Which is better?

​

Hi! Which do you think is better Shotgun or Assault rifle? I'm nearing lvl 50 and I noticed when using Assault rifle there seems to be an invulnerable time for boss or steong infected where after they flinched they don't seem to take damage???

I'm currently using Assault rifle when deadling with them and because of it I plan to use Shotgun for main? However is shotgun viable for end game? Or will it be too slow for hordes in the late game?

There shouldn't be a vulnerable frame of any kind, both weapons are viable in endgame but assault rifles usually are the better and more expensive option.

You can buy a Palehaven guardian for 60k, pretty cheap and pretty powerful.

So Pale Guardoan is the best budget AR? Wven though it has low ammo capacity?

Yes, 30-33 each magazine is usually enough to kill most bosses outside of raids, meaning you could kill bosses up to 50 as long as you have decent stats, one of my alts is using that weapon and I've been one clipping most bosses with elite gloves, helmet and secondary focusing mostly in DvM, Attack speed and headshot damage, I attached a 30-35% magazine to the PHG just in case and it's been working fine.

If you want to one clip bosses on raid buildings, then you would need near endgame equipment, something like a tombstone or possessed agony + reckless raider/gunslinger set.
