Shotgun damage was shadow nerfed
You guys really need to put these things in the patch notes. Really bad to have to figure this out in game rather than know going forward. You either reduced the range or reduced the damage on the WSTR shotgun. There's zero chance this is normal. I have two clips. One with two direct body shots not downing a blue shield, and another one where I directly hit a player in the body right after my teammate shot him with a sniper shot. Neither enemy players went down in this situation. You guys need to add this to the patch notes immediately.

Hello there,
Thank you very much for reaching out to us. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with the shotgun. While we have made some nerfs to the weapon in the past, in the event something may have changed with the patch, can you provide us with the clip(s) you had taken? You can upload them to one of the media-sharing websites listed below:

Both shots hit, and runner was already damaged from a tox grenade. Should have downed

This is the viewpoint of my teammate. He recorded it. He hits him with a sniper shot and I hit him with a shotgun body shot. Should have been a down. Takes another sniper shot to down him.

Another example from Wallah. This entire video is full of proof that something has gone very wrong with the WSTR. It should not be missing shots like this up close. You guys gotta fix this.

In the Wallah video you can see that he's hitting the wall next to him (you can see the white dust flying after every shot), so there might be some spread issues because I don't think the shots should have hit the wall, but no issue with the damage as he does not hit the player at all with it.
