This article looks into the 5 reasons why the Pump Shotgun may possibly return to Fortnite.5 reasons why the Pump Shotgun may return to Fortnite@FortniteGame unvault infantry rifle, hand cannon (Deagle), pump shotgun, dual pistols, rift to go, and slurp juice— UD Swah (@SwahYoutube) March 5, 2021#1 Shotgun Dynamics@FortniteGame why is it that when you pick up a charge shotgun, it NEVER charges when you are in a close quarter fight? Remove it and bring back green and blue pumps.— Xplosive (@NapalmXplosive) March 4, 2021When it comes to shotguns in Fortnite, the weapons are either very overpowered or very ineffective. In close quarters shotguns are beasts, but then again, shotguns like the Heavy Shotgun fail to leave a mark even in close quarters combat, whereas the Pump Shotgun can obliterate anything in its path in close quarters.Will there ever be a season with both the pump shotgun and the Tactical shotgun#FortniteSeason6 #Fortnite #EpicGames https://t.co/ZmiQ7eJrWw— Bobby Chicken Plays (@BobbyChicken55) March 4, 2021#2 Weapon Attachments@FortniteGame I’m starting to think the lever action shotgun is better than the pump but also bring the pump back and keep the lever action shotgun in the game to— atkscopes (@atkscopes) March 4, 2021There are rumors about weapons receiving attachments in Fortnite next season. Once these attachments make it to the game, the entire gun play schematic is bound to change.Imagine @FortniteGame vaults the Lever action shotgun and unvaults the pump later 👀— ☘️ x2 FLUID ☘️ (@FluidBoii) March 2, 2021Depending upon the kind of attachments that shotguns receive, it'll be interesting to see how the Pump Shotgun behaves in Fortnite.bring back the pump shotgun @FortniteGame— Eclipse Arctic (@ArcticHimself) March 4, 2021#3 Shotgun reliability in Season 5Tac and pump are not close to each other.Tac is the most balanced shotgun in the entire game but the pump is absolute stupid weapon. Shotguns should’ve been “who hits the hardest wins the fight not who pressed the button first which’s the pump.Just press the button = 200— galactus (@galactusfort) March 3, 2021Shotguns have been very unreliable in Chapter 2 Season 5. The Charge Shotgun is an amazing weapon if used correctly, but is very rare. The Tactical shotgun on the other hand, is readily available but is very unpredictable. The Dragon's Breath Shotgun has a high reload time and can put players in very sticky situations.@FortniteGame @DonaldMustard vault the charge bring back pump shotgun!!!!!!!!— Julio Aguilera (@XxLilM0c0Xx) March 2, 2021Given the fact that the shotgun meta has gone for a toss this season, it's highly likely that the Pump Shotgun will return next season.#4 MechanicsThe Pump Shotgun doesn't have a very complicated mechanic.

Every week, one weapon gets vaulted and in its place another weapon is unvaulted. If Epic Games can remain true to their rotation system, the Pump Shotgun might soon find its way back into Battle Royale
