"Helldivers 2 Patch Overhauls Weapon Balance and Introduces New Challenges"
TL;DR
Helldivers 2 players are upset over the latest patch that nerfed the Slugger shotgun, reducing its stagger impact and damage. Players argue that the changes were unnecessary and have made the Slugger less effective compared to other weapons. Some question the developer's decision to reduce damage instead of addressing bullet drop-off over increased distances. The community is calling for improvements to other weapons rather than nerfing the competition.
