Eventide vs Tactical Shotgun
The verdict
With crit factored in, Eventide puts out 1560.0 DPS against 66.1 for Tactical Shotgun — about 2261% more damage per second. Base hits are Eventide 50 vs Tactical Shotgun 36, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Eventide swings faster at a 2-tick use time versus 34, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
For crowd control, Tactical Shotgun hits with more knockback (7 vs 2), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
