New Fortnite hotfix adds Pump Shotgun replacement & vaults Kinetic Boomerang Epic GamesFortnite hotfix v25.11 has officially introduced the Pump Shotgun\u2019s replacement and vaulted the Kinetic Boomerang. Leaked details from earlier this week suggested the Pump Shotgun would return to Fortnite with a catch. According to the leak, instead of functioning as players remembered, the classic weapon would resurface with a tighter spread and long-range capabilities. The other topic of interest \u2013 the Kinetic Boomerang \u2013 is a different matter entirely. This particular weapon joined the loot pool in Chapter 4 Season 3, serving as a solid utility weapon for mid-range attacks. Interestingly, Fortnite\u2019s newest hotfix has changed the game for both; and players are already voicing their disappointment. Epic vaults Kinetic Boomerang in newest Fortnite hotfix HYPEX and iFireMonkey report that Fortnite v25.11 has issued changes centered around a few fan-favorite weapons. For one, the Pump Shotgun returns under a new name \u2013 Sharp Tooth Shotgun. As previously leaked, this overhauled version of the gun can fire long-range, boasts a tighter spread, and deals damage at Legendary Rarity. The patch also removed the Kinetic Boomerang, and it\u2019s not clear if the weapon will resurface anytime soon. According to another post from HYPEX, Epic vaulted the Boomerang \u201cdue to an issue with players losing control when rebooted.\u201d Regarding the Sharp Tooth Shotgun, some fans aren\u2019t too pleased with the changes to the original Pump. One Twitter user wrote, \u201cTight spread? So they\u2019ve ruined it to be another sniper shotgun like the Heavy?\u201d Meanwhile, many are surprised that the Kinetic Boomerang is already out despite a recent Fortnite update buffing it. \u201cDidn\u2019t they JUST buff the boomerang like 2 days ago?\u201d a user asked under the iFireMonkey tweet. \u201cSo basically anything kinetic gets vaulted,\u201d another person said in reference to the Kinetic Blade\u2019s removal in May. It would seem some things on Fortnite Island simply aren\u2019t meant to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
