EOT or Red Dot for SGs?

Which accessory would be more effective for Shotguns? I've been thinking of equipping Red Dot to add more accuracy, but EOT that also gives some Damage boost isn't so bad either.

Any advice?

Hey mate

Accessory choice for MG's is heavily dependent on their accuracy before equipment. If the accuracy (base stat * buff tiles) is less than 20 use the Red dot so your MG's will actually hit something, if the accuracy is between 20 - 35 use an EOT and if accuracy is higher than 35 use a VFL (crit scope) to improve damage output

Also if your absolutely certain your MG's will only fight armoured units (excluding maticores and armoured bosses) use a VFL.

Hope this helps

Sorry mate

I just realised that I misread your question as being about MGs instead of SGs. For the most part an EOT will perform better as a SG’s main roll is tanking not damage dealing and the majority of theirs damage comes from
pseudo nukes skills where accuracy isn’t very relevant. One exemption is USAS-12, due to having a DPS skill, accessory depends on what ammo is being used. With buckshot a red dot sight is better due to the horrendous accuracy of a shot gun even with a good accuracy buffer. If a slug is being used it can more than double her accuracy making an EOT more effective. There is also the rare case where where a VFL could be used against exclusively low evasion targets (with a acc buffer e.g. spitfire) or against only armour maps where accuracy is irrelevant.
