Antaeus Ward Shotgun Build

[river verge]

Hey guys, so i’m running a juggernaut antaeus ward shotgun build, but idk what shotgun to use.

I don’t have a matador, and currently i run a Found verdict with Smallbore, accurized, unrelenting, opening shot, and range masterwork

But i’m wondering if a kinetic shotgun would do as much damage/range or if there’s a huge gap between shotgun damage from kinetic vs energy slot

because in kinetic i could craft a slideshot opening shot imperial decree, or i even have conditional finality

lmk what you think would be the best. Cause i’m hoping for a one shot shotgun if i’m close enough or maybe even a shot then punch

As of right now imperial decree is one of, if not the best kinetic shotgun, you definitely should craft one. The only reason you might use matador over it is if you like the crosshair design

That being said there is no definitive best shotgun because most shotguns have the same 8-9 meters of one-shot range. What sets them apart are the handling and ease of use

perfect thank you so much. I guess i was just thinking that since something was energy vs kinetic it would do more damage if that makes sense?

if that’s not the case though then i will definitely craft an imperial decree

Hear me out, use a rapid fire fusion rifle

i’ve been using one lol it’s good

imo it's decided by which primary you're running

Thats only in pve. In pve, kinetic(primaries?) do more damage than energy (primaries?)

oh perfect okay thank you, i guess that answers my question
