Fortnite leak suggests Pump Shotgun is returning, but not as players remember Epic GamesFortnite\u2019s Pump Shotgun is reportedly returning to action, though it\u2019ll have a new name and capabilities that may seem unfamiliar to longtime players. Epic Games added Pump Shotguns to the roster of weapons during the battle royale\u2019s first chapter. To the dismay of players, however, this particular Fortnite gun has been vaulted for a long time. Many had their fingers crossed that Chapter 4 Season 1 would herald the Pump Shotgun\u2019s eagerly-awaited resurgence. Evidently, such a move simply wasn\u2019t in the cards for Seasons 1 and 2. It looks like fans may finally get their wish in the coming days, though. According to leaks, the Pump Shotgun will return to action very soon \u2013 but there\u2019s a twist. Is the Pump Shotgun coming back to Fortnite? Leakers HYPEX and FNAssist claim that a Pump Shotgun has been added to the battle royale, though it won\u2019t actually be released until Epic rolls out an unspecified future update. Interestingly, it will not arrive as the classic Pump Shotgun, instead bearing the name Sharp Tooth Shotgun. HYPEX claims the Sharp Tooth will boast a tighter spread, long-range capabilities, and about 160 Headshot Damage at Legendary Rarity. Information shared by FNAssist indicates it may actually output 196 damage at Legendary Rarity \u2013 all should be made clear soon enough. This may sound like a solid long-range weapon, but those who prefer close-quarters combat may still want to rely on Fortnite\u2019s Havoc Pump Shotgun. While players wait on the supposedly revamped Pump Shotgun, Fortnite\u2019s latest update added another new firearm to the loot pool. Update v25.11 introduced the Heavy Sniper Rifle\u2019s replacement \u2013 Explosive Repater Rifle. As the name suggests, it fires explosive projectiles that should prove devastating for unsuspecting targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
