Players are floored by a Fortnite pro player's remark concerning weapon skills

Fortnite is home to some of the most unique and incredible weapons in any game, and the list continues to grow. The guns in the game come in various shapes and sizes and are further divided into rarities, with gold rarity weapons offering the best stats.

Recently, a pro player going by the name actingliketommy on Twitter shared his opinions about weapon skills and what weapon class he thinks requires more mastery. As per the pro player, "SMGs are higher skill weapons cuz u gotta track and hit every shot. 203 pumps only require 1 lucky hit."

This comment by the player has left the community in utter shock and disagreement. While it's true that shotguns can be immense in some instances, they too require great mastery and grinding. Furthermore, only the golden shotgun has damage of above 200 in the game, and it's rare to come across one.

Many players even argue that SMGs can be sprayed on enemies or their builds from long distances, while shotguns require players to map out their targets, play at certain angles, and use covers. Players can't go around shooting in the open with a shotgun.

However, that doesn't mean SMGs require no skill or practice. You will need to learn and keep in mind the recoil, spray patterns, use of attachments and more while using SMGs, which takes time. The comment about SMGs being a higher skill weapon class is not apt as every weapon class has its learning curve and distinctive features.
