Fortnite Battle Royale - Pump Shotgun Tips

Fortnite Battle Royale sure has a plethora of exotic weapons. And a shotgun is one of them. I can’t stress the usefulness of a shotgun; in fact, I use a shotgun in most of the games. The main reason is the damage it does; it’s just incredible. In Fortnite Battle Royale, virtually every player uses a shotgun and gets a kill or two. So, therefore, I am going to shed some light on a few tips about pump shotgun that is a type of shotgun among three different shotguns in Fortnite. Okay, so without further ado, let’s get started:

Land Your Shots Carefully:
The reason that I am suggesting you to be careful while landing your shots with a pump shotgun is that this gun takes a while before you can fire another shot. This is the only drawback with this shotgun. So when you are engaging with an enemy while carrying a pump shotgun, never shoot without aiming. Just do your best to aim as accurate as you can before you fire your shot otherwise your opponent will take you out while you are still waiting to fire a second shot.

Aim for the Head:
The best thing about pump shotgun beside the massive damage is its range. For a shotgun, it surprisingly has a good range. So you are more likely to hit the spot you are aiming for even from a distance. Just try to aim for the head or at least at the chest to deal as much damage as you can, and if you hit the right spot, you may kill the enemy in just one shot.

First Shot is Important:
When using the pump shotgun, the most important shot is your first shot. This is because this gun does massive damage in just one shot and you can even take out two enemies with one shot if your timing and aiming are right. So make sure to fire the first shot carefully and then you don’t have to wait for the gun to be able to fire the second shot, you can finish off the enemy by taking out another weapon, even a pistol.

Double Pump:
A trick with pump shotgun that is used by a lot of players in the double pump. What exactly happens is that you fire one shot with a pump shotgun, and then you take out the second pump shotgun, so it cuts the time that the pump shotgun takes in getting ready for the second shot. The only thing that you need is second pump shotgun, and you are good to go for this trick. It is a very handy trick and will let you fire shots without a gap in between so you can easily finish off an enemy.
