Auto Shotgun

The Auto Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 3: Season 1.
==Functionality==
The Auto Shotgun is a fast firing, medium damage shotgun. It is deadly at close range with a tight spread and is very weak at medium to long ranges. It reloads very slowly to compensate for its fast fire.
==Stats==
Auto Shotgun uses has a Headshot Multiplier of 1.75x and a Max Damage Cap of 125/130/135/140/145/145. 
The Auto Shotgun reloads 2 shells at a time, and its reload time statistic is how long it takes for a zero ammo reload to a full magazine. 
The Auto Shotgun is a hitscan weapon, but fires a spread of 12 pellets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets.

==Strategy Guide==
* The Auto Shotgun is a great weapon for beginners, as it has a high fire rate in comparison to most shotguns, has a wide pellet spread, and deals high damage at very close ranges.
* The Auto Shotgun has high damage fall-off, meaning it will often be out-ranged by other shotguns. Its best to get as close to an opponent as possible while using the Auto Shotgun.
** That being said, the Auto Shotgun is also excelent for frequently peeking out from behind cover, as its high fire rate means you can deal chip damage quickly where other shotguns would struggle to do so.
*The Auto Shotgun is an excellent weapon in Zero Build playlists due to its fast damage output, but struggles in building playlists due to a longer pull-out time, very wide spread, and lack of range. In building playlists, it's more advisable to use a shotgun more similar to a Pump Shotgun or Thunder Shotgun.
