Fortnite: First footage of the Epic Legendary Pump Shotguns in action shows just how powerful they will be The most exciting aspect of Fortnite\u2019s v6.31 update was the introduction of the new Pump Shotgun variants, and now we can show you them in action. The introduction of the new Epic and Legendary Pump Shotguns on November 27 is part of Epic\u2019s attempt to make shotguns in general a more viable and predictable class of weapons for all players. The Epic variant will deal 105 maximum damage, while the Legendary will 110. Both will be available from floor loot, chests, Supply Drops, and Vending Machines. Now, thanks to \u2018Ultrabluex\u2019 on Reddit, we have footage of what the Epic variant is capable of doing \u2013 and it\u2019s pretty damn impressive! The player uploaded a video of themselves taking down opponents with single shots, but neither shot did 200 damage or more, so we couldn\u2019t check for sure whether it would have one shot potential against full shields: The Legendary version definitely does kill in one shot, though, as \u2018Lagproz TheForth\u2019 showed on YouTube with this 220 damage headshot: One thing we know for sure is that we can\u2019t wait to get out hands on the Legendary variant of the new weapon and see what it is capable of at range. The new Pump Shotgun variants aren\u2019t the only thing to get excited about if you\u2019re a shotgun lover, though, as the patch notes confirmed that all shotguns will now deal a minimum of three pellet\u2019s worth of damage for any two or one pellet hit \u2013 making them more predictable, especially at range. The older variants of the Pump Shotgun also got some love, with the maximum damage increased from 80 \/ 85 to 96 \/ 100 for the Uncommon and Common versions. It will be interesting to see whether these changes to shotguns will result in a return to the shotgun meta in the long run, and even more interesting to see how popular that return is with the community if it occurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
