So look at the real meta. Shotguns everywhere, and with good reason. What counters shotguns? Other shotguns make it a 50/50 split, but I'd argue that fusion rifles are a good counter to shotguns. They *must* have a charge time of 0.5 seconds or shorter to ensure you beat that shotgunner to the punch, but they are effective from farther out than shotguns. Of course, fusion rifles being a tad slower to fire, and forcing you into choosing engagements at longer ranges puts you squarely into the pulse rifle and scout rifle optimal ranges. Well shit.
Perhaps it's time for Plan C.
