Haven't tried it, but it sits in the primary slot, from what I've read and I don't think shotgun/ice breaker/rocket launcher works so well. I understand the range on this particular shotgun is VERY short.

But if anyone has it and recommends it let me know. For now the only shotgun I have is Secret Handshake which I've hardly used.
I suspect shotgun and fusion rifle would be an interesting mix. Would certainly force a different play style

That's true. And it's kinda nice to get in close and personal rather than snipe from a distance. Might not be so effective or safe... But lots of fun. Might get Universal Remote and combi with Murmur after all.

Universal Remote.... Bit meh Xur. You disappoint me. Not that fussed about heavy weapons (have a 331 damage rocket) but would have liked a decent exotic primary to upgrade frown
I think all of the exotic primaries are overated. They are situational at best and for having a but of fun with IMO, nothing else. You're not missing much.

If you have either Ice Breaker, Gjallarhorn, Thunderlord and possibly Truth, IMO they are the only weapons worth equipping in your exotic slot. There are legendaries that are just as good or better than the other exotics.

The only primary worth considering at the moment is the Vex, but Xur is never going to sell that.

I wouldn't try it for a nightfall or a raid, but for a mission or a patrol I reckon it could be amusing.

Universal remote purchased. Also chances my arm on an exotic helmet engram and got lucky. Helm of Saint-14.

Will take me some time to upgrade it, but yes - this is also my thinking.

And, majors/elites blundering into the bubble, going blind and then meeting my (now overpowered) shotgun might be amusing.

Guys did you notice the companion/vault management update.

You can move items between characters and vaults using the companion app. I just did it without even playing the game. So you can do it anywhere, ie when in orbit or in game or even in Raid....Ie, if you wish you grabbed a gun whilst in a raid then do it via the app. Or when you switch characters in orbit move your guns around with the app save going to the tower. Good job bungie.

Shotguns in PvE (as long as you get close enough) are...punchy...

There's a slim chance I might get a couple of hours tonight on the xbox, anyone fancy helping me do some night falls? Or a Crota run?

I'm currently on (as in, it's powered up) but I'm not actually playing.

If I get a chance and I see you on, I'll ping you.

I need to do a Crota run.

Dumb question. The first chest on crota - the one that spawns in the left hand doorway of you give it enough attempts.

The one you can solo when you've not managed to sort a run out this week.

Is it still there? (Must have had 15 respawns with no luck)

The one barely a minute in? My son showed it to me this morning. He respawned about five times before it was there.

A little pissed to say the least. I was out Friday night with some friends who visited from Cornwall and wales. So had a hotel booked for the night.

Got home Sat morning to be told we have no Net, AGAIN. it was down Thurs for 24 hours. Local issue.

Now seems out net (just ours is down) either wires to house or Superhub is down. Won't get sorted until Tomorrow

Not impressed
