In the situation that kewlbot shows I tend to shoot for like 3 hits or so (still got some more bullets in the clip), and when I'm in melee range I finish him with a punch. Because he already took damage I can one-punch him, and by killing in melee I get ammo back.
So, I rarely finish an enemy only by shooting in this kind of situation.
Yes, that is what I had accommodated to, because I usually empty the shotgun before the enemy dies and have to finish them with melee.
Is this her intended playstyle?
It's really weird for new players, because they are used to other shooters where shotguns are really powerful, here not so much.
I can see this feedback being echoed in the future.
