That's a smart way to go about it. I love shotguns and tanking, but when I helped out a buddy starting out he couldn't stand Rhino. I've talked about circuit in another post, it really helps out the new player experience I think, just due to the accessibility of it and getting new frames.
I appreciate your well thought out reply on this too, thank you
Any recommendations on kitguns? I've only just made 1 after hundreds of hours, secondary rattleguts, and it seems ok
