It\u2019s not Fortnite without rotating weapons and items throughout the chapter and season. Knowing how a weapon won\u2019t stay forever can truly push players to enjoy it while it\u2019s still around. That said, out of all the weapons in the current season, the Hammer Pump Shotgun is one that\u2019s leaving the community split regarding its viability. In a Reddit thread titled \u201cWhy is this thing still in the game?\u201d, some players are convinced it\u2019s \u201cworthless\u201d and only around \u201cto make you suffer.\u201d Following this take, one user commented: \u201cI wonder that, too, literally outclassed by a built-in double pump shotgun.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s good for headshots if you\u2019re confident. Genuinely, that\u2019s it\u2026 I\u2019ve lost so many fights because of misplacing my confidence with this thing,\u201d mentioned another. Another user begged Epic to buff the damage of this weapon, saying they \u201creally, really wish it was good\u201d because \u201cwe haven\u2019t had a good pump meta since OG.\u201d However, despite some players slamming this shotgun, a portion of the comments argued that it\u2019s still a powerful weapon when used right. \u201cThis shotgun is god tier and I\u2019m sick of pretending it\u2019s not. Legit my favorite shotgun in the game, and people never see a 120+ damage body shot coming until they\u2019ve taken it to the chest or face,\u201d commented one user. Meanwhile, another claimed that it \u201creally suits\u201d their playstyle of quickly peeking, dealing high damage, and using the SMG to finish the enemy off. At the same time, others mentioned that while this may not be great in Zero Build, you can safely get an advantage with Build mode by popping a shot after editing a window before finishing them off with an SMG or going back to editing. With Fortnite known to roll out hotfixes, there\u2019s always a chance the weapons in the game may receive tweaks and balance changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite weapon causes debate on whether it exists to make players \u201csuffer\u201d This one particular weapon in Fortnite has left the community divided on whether or not it\u2019s viable in the current season.
