The Hammer Pump Shotgun counted among the most-hated weapons in the Chapter 5 Season 1 loot pool. Despite being an automatic, its slow fire rate made it quite weak in the grand scheme of things. As such, Fortnite players assumed Epic would vault the gun ahead of Season 2\u2019s arrival. This particular short-range weapon remains in the loot pool, though, and users aren\u2019t happy about it. It should come as no surprise, then, that the community has already selected the worst gun of the newest season. Fortnite players slam Chapter 5 Season 2\u2019s \u201cworst\u201d weapon A meme that pokes fun at the Hammer Pump Shotgun is making the rounds in the Fortnite subreddit. Funnily enough, the meme argues that players won\u2019t use the gun even if it\u2019s the first one they find when landing. This line of thinking even applies to fully-modded, Legendary Hammer Pumps. With well over 1,000 upvotes, it seems the community agrees that this shotgun deserves the title of \u201cworst weapon in the game.\u201d Numerous Fortnite veterans chimed in with their thoughts on the much-disliked Season 2 weapon. One user didn\u2019t hold back in their critique, writing, \u201cPump shotgun is literal dogsh**. As bad as that launcher from last season which no one used in endgame lol.\u201d Someone else said they\u2019d even accept a common Frenzy Auto Shotgun \u2013 another gun that much of the community can\u2019t get behind. \u201cI\u2019d take a grey frenzy or the new one over that.\u201d Another Redditor joined the chorus with, \u201cThe only way I\u2019m picking that weapon up is if I go to a poi that I know will be filled other people.\u201d Though people have been down on it for months, the Hammer Pump Shotgun does have its share of defenders. A few users in the thread said those who don\u2019t like it have a \u201cskill issue.\u201d Others argued it\u2019s a good weapon to have equipped in Build mode, even if only to \u201cpiece control your opponents.\u201d It\u2019ll be interesting to see if this particular Pump Shotgun returns once more with Chapter 5 Season 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players refuse to use \u201cworst\u201d weapon in Chapter 5 Season 2 Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 5 Season 2\u2019s have called out a shotgun that they believe is the \u201cworst weapon\u201d in the whole game.
