The Pump Shotgun is arguably the most powerful Fortnite shotgun of all time. It is one of the original weapons that were available in the game when it was released in September 2017. However, it is no longer a part of the loot pool, much to the frustration of many players.

The crowd-favorite weapon has undergone many buffs and nerfs, being vaulted and unvaulted numerous times over the course of the game. However, it hasn't been available in regular modes since Chapter 2 Season 7.

Back in Chapter 3 Season 1, players were able to get the Pump Shotgun from a Mulfunctioning Vending Machine. However, this was a glitch that was quickly fixed by Epic Games.

According to HYPEX and iFireMonkey, two very reputable Fortnite leakers, the popular close-range weapon will return in Chapter 4 Season 2. They claim that a new version of the Pump Shotgun will be released in the upcoming season.

While this Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 leak doesn't reveal the exact stats of the weapon, many will hope that it is still capable of taking enemies down with a single shot in regular modes.

Considering how powerful the Pump Shotgun is, it will undoubtedly have a significant effect on the meta of the upcoming season. Apart from unvaulting the weapon, Epic may also add some Reality Augments to enhance it, such as the ability to use the Double Pump technique.

Besides the Pump Shotgun, Epic Games is expected to release a new version of the Ranger Assault Rifle. This slow-firing automatic rifle, last available in Chapter 3, is capable of dealing massive damage.

Another Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 leak claims that Epic will add new melee weapons to the game. A new Mythic item is also set to be added with the Attack on Titan collaboration. Interestingly, this will be a grappler, and it will be interesting to see how it fits into everyone's playstyle.

The biggest news though is the release of the Creative 2.0 mode. Set to be a game-changer, it will be released in March, as confirmed by Epic. Some are speculating that first-person mode may also arrive in the game next season.
