Marathon's most popular shotgun is getting nerfed a second time, as Bungie worries it is 'eclipsing a lot of the other short range options that exist in the game'

Bungie is implementing a second nerf to the WSTR shotgun in Marathon, aiming to prevent it from overshadowing other short-range weapon options. The upcoming update will prevent the shotgun from downing enemies with blue shields or higher in two shots, forcing a reload and allowing for more counterplay. The WSTR will still be effective against green-shielded enemies, maintaining its utility for newer players.
