Bungie has confirmed that Desitny hotfix 2.5.0.2, one that buffs primary weapons and nerfs shotguns, will be released on 14 February.

The update will depower shotguns, promoting stronger primaries that will also counter shotties. It will also change power levels of subclasses, Exotics and more.

Arrekz Gaming has all the details, including new tactics you may want to consider when using a shotgun, in his latest video:

The hotfix was most recently detailed as part of a Bungie Weekly Update.

Destiny is currently available on Xbox One and PS4.
