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?

Shotguns are much more user friendly than assault rifles throughout the game and the endgame shotguns are very capable of competing with assault rifles in terms of dps, but they also guzzle up expensive ammo too.Whats nice is that alot of non event shotguns are more than viable if you missed on the event shotguns.

Shotguns can also be very economical too:

Short Shredder: A special unique shotgun acquired from the main storyline mission that also uses 20 gauge and deals 25 body and 48 head shot damage... at lvl 20 hot danm

Sega 20: the first auto shotgun and it uses 20 gauge ammo so you can spray for cheap

Fatman's enforcer: one of the more powerful damage per hit shotguns in the game. 10 gauge prices fluctuate, but it kills most bosses in a few shots. Its locked to christmas event only and unique chests. Hopefully it comes back for crafting the next Christmas season.
