- Evolution of Fortnite Shotguns (Chapter 1 - 3)
The Fortnite Shotgun meta has evolved from Chapter 1 Season 0, all the way up till Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1. I break down the shotgun changes from Pump, Tactical, Charge, Lever, Auto Shotgun, Striker Pump shotgun and many more.

You forgot that in Season 1 Chapter 2 the pump and tac did the exact same base and headshot damage but the tac could shoot faster while the pump had a slightly longer range. The tac then got nerved too much at start of Season 2 so you only hit 40 when an opponent was more than 1 tile away. This then also made the charge season weird because the charge felt clunky and the tac hit really low. Then in S5 the tac got buffed again
The "buff" the Tactical got in Season 15 was 4 damage
yea at the start of chapter 2 season 1 pump was completely pointless cuz the tac was practically a double pump version of the pump (they did the same bodyshot and headshot damage)
@@246bro9 yeah.
Feel like gold Pump was still usable though.
@@246bro9Not only that they reduced the strong damage drop off again from futher away
got the tac was so strong when chapter 2 came out.
And now they added back the heavy shotgun, however it's had a ton of changes. It only shoots one pellet, its range is incredible and it does the most damage in the game (still no 200 pump tho). However, it is sometimes incredibly challenging to hit a shot with it and you would have to have good aim to be able to use it in most scenarios.
Like bruh at 6 tiles away it still does 120 damages
Yeah, but I think the heavy shotguns doesn't look like a shotgun anymore with that aim. I like it but I think it should be a shotgun that can do like 180 damage in headshot but it's slow to reload ( not too slow like in the older seasons). They should have released the sniper shotgun as it's own weapon.
I actually quite like the new Heavy Shotgun...
Dude if u r shooting without aiming it's at least 60% rng the heavy ahotgun
It's basically an old combat aka sniper shotgun
my biggest complaint with the season is actually the shotgun reload times, these guns would be so much more usable if they werent soooo slow
Things you can do while reloading the Auto Shotgun:
Build a castle
Build to sky limit
Win a match... or get killed because the shotgun takes too long to reload
Get another (better) shotgun
Kill the Foundation/Gunnar
Get to level 200 in the Battle Pass
@@Exile_ok ong 😂😂
I honestly think season X's combat/tac/pump was the best, since each of them promoted a different play style (long range / boxfight / midrange)
Agreed best meta because it was the best selection of strong shotguns to compete with each other.
bru that shit was SPRAY meta basically no such thing as a shotgun
Despite how broken it was, I feel like the heavy shotgun dealing 300 damage at close combat to the head should have stayed, because it would have finally earned the name heavy shotgun.
I feel like they needa make the striker shoot as fast as the pump since it can’t do as much damage and nerf smgs than arena would be playable
Yeah and maybe, just maybe - Revert AA changes! I’m tryna work around it but it is gonna kill off the casuals
the striker is ok atm but another small buff will be welcomed. its just the smg needs a nerf. the mk7 is ok now since you cant blast through builds with it anymore.
Also if they made it so that the striker didnt do 20 damage headshots that would be nice
@@jacksonkoenen5806 if u hit a straight on headshot it'll hit alot harder
Bro what
I recently played Project Era, and oh my god do the shotguns feel so powerful compared to newer shotguns. Its insane.
I loved the season 3 meta in general, the pump was balanced because of the nerfed double pump and the tac was an eligible option against it because of its wider reticle.
Chapter 1 season 2-5 was when the game was at its best.
@@unknownuser4224 no the Pump was useless and the tac OP Not balanced
@@swampyfn1380 it you think the pump was useless back then you were just bad at using it, plus during those seasons was when the game was most fun.
@@unknownuser4224 no you cant be bad at usiong a pump that s not how it works it seems you didnt play at that time smgs were strong aswell
@@swampyfn1380 yh smgs were strong but so was the pump.
I swear you're finding flaws that simply weren't there, I got plenty of pump kills back then and did absolutely fine with it, so idk what you're on about.
"there was no meta everyone was dog shit" is literally the most acurate description of everything until season 4
4:31 I would just like to say a tribute to flamm, providing so many high quality weapon breakdowns, who is unfortunately probably completely blind by now. Rip flamm
It's so sad lowkey when I used to play fortnite I would always watch his vids
Did he die
Reiss can you plz make a duos fighting guide for this meta? Loadouts etc. Pretty sure would help a lot of people out! Keep up the good work, love your vids!
Use a smg
Probably not a smart idea till they nerf spray weapons
@@0rion yeah but one or two maybe peppers u know
watch his last vid about cented and mero, hes probably gonna upload a lot of tutorial type vids on his masterclass thingy
If you want a good meta loadout i would say 2 smgs if they are about blue or above rarity. 1 mk seven and then mini shield and the guzzle juice. This would be for Arena. Dont pick up a shotgun. they are absolutely terrible unless its a gold striker pump.
Pump, Tac and Charge are what I'd call the perfect shotgun meta, pump is great for box fighting, Charge is good for endgame and defensive playstyles, and the tac is great for boxfighting and zero builds
I liked chapter 2 season 5. feel like its more fun without the pump Even tho people want it Back. If it is in the game everyone will Use it and i Enjoy the charge
I feel like chap 2 season 8 is better If they buff the lever slightly than its going to be balance everyone is going to use shotgun to their preference.
@@fuxionxd4822 yeah maybe if they buffed headshot damage that could work
@@fuxionxd4822 everyone Used the pump unless it was some trio strat with the charge
Charge is good but pump is still better in most scenarios
@@huiliu2610 exactly Why it shouldent be in game
The charge wasn't in chapter 2 season 7, unfortunately because I really like it, but I did craft the lever from tac in that season, just because I don't like the tac at all
Fair enough however i feel like that meta was either pump or tac and most didn’t bother to use the lever because it was either too slow or too weak
@@0rion you're right, the lever wasn't very used, I only did it because I really don't like the tac
I really enjoy the tac
@@ghostyspetdog5732 I respect that
The lever felt snappy with a great animation. It should be buffed with the fastest equip time for a niche
This was actually really entertaining! Well done and well told!
Love seeing you make content talking about old school Fortnite and chapter 1 stuff. Awesome video
Fax 🔥
Chapter five shotgun meta: **FRENZY**
The heavy shot gun was perfect for me, rarely lost games with it back in season 3
4:31 I instantly knew that this graph was from flamm. Miss him, hope he is doing good.
The Pump was by far the most balanced during Seasons 6-8, and the Tac was most balanced during Chapter 2 Season 2
Imo blue pump doesn’t need to do 200 only purple nd gold pumps should do 200 to da head
@@stephencurgoat7943 none of them should imo
@@V1Salvo why not
@@stephencurgoat7943 sometimes people get lucky and get an easy one pump. I don’t think any weapon should be able to one shot a full health + shield player in a Battle Royale (except a sniper).
@@V1Salvo purple and gold weapons are made to be good, they may get lucky the pump is known to be a strong shotgun, it needs to at least be balanced. One pump can balance the game out for trash players and good players
Charge shotgun meta was the single most balanced shotguns have ever been in my mind. It was fun too
I love the glass cannon shotguns like the double barrel and the dragon’s breath. If we had a meta based around those I’d actually play this game again
this vid was so good, nice job
I love the lever action shotgun so much because who doesn't want an almost fully auto pump? it does amazing in no builds right now, wider spread(tightened when adsing) and it just shreds. I pair it with the mammoth pistol and it works absolute wonders, i pick it over the shark tooth any time I see it, no matter the rarity, I just got so comfortable with it in ch2 s5
I absolutely love the flippy I crafted it into flippy each time
Rip one pump☠️
C1S6~C3S2
Appreciate your hardwork amazing video earned 3 subs .
Just found this channel and I will say. I love it, keep up the work man, these vids are sick
The tactical shotgun was always my favorite even though everyone else prefered the pump
i could take both ngl
Great video, as always!
They gotta bring back the 200+ pump and get read of this spray Meta.
The Blue and The Green Pump were my favourite ones
A balanced pump vs combat in season 9 would have been goated. It was so frustrating how they messed that up.
I think it's best if they have two types of viable shot guns within a given meta. Pump vs Tac. Combat vs Charge. A Double Barrel vs the Lever Action.
Ideally those prevalent shotguns would come in uncommon and rare, with the option to upgrade up to epic variants.
For example blue pumps you could upgrade to up to an epic havoc or striker. The Tactical shotgun on the other hand could be upgraded up to an epic variant.
The double barrel could be upgraded to an epic dragon breath. While the lever action could be get a havoc variant to upgraded to.
Ideally you could have reserve legendary and mythic weapons to specific locations POIs that need to be plotted for. A couple gold spas/ tacs scattered amongst the top 2 spots. A well paired mythic shot gun and a couple rare versions of that shotgun at tedious POI.
Having the option to upgrade to a shot gun that is your preference, but not necessarily OP over what is found in floor loot. Or being able to fight/ scheme for weapons that offer an advantage. I actually dream of that shit for this game.
The lever action shotgun was one of my favorites
i love pump tac, but i feel like it would be pretty cool if we got a meta with some kinda weird shotguns like the double barrel and the heavy or something stupid like that
Imagine all the shotguns in the lootpool
That will be fun
Scrap that
All guns
Ps just for pubs
Comp loot
Comp shld be
ar,burst,pulse, infantry, tactical, combat
pump,tac,lever,charge,heavy, combat
Revolver, deagle
Silent smg, smg,
Hunter bolt
All meds
Bouncers, launchpads, grapplers,
Harpoon
Not grenades or shockwaves they ruin the game but otherwise it’s the variety that makes it better than everything else we’ve had
@@loganjorcin4332 u are right
Chapter 3 shotguns need a buff asap. I’m a returning player who last played back in Ch 1 season 6 and the spray meta is so unbearable.
For example, I boxed a guy in and was able to shotgun him for torso and a headshot, did about 30-60 damage per shot. This guy, just takes his purple smg, and Insta melted me. It’s unplayable.
I thought this was gonna be just clips of shotguns instead of explaining like the other ones, but I got a nice surprise, nice content.
I miss Flamm making videos like those. So sad his eye condition denies him from making content anymore.
he made the best videos
Love that little shot at NickEh30 LOL
I like the chapter 3 season 1 meta. In chapter 3 season 2 they fixed the shotguns, so I personally loved that one. And still have a place in my heart for the heavy, striker, and auto
I’d honestly listen to this man’s voice to fall asleep
is was so fun having all variants of pump able to 200
I’m glad you mentioned Flamm, he was such an underrated stats UA-camr. Truly a shame he’s going blind and can’t make anymore videos
heavy shotgun was definitely A or S tier< not c tier
Heavy was only S tier when it was double heavy beating double pump in every way in C1S4. It's viability has been inconsistent in the past and it being gone for the entirety of C2 makes it an irrelevant weapon not worth ranking.
Chapter 2 Season 1-5 Pump had the most balanced stats, half of them didnt do insane base and headshot while still being able to compete against the Tactical (not the Common one tho, that didnt do much)
frankly 80/85/90/95/100 x2 headshot is imo the best way to balance it
You forgot to mention that the pump damage range drop off got significantly nerfed in season 5
most accurate thumbnail i’ve ever seen
😂
I genuinely have fallen in love with this channel.
He has the same views on chapter 2 season 6 that I do and I love it.
6:00 I really found Tilted Town amazing. So many people hated Season X I know but tbh I enjoyed it. Especially Tilted Town.
I know I’m late but the thumbnail is so true
Best shotgun loot pool was S5
And best shotgun is
Mythic primal shotgun (before nerf)
8:00 Season 6 had one of the weirdest ways of getting a pump. The way to go around this was to just land on that wood cabin where there you could find that rockstar girl skin and she would give you a mission to just dance and gave you 120 gold, then you would go to the mini version of flush factory and talk to the npc in the back, and she could give you either a purple or a blue pump
The mythic auto shotgun is cracked
4:40 i wonder what flamms doing rn and if his sight is still ditriarating
The damage is so inconsistent with the pump now. It's literally either 40 damage with a headshot, or 110 with a headshot. The shotguns are practically useless, especially if you have the SMG
The auto is even more inconsistent. I hit someone point blank for 18 damage
This channel makes Fortnite competitive interesting
Best Meta: Tac from Ch2 S3, Lever, and Pump from after Ch2 S2. You can sidegrade any of them to a Charge
I loved the good old times of season 7/8 i always played with my mates was so fun... miss these golden times
Man the double barrel shotgun was so fun to use, I miss it so much
The double pump got patched in season 3 but you could still hit a combo with tac pump- tac heavy- pump heavy.
It later got back during S4 and completely removed in S5
i loved the pump/deagle combo from chapter one seasons 6 through 8 (primarily 7) this was the time i played fortnite before leaving and coming back in chapter 2 season 7, and i miss the deagle/pump combo.
In chapter 2 season 5 i would run a tac and a dragons breath I loved if
Chap 2 season 3 was great to have a break from the pump. Charge was great for mid air plays, trickshots and box fights
I really miss the blue pump doing 200 damage
Me too one pump man
Alpaca.Emperor always sidegraded the pump into the charge.
True 😔 now is ch3 pump vault only green is unvaulted
this is fire
🔥
People: The SMGs are way too overpowered and shotguns are so weak!
Epic, drunk: W-what if *hic* DRUM SHOTGUN?
mid season 9 was my favouritre meta, having the pump with the combat and the tac aswell was just the best. We wont talk about the drum shotugn....
i forgot about the combat in chapter 1 season 7 oor 8 idk but i miss the old map :D ´but have a good day
I think that the crafting and upgardeing mechanic would fit more into Zero Builds cuz you don't have to collect mats for a third of the game. During season 6 it effectivly turned every game into a Minecraft Hardcore PvP server.
Got this in my recommendation, while playing the new update where the heavy shotgun just got back into the game, lol
How does this only has 30k views?? I hope some streamer reacts to it and it picks up views because this video is amazingly made
Who misses the old design of the pump
Develution at its finest
Fun fact in season 15 charge shotgun buffed
Ch3 added mythic weapons and kits charge do 240
11:20 the new shotgun is just a slower version of the pump, you had to wait A TON of time before actually shooting with it because of the animation it had, the auto shotgun is a tac but with a slower reloading time
I love the drum shotty
I miss flamm. His vids were so good
Same
everyone knows the season 1 gray pump was the best, doing 90 dmg body shot
Ch2 s3 was amazing and I loved the charge so much but I had 50-60 fps
I like when it’s just the pump and tac
The shotgun meta with the chapter 2 pumps is boring because it's just you crank up to someone hit then or get hit to 150+ and then get sprayed, no other shotgun will really be successful or used with the pump in the game
I think before they add it back they should nerf it or only add back the green and blue ones
Am I the only one which misses when the combat was good and people used it
nice :D
double heavy was op, it wasn't a bad weapon unless you tried using it like a pump
bro that sypher pk clip LMAO
1:21
Bro you make awesome videos idk why ur not so popular?
My favorite shotguns are the charge and the tac.
Chapter 2 season 8 is probably my favourite meta, using the pump is so fun
You forgot to mention that the purple spas didn’t one pump anymore in ch2 s4
Chapter 5 meta: full auto go ratatata
the best part is where he says with complete honesty that everybody was dogshit in the beginning of fortnite because its true
Pump is my favourite hands down the best shotgun out of them all watching this in the uk at christmas dec the 25 merry Christmas 🎄
I love the pump shotgun and the charge shotgun
When the heavy was doing 300 hundred damage even if it was for 1 hour it was jus fun to use
I loved season 1-3 those where the best times
Imagine taking the most important and beloved weapon in your game, and just curb stomping it
This game used to be soo fun I miss it
If only people realized how OP the lever-action shotgun was
