Still, shotguns aren't as deadly as they were in D1 - and for that we can probably be thankful Destiny 2's meta is much more varied as a result, although swords have arguably fallen into the gap left by shotguns. Shotguns are a favourite choice of agile, up-close types in Destiny 2, and under best conditions their damage output is high enough that they're one shot kills. Destiny 2's shotguns are no longer a default Crucible choice, but the best ones still pack a powerful punch.
