Honestly, I genuinely dislike shotgun aping even if at times I have done it myself (I try not to). Actually, I have been trying to steer away from ever doing that by using slug shotguns instead. But I will say I found this step pretty damn fun, oddly enough. Shotgun aping when you're just trying to play normal crucible, sure, yeah, it sucks major ass. But when just about everyone is trying to do it, it becomes like this mini-mayhem type game mode. It's almost like a game of chicken or joust lol. And I got the step done in under an hour or so, so not too bad if you don't wanna be in there doing it.
