SG-8S Slugger

"A modified Punisher shotgun firing heavy, high-damage slug rounds. Perfect for punching holes in big targets."

- Armory Description

The SG-8 Slugger is a pump-action, dual tube-fed shotgun in Helldivers 2. A modified version of the base SG-8 Punisher it trades buckshot rounds for slug rounds.

The Punisher is available on page eight of Warbond: Helldivers Mobilize.

Role:
The Slugger trades crowd control for instead heavy damage to a single target. Primarily useful against larger unarmored enemies like Brood Commanders and Hunters. Fairly wasteful to use on smaller enemies and its limitation of light armor penetration makes it's utility against automatons limited outside of flanking at close range.
