I see lots of people running tracks in low and mid PS, and they are effective against both melee and goblin/gremlin builds.
But playing a wheeled shotgun build against goblin bricks can be tough, unless you have enough mass and power to pin them from the side/back.
My usual strategy against those builds is to keep distance or pin from the side. But if they are running augers, pinning may be a bad idea.
Favourite just doesn’t work that well with shotguns anymore. I use it for miniguns only now.
For a goblin/gremlin build, I would be more likely to use bastion, humpback, howl, or even saviour. Saviour is actually pretty good on those builds, as the gun and cabin perk stacks for lots of damage. Back in the old days humpback or bastion worked well, but I haven’t owned either for years.
Any MG build that goes 100, which most do, will smoke these things. I’ve been invited to these try hard augur hunginn under mounted shotgun teams because I was a problem for them. 95% of players just drive right up and expect a miracle I guess. The counter is simply speed, MG, aim for cab.
