pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Legato-11 seems to be Bungie’s answer to an updated FILO. Auto-Loading Holster and Cascade Point for almost Fourth Horseman like DPS or Focused Fury and Triple Tap for improved total damage. Incandescent and Heal Clip also synergize for Solar or any build really. It's kind of like a jack of all trades but keeps itself unique enough to not be a master of none." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Legato-11 really gets to spread its wings in the crucible. Closing Time and Lone Wolf are incredibly strong together. If you prefer Killing Wind you can pair that with Closing Time for a nice speed boost after one kill. Incandescent and Heal Clip are both solid options as slugs get one round and you can pick up another pretty quick for the reload. Offhand Strike is niche but very powerful in the right hands (or left)." Recommended MW: Range or Handling.

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.1.5

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.1.5 (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller): PvE pick for backup sustained Boss special weapon damage in general, and end-game underleveled content. There was a time when slug shotties like Legato-11 were the meta for CQC Boss damage. They're still decent, mind, and it wouldn't take much of a buff for their glory days to return. At base the stats are very good - 65 Range equates to 9.22m while ADS and 7.69m hipfire, 68 Handling is 0.32s ready speed, 0.29s ADS speed and 0.34s stow speed, while the Reload Speed of 48 is a 0.72s reload per shell. With 0/1/2/3 reserve mods, you'll have total ammo of 19/20/22/23 shots (maximum is 23) and magazine size of 6 (maximum is 8). Slug SGs have the same vertical recoil boost as Precisions, so you can largely ignore recoil direction, and use the barrel perk to boost Handling. You have options for the magazine perk - Assault Mag increases your fire rate, and thus DPS. You can hit the maximum mag size of 8 with either Tactical Mag (which also boosts Stability and Reload Speed) or Appended Mag and a Backup Mag mod. Or you can boost Range and Reload Speed with Light Mag. For sustained boss damage, you can go one of two ways - Triple Tap will let you shoot 12 times before reloading with the max mag size of 8, or Auto-Loading Holster lets you swap to a kinetic slot slug SG continue DPS while it reloads in the background. For a damage perk, Vorpal Weapon or Frenzy (which also maxes out Handling and Reload Speed when procced) boost damage by ×1.15, or Focused Fury can provide ×1.2 damage after you've hit crits with your first four shots. The Suros Synergy origin trait only procs after a manual reload, but it's always nice to have extra handling.
