"Helldivers 2 Devs Nerf Shotgun, Sparking Outcry Among Players"

TL;DR Summary
In a recent patch for Helldivers 2, the popular SG-85 Slugger shotgun was significantly nerfed due to its effectiveness as a long-range weapon, with reduced damage and stagger. The game designer explained that the Slugger was too powerful as a sniper rifle, prompting the changes. Additionally, sniper rifles were buffed in the same patch, with further adjustments planned for the Punisher Plasma in the next update.
