Glitches have been an inseparable part of Fortnite, but with that said, getting the old Pump Shotgun after all this time would be an excellent idea. Make sure you find these before Epic fixes them with a patch. The Pump Shotgun was introduced in Chapter 1 and has extremely great stats.

Players loved the weapon and many still want Epic to bring it back in one way or another. The weapon was replaced with the Charge Shotgun but could not match its predecessor's reputation.
