Shotguns have been a bit of a problem for quite some time in the world of Fortnite. There's nothing more frustrating than being one-shotted from out of nowhere.
Well if all that sounds a bit too familiar to you, then we've got some good news.
Fortnite made an announcement yesterday:

"For a while we felt that Shotguns promoted healthy close quarter gameplay, however with the recent equip time changes, Shotguns are being used more often than we like." they said in a blog post. "It's something we've been keeping an eye on, but broadly speaking we feel Shotguns are a little too strong in their current state. As a result, we're making these adjustments:
- Pump Shotgun
- Headshot multiplier reduced from 2.5 to 2.0
- Damage reduced from 90/95 to 80/85
- Tactical Shotgun
- Headshot multiplier reduced from 2.5 to 2.0
Shotgun consistency across the board is also something we're looking into and aim to improve. We want to make it more apparent when you hit or miss a shot. In addition to that, making sure the accuracy is more consistent and improving other odd behaviours with the weapon is a top priority. We've identified a number of issues that we're currently working on solving in the near future."
The news has been met with some mixed reviews from the Fornite gamer world:
So what do you reckon, good move?
