.

I've yet to try the Claymore though.

[termokanden]

I love both the Scimitar and the Claymore. The Scimitar is much more forgiving to use and you won't need to worry about the reload trick, but the Claymore is ridiculously powerful when everything goes well.

Normally I love using the GPS but I hate it as a vanguard.

Claymore in a landslide.

Eviscerator is a distant second.

Scimitar is easily my least favourite shotgun.

I don't like GPS as a Vanguard, great for Adept though.

[termokanden]

I guess it also depends on the difficulty level. If you'replaying on normal, the Scimitar will annihilate everything. On insanity its damage is just low compared to defenses. The Claymore on the other hand does an unnecessarily high amount of damage on normal but is more interesting on higher difficulties.

Vanguard - Eviscerator or Claymore.
Adept - GPS by a long long way.

5 best shotguns of all time?

Claymore, Claymore, Claymore, Claymore and Claymore.

It's rather unforgiving, as far as missed shots go/and the reload trick, but you should be able to get it with some practice. When you do, that's when the real fun starts.

[Stormy-B]

Claymore is just brutal, and who can't love to land a solid hit with it?

I like the Eviscerator too, but it's just not the same.
I'm gonna take the Scimitar out to dance the next time I'm gonna play my AR trained Vanguard though, I haven't used it enough.

[JimL68]

I like the Eviscerator. I'm tempted to stick with that and take AR training but I have a few missions to do before I have to decide.
I just played the Samara recruitment mission with the Scimitar. The higher rate of fire is a pretty good trade-off for the lower damage. I had to find a different rhythm from by usual charge/blast in face/melee. Instead it was charge/blam/blam/blam/blam/melee if needed.

I don't really agree with that. The Scimitar does outpace atleast anything short of the Claymore in DPS even against armor. I actually bumped up my difficulty from hardcore to insanity, because the game got significantly easier changing from Eviscerator to Scimitar. It does just fine regardless of the difficulty level.

I think the shotguns are nearly perfectly balanced in ME2. It really mostly depends on playstyle what you should be using. Katana though I don't fancy so much. It's basically the same as Evi, only with a larger clip, but lacking in power and range.

the GPS.

i NEVER use shotguns in any shooter, i always liked spraying and praying. but honestly, the GPS is frickin fun to use.

[CommanderAdriel]

Claymore,Claymore,Claymore,Claymore.

[Manic Sheep]

Eviscerator or Claymore depending on how tired I am and whether I can be assed with the reloading trick.

[mokponobi]

Claymore by a mile

[JoeClose]

Why would people even use AR training with a vanguard? The whole point of the class is to just blast people in the face with your shotgun. AR training defeats the entire purpose of a vanguard.

On topic: Claymore followed by the Scimitar and then the Eviscerator.

Seeking more varied gameplay and continuity with a vanguard that had AR training in ME1. Those are my reasons for choosing AR with one of my Vanguards, others may have other reasons.
Besides, the "purpose" of the class is to be a vicious biotic CQC Specialist. If that is achieved with an AR or a SG is not interesting, the efficiency of the trooper is.

But I'm going off topic here. It's pretty funny that noone has even mentioned the Katana yet, I've basically forgotten about it, but is it really that bad?

It's not really that bad. It's just made redundant by the Eviscerator. Evi has about the same if not exactly the same fire rate, does more damage, has better range and gains damage bonus against armor. Even though the Katana has two more shots per clip there really is no reason to use it over the Eviscerator.

[ashwind]

I think the only shotgun I do not like is the GPS.

Like all the shotguns -slight edge goes to Claymore for OSOK.

Katana is not bad at all, if anything, it performs as well as any other shotgun. My last vanguard insanity run was exclusively Katana and it is as good as any other shotguns even though on paper other shotguns "may" loook.

The reason I would take AR training is for unreachable enemies like the final boss although I have killed him with a mix of powers and the Kassa Locust.

[SNascimento]

Claymore hands down. It kills most of the enemys with one shot and even and mid range does considerable damage, enough to take down enemys defenses setting stage for a wap bomb.

Upgrade pistols agains amored opponents does tons of damage. You should try that, especially that laser guided one.

You can do that just as well with a Mattock.  I tried a Mattock Vanguard after seeing this video ( ). The Mattock and the Evi gives me two charge weapons. And like someone else said, gives varied gameplay.

Actually, the claymore or Evi work against those enemies pretty well.  Also the threasher maw can be taken down with either of those shotguns also.

I prefer Scimitar for ammo effects ( cryoguard ), Claymore for 1s1k.  Evi for early in the game.  GPS I won't use on a vanguard.

[Saaziel]

I don't know why everyone's hating on the GPS.

I've been playing my Vanguard solely with it and it never let me down. To each his own i suppose, but admittedly its quite different from the other shotguns in the game. The Arc & Velocity reminds me of the Half life 2 Crossbow, fully charge it can remove enemy protection over a significant distance. Which, if timed correctly ,can be shot prior to the Biotic charge for maximum effect. Close range isn't an issue if you don't mind finishing off targets with melee once in a blue moon. Preferably , if you get used to the orb trajectory, you should charge the flanks and have each orb hit different targets, pushing the damage through the roof.

Its different but i prefer it to the claymore. Although i only tried the claymore on my Soldier, perhaps i should have a go at it with the vanguard.
