Hey @vinny quick combat tip, no spoilers! Shotgunners can switch to their sidearm when they're too far to make use of their shotgun. It's a pistol and has better range! It can be swapped to on PC by pressing "X" while controlling the character in question. I'm not sure what the controller mapping is, have fun with that!
Of course Dan is the worst possible commander. I mean of course he is. I felt Vinny's pain as he watched terrible call after terrible call. EDIT: oh my god it gets so much worse.
