Finally! AoSh has been eluding me for quite a while, mostly because I couldn't wrap my head around the shotgun mechanics in JH for quite a while. MAD has always been my favourite shotgun Master, and whenever I tried to go for it, I never seemed to make it there.
The trick was to really use
EMP grenades in the early game on anything larger than a drone, and to retreat like crazy if need be, especially one only has the standard shotgun and not an auto-shotgun.
I was just confused that there was no Shottyman trait anymore -- I was scared about what would happen in late game when I couldn't reload while moving.
But
AV3 shotgun AMP with
Shotgun autoloader replaced the missing Shottyman.
The
ENV helmet was obtained in the Noxious Hollow and served as a great of surviving random toxic damage.
I don't know what to do with the
frozen heart.
I also don't know why I added a
cold mod to my
AV2 12ga dual shotgun when it has
Molten 10 on it.
The
CRI plasma shotgun was just for fun -- I added a
vampire mod on it to act as a last minute healing device in case I don't have any medkits. It eats energy cells (4 per shot), and I realised that energy cells now stack up to 100 (it used to be 50, right?). It tshows how long since I switched to energy weapons.
This suddenly makes me want to try running a pistol run switching over to the
CRI plasma pistol later on.
And with that, I've unlocked more challenge modes to play.

AoSh never felt this fun! Thanks for the updates. (=
I just want to add that I found a
Jackhammer (not as useful as my
AV2 12ga auto-shotgun PA), but it didn't show up in the mortem as part of the exotics found. Maybe a section for this in a future update?
