Relax guys, forget the balance. Ogris and Acrid will still beat the game. This shotgun may be a bit over the top, but it's not almighty. The only sad thing is that it comes from limited event, not from something actually acquirable(Dojo\Boss\Void), meaning that it will just become a trolling weapon.

I don't know what did Hek\Sobek users see themselves doing, even at rank 4 I'd rather get Miter\Torid, but at higher ranks shotguns became totally obsolete. What good is a ammo-limited shot-ranged almost-bullet weapon, compared to Serrated Flux, that can obliterate enemies in seconds? To Torid, that may be not very accurate, but still provide unique AoE? To Supra, that can unload waves of inaccurate but strong blasts? To Lanka, that does 250 Serrated per shot at any range? Shotguns needed an endgame version(Acrid for pistols, Orthos\Fang Prime for melee, Supra for machinegun, Flux for assault rifle, Ogris for AoE, Lanka for sniper  rifle).

This shotgun looks to be just this endgame version, albeit so wrongly acquired. It is limited by ammo, range, damage type, but it has damage second only to Lanka and Ogris and it has good crit stats(although I also believe the crit chance is a typo(5% and 50%, figures)). It can compete with Flux and Supra, and even be good for Defense, due to close-range fights from the base.
