The Supercluster is a seasonal Shotgun available for focusing and crafting. You can also run seasonal activities such as The Coil and Riven's Lair for a chance to get the weapon.

For focusing and crafting, you can head to the Riven vendor via the HELM, and look for it inside the Wish Engram Decoding section. However, it is recommended that you unlock the focusing by completing the "Wishful Weapon Focusing" seasonal challenge under the Seasonal Bonuses tab.

Once done, you will be free to focus on Wish and Undying weapons in exchange for four Engram and 3000 Glimmer.

As mentioned, Precision Slug Shotguns got a minor buff in PvP with Hotfix 7.2.5. The basic rule of Slug Shotguns usually requires the wielder to aim for the enemy's head, as the archetype can easily one-shot anyone from a fair distance. With the AE penalties reduced, the wielder can be more aggressive with it.

Regarding PvP, Precision Slug Shotguns are great against bosses and elite DPS enemies, as long as the entity is within the range of damage fall-off. The approximate damage fall-off range of Precision Slug Shotguns is between 8 to 10 meters.

Hence, bosses such as Taniks Abomination, Champions, Nightmare of Caiatl, Locus of Wailing Grief, Templar, and anything that isn't hovering in the sky can fall victim to this archetype.
