NICKMERCS explains why Fortnite\u2019s Tac Shotgun is \u201cunderrated\u201d L: NICKMERCS R: Epic GamesTwitch star Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff thinks players might be underestimating the power of the Tactical Shotgun in Fortnite. In Fortnite Chapter 2, players are now back to having two types of shotguns after previously having several different options. The strongest one is still the Pump Shotgun, and one that many players gravitate towards, but that doesn\u2019t mean the Tactical is a gun players should ignore. For starters, the Tac is far more forgiving than the Pump since players can miss a few shots while still keeping the edge over their enemy. The latter requires you to be accurate with your shots as it shoots a lot slower, and if you aren\u2019t able to take out your opponent with the first hit, the fight could quickly go south. Nick actually says the Tac is underrated and thinks players should start using it more often, citing one specific reason. In a YouTube video uploaded on January 24, the Fortnite content creator says something people might not know about this gun is its superior range. \u201cThe purple and gold Tac are really underrated,\u201d he says. \u201cThe damage is cool but the one thing a lot of people don\u2019t talk about is the f**king range, bro. The range of the shotguns is pretty crazy.\u201d (Timestamp 2:47) While you won\u2019t be hitting for extremely high numbers from range, the Tac will perform better than the Pump does from the same distance. If you\u2019re somebody who doesn\u2019t like getting up close and personal with your enemy, this might be the shotgun you\u2019ll prioritize going forward. Another thing he mentions he likes about the gun is the ability to perform \u201cjump shots\u201d on people with high ground. The quick-firing ability allows you to take away a large chunk of health from an enemy before they even realize what\u2019s happening. In his ranking of the Chapter 2 shotguns, NICKMERCS ranked the Tacs high, with only the Gold and Purple Pumps sitting above them. Amusingly enough, he ranked the Grey one lower than a pickaxe, showing how much he really hates that gun. He\u2019s been preaching to his audience about the importance of using the Tac, so hopefully, this will be what it takes to finally get his viewers to convert from the Pump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
