And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

The problem is, is that it is overpowered when compared to the other weapons. You can't have the vast majority of the weapons only good at a close range, while the BR dominates at every range. The only other weapon that can compete with a BR is a Carbine, but at least that has some level of balance to it: single shot with not so good accuracy.
So make the other weapons a viable option.
This^
Why can't they just increase the range and damage for the most of the other guns The plasma rifle and the AR can easily compete with the BR if they were made into full fledged mid range weapons.
The AR would be able to kill quicker than both the BR and the PR, but would be the least accurate of the three, but still be able to kill effectively at longer distances when you use burst fire. If they need to increase skill gap, they could put headshot bonus in it.
For the Pr, it would be more accurate than the Ar, but deals less damage than the Ar, though it deals a little bit more damage than the BR. It will also get plasma stun as a headshot bonus, and maybe even a damage increase from headshots (not an instant kill from an unshielded headshot though).
The Br should be the most accurate of the three rifles, but also the one that deals the least amount of damage.
The carbine could use an accuracy and mag buff to make it even with the Br.
The shotgun should have more range so it can kill something other than something at point blank, maybe have it's kill range at about one warthog range, but will be able to do damage a bit further.
I think smgs should also get a range buff, and maybe a power buff, but keep it at close range.
And most importantly, remove dual wielding.
