Wean Me From My Shotgun

(1/3) > >>

LuckyDee:
For the last couple of weeks, I've almost exclusively been playing Scout shotgun-builds, because of the immediate access to INT and easy radar-shooting. Eventually, of course, this build is not going to cut the mustard achievement-wise. Assuming the differences in tactics for pistol or chainfire weapons are negligible due to the same line of fire, how do I go about radar-shooting effectively with these weapons, especially in wide open areas? Do you just take for granted that you require about 5 scan-shots for what the shotgun does in 1?

MaiZure:
I personally radar shoot a lot less with other builds. Instead, I incorporate WAIT/RUN combo while standing in a tactically convenient place like around a corner or a doorway. This allows enemies to come to me where I can choose to engage or evade.

AlterAsc:
I can suggest playing some kickass build like MAc.You don't radarshoot, you don't cornershoot, you just see something, you kill it, you go further.
Personally i don't radarshoot at all, unless on Arena or in early caves.

skarczew:
Go with MAc (Ammochain). Early in levels you can take Reloader and use Shotgun while investing in Ammochain traits.
When you get master trait, switch to Plasma Rifle / Gatling / whatever, with Shotty as a backup.

I started out playing like this (run till you see something, shoot it till it stops moving, repeat), but that only resulted in my swift death.

Makes sense yeah, unless you want bleed ammunition. But the question remains: how do you radar effectively? The shotgun gives you a nice spread, but the chain and pistols only fire in a straight line.

Or, from the opposite angle: what are common tactics with chain and pistol for those who don't do radarshooting?
