People aren't happy about the new Fortnite compact SMG: it's too powerful, too accurate, and probably too attractive, too. So Epic Games has issued a hotfix which rather drastically reduces its power.

"We've heard your feedback regarding SMGs and that they’re stronger than we would like at the moment," an Epic spokesperson wrote on the Fortnite battle royale subreddit. "We agree and have just pushed a hotfix live adjusting these values - bringing them more in line with where we want them."
