Combining netrunning with shotguns is actually pretty solid right now, and i can help you make it work. You'll want to focus on getting intelligence and body up to around 15 each, since that unlocks the really good perks that make this combo shine. Something interesting about this setup is how short circuit works with shotguns - each pellet can trigger that electric damage which is pretty devastating in practice.

For the core build you're gonna want perks like critical error and biosynergy for your hacking side, then grab spontaneous obliteration and bulldozer for the shotgun stuff. The netwatch netdriver is basically essential here since it lets you spread hacks around, and don't forget about self-ice and kerenzikov cause you'll need that defensive stuff when things get up close and personal.

The way you play this is pretty straightforward but needs some finesse - start with some control hacks like weapon glitch to mess with enemies, then close in with your shotgun when they're vulnerable. Since the 2.0 update changed how netrunning works, you can't just hang back anymore which actually makes this hybrid style work even better. The trace mechanics mean you gotta stay mobile, and having a shotgun ready when stealth fails is super helpful. Maybe worth noting that while pure builds might be technically stronger, this combo is really fun and effective especially in tight spaces where you've got lots of targets bunched together.
