It's different here compared to OG. In OG you can easily group enemies together that makes shotgun an enticing option whereas here it is difficult to group two enemies together let alone 4 or 5. This is the major difference along with movement between the two games. Unless i funnel them into a narrow space i don't find myself using shotgun much.
In OG shotgun serves a crucial function outside of confined spaces. I have the default pistol, riot gun and Bolt action rifle fully upgraded and i seldom find myself using shotgun. Enemies just overwhelm me if i try to use shotgun like OG. It's just safer to use pistol and rifle.
The Rifle when fully upgraded destroys enemies and makes shotgun almost useless in most instances. Normal enemies go down in one hit. Plagas in 1, Armoured knights in 2, The golden knight in 3, Brutes, chainsaw enemies in 2 or 3 shots max, even the bullet sponge side quest dog goes down in 4 shot. It destroys bosses too. IMO its the best weapon and essential for PRO considering how many bullet sponge enemies game throws at you.

I recently upgraded my PC so I'm looking for this. However it's hard to find interesting games with high production values nowadays without open world rpg nonsense. This is one of the reasons i love this game.
>Mercs is wild
I really would have loved more if they had included more maps from the campaign. A village section bit with traps would be really fun. The ranking system while better than campaign also rewards finding a confined space and letting enemies come to you to keep the combo going. It would be nice if the ranking pushed movement more.
>Fully upgrade the blacktail for a higher consistency on hit stun
I have all the pistols fully upgraded and i find default pistol the best. Matilda outshines it but it requires lots of ammo so default is the best. On PRO every pistol requires 2 or 3 shots to stun. The default pistol because of laser sight and rate of fire outclasses every pistol. I can end the starting village fight in seconds with it equipped. It's just satisfying the to see heads explode when its critical chance kicks in. It also feels good to hear Ashley's remark when you head shot a faraway enemy with it.
>Shotgun in OG
Yeah, OG Shotty has insane bullet spread, you can down like 5 enemies with 1 shot lol
>Fully upgraded rifle
Which rifle are you using here? I'll need it in my current Ng+ pro run.
>On pro every pistol requires 2 to 3 headshots to stun
New save pro or Ng+ pro? And by stun you mean stagger for melee promp? Or for their heads to snap back when headshotting/for them to hold their leg and get stunned when leg shotting them (no melee prompt) ?
