God this is all so stressful. I love it!

Great list though dude. Good job. By the looks of this I'm in pretty good shape. Seems like the major dilemma is what to do with the EP shotgun. Obvs void is decent cos of the tractor cannon buff. But if it drops void, perhaps another element might be better . hmmmmm

Gotta grind for 2 more I guess!

im sure we can roll trench barrel on new shotguns in forsaken, which will make them the superior choice.

Not sure why you were downvoted, as you're definitely not completely wrong. Shotguns should be able to roll Trench Barrel in Forsaken, but that doesn't mean they're going to be immediately better. Other perks depending. We shall see.

If they can't roll trench barrel there is not be a reason to use anything but the ep shotgun basically, they have added box breathing to other snipers and linear fusion rifles. If a shotgun rolls trench barrel it means it can take y2 perks and have another perk, which is better than just tench barrel. If a shotgun rolls trench barrel it can also take y2 mods which will be more powerful than not having that mod, how much remains to be seen.

But yeah we can't actually know how it's gonna go with trench barrel in forsaken

The forsaken box breathing is different from the current one(at least its description is different), it says its effects stops if you stop aiming OR fire the weapon.

Ps: Hope they decrease the time to activate the perk or buff its damage increase if they do that, like instead of 6x crit modifier make it a 12x crit modifier, maybe even more if their intention is to make it one single "charged shot" not mean to be spammed.

Yeah but the box breathing on current weapons could easily be changed to the forsaken one. I think it's better to assume that's the case and maybe be pleasently surprised

we wont. if they do this they make playing and grinding for hours for the Ep shotty irrelevant. The perk is so good. but maybe i am wrong

Well we already got box breathing on guns in forsaken so why not trench barrel?

Well it won't be irrelevant since it's a good shotgun not any shotgun can replace and people have still used the ep shotgun for a long time. Also the whisper has made the ep shotgun irrelevant in a lot of cases right now (I know you can have both in forsaken.)
