If I had to make a couple recommendations for each Impact sub-class, they would be as follows:
Several things to note:
- Shotguns are broken down into Impact sub-classes.
- I will add recommended Perks to the guns which can be purchased from Vendors. These do NOT account for any drops you get with random rolls, and only take into account the Perks the weapons are sold with. For Gunsmith weapons, there are a ton of great guides out there that discuss the Arms-Day rolls, and I will not be going into detail with them here.
- Because all Shotgun Times-to-Kill are instant with point blank shots in PvP, the listed Times-to-Kill are with two shots, and assuming Guardian has max armor (not including the effects of The Ram).
- Field Choke, Linear Compensator, Accurized Ballistics all increase the damage per pellet by 1. Aggressive Ballistics increases it by 2. Soft Ballistics decreases it by 1.
- All Pros and Cons are determined by comparing weapons within the same class, not by all weapons in general.
- I'll give a final recommendation for each Impact sub-class.
