The Battlefield 6 open beta has ended, and now Battlefield Studios has published a blog post that runs through some of the key changes for launch–and that includes a big nerf for the shotgun.
The M87A1 shotgun was too powerful in the beta, many said, and now Battlefield Studios will make a change to it so it “requires more pellets to secure a kill.” The developer was made aware of the shotgun issues almost immediately after the beta went live, and the studio said on August 10 that the shotgun problems were already “resolved” in a different build of the game.
