Fortnite has had a long history of making controversial changes to their shotgun roster almost every new season.Without a doubt, a large portion of the community will trade most of the shotguns this season to get back the beloved "Pump Shotgun."Unfortunately for them, Fortnite Season 6's Primal Shotgun has been labeled by many as game-breaking.The primal weapon makes up for its less-than-intimidating name with its ability to destroy opponents. Available in common-to-mythic rarity, the item shoots fast-paced shells that can annihilate opponents and functions similar to the Drum Shotgun.A casual’s dream becomes a competitive players’ nightmareWhile most casual communities had little-to-no woes about the primal shotgun, the competitive community, on the other hand, blew their collective gasket.REMOVE THE FUCKING PRIMAL SHOTGUN BRO THIS DOGSHIT GUN LIKE HOLY FUCK THE MOST UNSKILLFUL GUN IN ALL OF HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES LIKE HOW TF DO U MANAGE TO MAKE THIS A ACTUAL GUN IN THE GAME LIKE ITS SO FUCKING BROKEN HOLY SHIT FUCKING REMOVE IT BRO IM LOSING MY MIND WHAT THE FUCK— FaZe Sway (@FaZeSway) March 29, 2021Fortnite pro Sway called the gun "unskillful" in a not-so-family-friendly tweet.

It would mean to stop the gun from functioning like an SMG.Another change being sought by the Fortnite competitive community is for the weapons to be removed from competitive playlists, namely Arena Solo and Duos.
