— In-Game Description

The Pump Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 1.

Functionality

The Pump Shotgun is a high damage, short range and slow firing shotgun, best suited to very close quarters. It has 5 shells in the magazine and must be pumped between shots, leading a slow fire rate. It excels at close range combat with its ability to deal significant damage. At lower rarities it still does significant damage, but is very punishing if you miss. The Pump Shotgun can hit targets at mid range, but the damage drop off is so high, and the spread so great that only 1 or 2 pellets will hit.

Strategy Guide

The risk was calculated... but man am I bad at math.

This section outlines a strategy. Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• The Pump Shotgun is a very powerful shotgun in Battle Royale, at the cost of having a low fire rate and small ammo capacity of five rounds. A well-placed shot could remove a target's shield completely or eliminate a target in one shot at close ranges, depending on the rarity.
• This shotgun has a slower fire rate than many other shotguns. If you are reloading this shotgun, make sure to check for opponents that can possibly attack you.
  • A fast-firing weapon to switch to is recommended, such as a submachine gun or pistol, as the Pump Shotgun is quite slow to shoot and is rather unpredictable at medium distances, sometimes dealing very low damage. A good strategy is to fire the Pump Shotgun to do a lot of damage then switching to your fast firing weapon to eliminate your enemy.

• The Pump Shotgun is incapable of quickly destroying structures due to its extremely lowered structure damage.
• In close quarters, other shotguns like the Tactical Shotgun can easily outpace the Pump's slow firing, making it a high risk, high reward weapon. It is recommended to use a pump if you are more confident in your abilities, especially with hitting headshots.

Trivia

• The Common , Uncommon and Rare models are based on the American Remington 870.
• Its Epic and Legendary model is based on the Italian SPAS-12. In real life the SPAS-12 can switch between Semi-automatic and Pump action, hence why its presence in other games may be of a different configuration.
  • This is the reason for players often referring to these rarities of Pump Shotguns as "SPAS".
  • When reloading, the player does not press the carrying hatch button on the side of shotgun like most other games.
• The Pump Shotgun was part of Tilted Town's exclusive loot pool to match the Western theme.
• During Chapter 3: Season 1, there was a tiny chance to obtain it from a Malfunctioning Vending Machine.
