I generally avoid shotguns unless I need to use them for some sort of challenge or if the situation makes sense to use them. But in terms of something like BF1 I will almost never use a shotgun as my primary weapon. I don't enjoy having to consider the effective range of the gun I'm using if I can clearly see an enemy. I tend to favor semi-automatic rifles with either iron sights or a scope with low-medium magnification. For example in BF1 my most used weapon is the Mondragón. If I can put a suppressor on the gun I'll also probably do that.
In terms of melee weapons I generally stay away from slower weapons like two handed swords, maces, etc. I tend to prefer the standard one handed sword or axe with a shield although I really like dual wielding weapons, specifically daggers, for some reason. Also a big fan of using a bow.
