Fortnite Season 6 brought back the Mythic Primal shotgun, which SypherPK asked Epic Games to nerf due to its strength.

SypherPK demonstrated how powerful the Mythic Primal Shotgun was by killing multiple enemy players in 1v1 shootouts. He would get close enough using other weapons and would then switch to demonstrate the speed and strength of the new shotgun.

To further prove his case, SypherPK even destroyed someone who was using a golden pump shotgun. The fight was as if someone fought an AR with a pistol, there was no competition between the two. Looking at the stats of the shotgun, it’s clear how easily it could be exploited.

This shotgun deals 70 damage per hit, meaning an enemy player with full health and shield only needs to be hit three times. This is made even better by the fact that the Mythic Primal Shotgun holds 12 rounds in its magazine and fires almost as fast as a pistol.

SypherPK is absolutely correct! This weapon is far too overpowered to be fair in-game. Any player wielding this can kill other players in 1v1s with very little difficulty or skill. They can even easily kill up to three opponents before reloading.

SypherPK also showed how a different weapon can be used to be overpowered in Fortnite Season 6

SypherPK would make the walls weak and then use the Mechanical Shockwave Bow. SypherPK discovered that the arrow will proceed past weaker walls, making it perfect for killing players who are sheltering behind walls.

In his video, he demonstrated how to send players into the storm from behind a wall with the bow. SypherPK even showed players how to use the bow to destroy an entire cube of the wall to knock a player all the way down to the ground. The bow gives build battles a new sense of unfair danger and players feel it should probably also be nerfed.

Players can expect easy wins if they follow SypherPK’s example with the new weapons this season.
