The new Prophet of Doom Shotgun can have the following perks for the best performance in Destiny 2 PvE:

Barrel Shroud for increased Stability and Handling
Assault Mag for increased RPM and Stability
Threat Detector for increased Handling, Reload Speed, and Stability when more enemies are nearby
One-Two Punch for increased melee damage after landing all barrel shots on the enemy

Voltshot can directly replace One-Two Punch in the fourth column if you want to clear mobs. Other decent perks include Pugilist for melee energy, and Cascade Point for a significant rise in fire rate.

Players should avoid the combination of Reconstruction and Voltshot, as the former perk can overflow the magazine, allowing no room for reloading. The latter perk, Voltshot, cannot be activated without reloading. Hence, these two perks together should be avoided at all costs.

The new Prophet of Doom Shotgun can have the following perks for the best performance in PvP:

Full Choke for tightened barrel and less projectile spread
Accurized Rounds for increased Range on the weapon
Threat Detector for increased Handling, Reload Speed, and Stability when more enemies are nearby
Closing Time for increased Range, Handling, and Accuracy as the magazine gets lower. The main stat to look out for is the Range, which is a great +25 boost with the final bullet.

Opening Shot is a great perk to have in the fourth column as well.
