Fortnite players baffled by Hammer Pump Shotgun\u2019s return in Chapter 5 Season 2 Epic GamesThe latest season of Fortnite sees the return of the Hammer Pump Shotgun, yet fans are wondering why it\u2019s back when the newer additions outclass it in every way. After an extended downtime on launch, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is in full swing, introducing a new Greek mythology theme to Epic Games\u2019 title. As veterans of the series know, each new season sees the addition of new items to conquer the opposition and secure the coveted victory royale. While the new Mythic items have certainly been a highlight, the addition of a new shotgun is raising questions as to why a returning shotgun is still in the game. Fortnite players meme Hammer Pump Shotgun\u2019s use In a post shared to the Fortnite subreddit, one player raised the debate in question, wondering why the Hammer Pump Shotgun returned in Chapter 5 Season 2. \u201cThe new shotgun is the same thing but just shoots faster and has a bigger spread,\u201d they said about the Gatekeeper Shotgun, Chapter 5 Season 2\u2019s newest addition to the weapon pool. Of course, the replies were pretty much to be expected from the community. \u201cTo have something to complain about when you land and \u201ccan only find a trash pump,\u201d one player shared. Another replied: \u201cIt\u2019s there to disappoint you every time you open a chest.\u201d However, one reply highlighted its return is to commemorate Fortnite\u2019s Chapter 5 Season 1 hero, Peter Griffin. That said, a few comments mentioned its use is solely for Build Mode, meaning if you run Zero Build, you\u2019ll find it nearly useless. Epic Games\u2019 is active in constantly updating Fortnite throughout seasons, so there may be a chance this one gets revisited sometime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
