"My mother had a shotgun we called The Chaperone. Kept us alive out there, before we got to the City."

This week we look at an exotic shotgun many people seem to put off or simply have not completed the quest to receive it. The Chaperone, currently one of only 3 weapons we have from the Tex Mechanica weapon foundry. The Chaperone is acquired through an exotic quest that isn't too hard, but requires you prove yourself with The Last Word.

The Chaperone in the right hands can be a deadly weapon. It is also very unique from every other shotgun in Destiny due to the fact that it shoots slugs instead of a spread. This being said The Chaperone takes a bit more skill and effort to use effectively.

PvP:

One shot kill to the head at range, not a one shot kill to the body
Faster fire rate allows for easy follow up shots
Exotic perk allows for more range
Overall fun to use in the crucible.

PvE:

Maybe not the most effective exotic shotgun but not the worst choice
Faster fire rate can allow for a lot of damage
Solar damage can be useful for strikes with solar burn or solar shielded enemies
Probably better off using this in PvP; there are many other exotics better suited for PvE

Oh did I mention the dope whip sound effect? That's pretty cool too. Whappishhh!

The Chaperone, with enough practice can be a lot of fun and can hold its own against others shotguns. Just remember that it's not a one shot kill to the body so aim for the head.
