Ninja reveals Fortnite\u2019s most \u201cuseless\u201d gun and why it should be vaulted Superstar streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has had it with the gray Common Pump Shotgun in Fortnite Battle Royale, angrily calling for developers Epic Games to remove the \u201cuseless\u201d weapon. As with most shooter games, the pool of weapons available in Fortnite has always been the topic of hotly-contested debates among the player-base. However, interestingly enough, the players have nearly-unanimously agreed that the worst weapon to use so far in Chapter 2 has been the Common-rarity Pump Shotgun, commonly referred to as the \u2018gray Pump.\u2019 It is the weakest version of the Pump available in-game, and the maximum of 70 non-headshot damage that it delivers is, in fact, the lowest out of all of the shotguns, including the gray Tac. Ninja demonstrates why the gray Pump is \u201cuseless\u201d In one of his recent streams, Ninja was forced to use the gray Pump in a gunfight, which, of course, ended up with him getting eliminated. That sparked what ended up becoming a full-on fire of rage from the Mixer star, who wants to see the weapon gone from the game as soon as possible. \u2018Get rid of the gray Pump man, it\u2019s the most useless gun in the game!\u201d he yelled. \u201cWhy?! Why give someone the sh*ttiest and most random gun in the game?! Why even have it?! It\u2019s so bad, no one uses it!\u201d \u201cThe gray Pump is the worst gun in the game, give me a gray Pistol instead, no cap! And I hate the gray Pistol! From the developers\u2019 standpoint, I don\u2019t understand it. Why put something so useless in the game just so you \u2018have a starting weapon.\u2019 Just give us Assault Rifles!\u201d He and fellow star streamer SypherPK analyzed how the weapon compares to the other Common guns in the game, and concluded it\u2019s considerably weaker. \u201cYou just have to compare it to the other gray weapons and it doesn\u2019t match up,\u201d Sypher explained. \u201cThe gray SMG is not bad, the gray AR, you can do work with it. The gray Pump, it\u2019s not even close.\u201d \u201cYou have to be literally kissing the person\u2019s internal organs with that gun to do more than 100 damage with it,\u201d Ninja added. (Segment begins at 0:24 mark for mobile users) As of now, there is no indication that Epic Games have any plans to adjust and\/or remove the Common Pump Shotgun from Fortnite One of the reasons why they might not is to maintain symmetry within the weapon pool, since every type of gun in the game has five distinct variants and rarity-levels and the Pump would be the only one that wouldn\u2019t if the lower version got removed. That said, there\u2019s only about a month left until the conclusion of Chapter 2: Season 1, so Epic could look into making such tweaks once Season 2 rolls along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
