re: To anyone who's played The Division

Sometimes I have good luck if I can lure him to an area where I can climb a ladder and then start shooting at him from the rooftop. If he starts walking away, I'll climb down and bait him a little more, then climb back up. Sometimes it might take awhile to kill him, but it's better than respawning all the time, esp. if the nearest safe house is a long distance away...

Apparently it's pretty agreed upon not to use a shotgun, so I guess my instincts were right by never buying one...
