pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Handling. Rapid-Fire Frame(140) Strand Shotgun Special Ammo. "In PvP you’re much better off using a different weapon as rapid-fire frames need two shots to reliably kill from a distance. If you are okay with that, then investing fully into handling and harmony for better damage after a kill would give you the best chance at competing with precision and aggressive frame shotguns."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 61 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XT0gPkoVSh3cM6gMtSupq?si=18db495353ca49ad) with @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects. First-choice PvE pick for burst damage against Majors in end-game content. Shapeable. Until Its Return has decent stats in comparison to other kinetic slot rapid-fire shotguns and some reliable trait combinations. Handling is the best thing to aim for with the barrel perk, but range and stability can be useful too. Tactical Mag gets you to the maximum of 8 rounds, so there's no point looking at Appended or Extended Mag. In the first trait column as the support perk, Overflow is great for doubling the mag size for running over an ammo brick, or Auto-Loading Holster means you can rely on a full magazine every time you pull it out. Surrounded in the second column as the signature perk boosts damage by 40% (+47% for the enhanced version). Alternatively, Trench Barrel boosts damage by 50% for three shots after a melee hit. Recommended MW: Handling or Range, with a damage-boosting (Major, Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller

Backup PvE pick for burst damage against Majors in end-game content. Shapeable. Until Its Return has decent stats in comparison to other kinetic slot rapid-fire shotguns and some reliable trait combinations. You can essentially ignore stability, handling and reload speed with the right traits, so you're left with range choices for the barrel, but Tactical Mag gets you to the maximum of 8 rounds, so there's no point looking at Appended or Extended Mag. In the first trait column as the support perk, Threat Detector at two stacks maxes handling and reload speed, and increases stability to around 80 and Surrounded in the second column as the signature perk boosts damage by 40% (+47% for the enhanced version). Alternatively, Trench Barrel boosts damage by 50% for three shots after a melee hit.
