Oranges are awful and PvP favours 1 playing style

I have so far found 3 oranges a Fully Auto Shotgun with health drain it is good to stay alive but it has awful damage, second is a 2 burst corrosive Shotgun , again is weak also WTF does corrosive do? Its rubbish. The third is a 5 burst pistol with that slow down thing on it, this is a pistol and no pistol is good that I have seen. Oranges have no advantage over common weapons. Why should I waste time getting keycodes to be disappeared when I get an Orange BMG which doesn't link?

My hatred with PvP is it favours 1 playing style which involves CQB. Shotgun + Cloak + Explosive weapon = Win. What about the snipers or LMG's, they have no place on such small maps and Shadow Wars are the same. Vehicles + Cloak = Win. What's the point of me getting a good ranged class sorted out to find out that bolt action snipers take 3 bullets to kill someone. If I wanted to play shotguns only I would go back to Gears of War 2.

just voicing my opinion and want to hear what you all think. Troll away;)

If it takes you3 headshots to kill someone your doing something wrong... Use perks centered around cloak to increase DMG with weapons especially sniper rifles IMO. I see people in PvP all the time using ARs, LMG's, shotguns, detonators, snipers... Learn to adapt or just give up...

I see people all the time in PvP with ranged weapons too, they just aren't on the winning team. OP was correct. Anyways, you can tell that most of the time at least in Shadow wars it's a lot of clan groups, so if you have 17-20 people all with the same mods and the same playing style, then it's almost never competitive. And to the people who do nothing but drive around in the Cerberus', that ****e is hella lame.

I do have to say every PvP game I've been into has 8000 people with shotguns, it is bad although think that small adjustment do their damage table may have shifted the balance a little bit.

All my orange weapons are pretty cool, they all have their weakness but they're ownage, especially PvM.

Some oranges are poop, others are good. You just happen to have found the rubbish ones. Oranges generally have a synergy and 2+ special weapon effects (melee dmg and reload for example), whereas lesser rarity will usually have less.

The current PvP maps favor cqb, and combine a shotgun with cloak and you negate the shotguns only real weakness (getting into range). Hopefully when freight yard is back there will be more room for medium range guns, but we shall see.

Snipers are 3 hits because they would be crazy OP at any less. If you get a headshot it is 99% of the time a kill.

I enjoy the PvP, but it does lack variety when everyone flocks to the same guns and perks.

Thing is in PVP, no one stands still long enough for a headshot. I agree with what you said about the snipes though, to a certain extent. If the npc has shields it's more than one shot to put them down, and if it's Dark Matter, they are never one shot. Neither are Elite Mutants.

snipers are no good in this game, anything with a scope is no good. Auto aim makes the sniper pointless, i would use more snipers if you didn,t have to scope in, extended zoom would be better.

There is a telescoping sight which does extend the zoom.

TEAMWORK.

If you are losing at Shadow Wars try playing as a Team.

A Shotgun and cloak might get you a sneaky kill but Teamwork will trump you every time.
