What Perk Affects Shotguns in Fallout 4?
Rifles and shotguns in Fallout 4 get their boost from the Rifleman perk. This nifty perk not only increases the damage dealt by these weapons but also gives you a better chance at crippling a limb. So, if shotguns are your go-to for wasteland justice, you'll wanna invest in Rifleman to make each blast count.

Gotta disagree, folks. While Rifleman does boost shotgun damage, don't sleep on the Gun Nut perk. It's all about those mods. A modded shotgun with Rifleman? Chef's kiss!
Nah, Rifleman is all you need for shotguns. Keep it simple, slay mutants without overthinking it.
Just to add, don't forget Bloody Mess for some extra fun. More damage and more gore? Yes, please! Who doesn't love a bit of overkill with their shotgun spree?
