I know I personally use that bonus to great effect. What other type of bonus do you feel would pair well with shotguns as a weapon class in addition to stagger?

Edited to fix typo.

It's only an anecdote but I was able to save a flanked ally just earlier today on WT4 Challenging mission (Daily for Grand Washington Hotel) with three shots and a whack to a melee rusher. But I'll admit keeping a fair distance is more my modus operandi.

Another thing to consider is the shotgun's place in PvP. How might these bonuses impact shotgun viability across game modes?
