Season 3 brought with it a whole bunch of new changes. From a flooded map, to annoying Marauder NPCs, to sharks, to Aquaman… there's a lot to digest. And like any big meal, it's best to break it down into bite-sized chunks rather than gobble it down whole, so join us as we first dive into one of Season 3's most controversial changes: the shotgun meta.
What is the best shotgun in Fortnite?
We have some bad news for fans of the Pump Shotgun: everyone’s favorite pump-action KO artist is going into the vault this season. In its place is the brand new Charge Shotgun. Aside from the newcomer, the only other shotgun available this season is the familiar Tactical Shotgun. Although it now shoots pillows. Figuratively speaking.
Oh, and there's more bad news for our shotgun brethren: the shotgun's headshot multiplier has been significantly weakened (looks like Epic has something against the TAC shotgun or something).
Being fully automatic and having the fourth highest rate of fire of all current and previous shotguns, the tactical shotgun is an excellent tool to suppress your enemy.
