I began playing again when I heard a new version was out. I think I never beat the game with shotgun as main weapon, so I gave it a try going the shottyman path. It was going quite well, but in the end I underestimated the damage a particular group of enemies would do the next move. I found a Gothic Armor (had to clear out a small room full of Aracs to get it). Unfortunately, I never tried it on, since I wanted to save it up for Cybie, so I don't know if there are any special attributes.
The game has improved greatly IMO, thanks Kornel ;)
