Slug Shotgun Exploit Fixed in Destiny 2 Hotfixes

In recent Patch Notes, we read that Slug Shotgun Exploit was fixed alongside a few other minor fixes on May 9th, 2023, Destiny 2 Hotfix 7.0.5.3.

There was a small exploit where players could equip any slug shotgun and then swap to another one, their favourite and the most damage-producing shotgun with huge damage output. Bunge now solved this issue and added a two-second window, and if swapped from inventory, the weapon cannot be fired. We’ll see how this change will perform and if it won’t cause any new unintended issues.
