SG-8S Slugger

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 Slugger 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. Much like the base model Punisher, the wielder can only carry 60 rounds, plus 16 rounds in the gun itself, making it not a very good choice for dispatching waves of fodder enemies. 
While it is recommended to still aim for weak points as despite being able to penetrate medium armor, it will still inflict reduced damage.
===Notes===
*This weapon has Medium Penetration, enabling this weapon to damage Hive Guards and Devastators without hitting weak spots.
**Aiming for the weak points is still recommended as medium armor penetration doesn’t allow the weapon to deal full damage upon impact, aiming at the weakpoints will dispatch targets much faster; for example, a single well-placed headshot from the Slugger will instantly kill a Devastator.
*This weapon traits section is the only one to list the Armor Penetration second as opposed to first.

===Trivia===
*Slugs are a type of shotgun load where the projectile is a single, heavy bullet. Slugs are typically used for taking down big game animals, who's bodies can typically withstand several hits from traditional buckshot. Against humans, they are used primarily against armored targets, as the slug's weight can either destroy armor plates and vests, or cause enough trauma to the target to take them down through concussive force.
