Pump Shotgun

The Pump Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was introduced in the Pre-Season. 
==Functionality==
The Pump Shotgun is a high damage, short range and slow firing shotgun, best suited to very close quarters. It has 5 shells in the magazine and must be pumped between shots, leading a slow fire rate. It excels at close range combat with its ability to deal significant damage. At lower rarities it still does significant damage but is very punishing if you miss. The Pump Shotgun can hit targets at mid-range, but the damage drop off is so high, and the spread so great that only 1 or 2 pellets will hit. The Pump Shotgun reloads 1 shell at a time.

==Strategy Guide==
=== Usage ===
*The Pump Shotgun is a very strong shotgun in Battle Royale due to its high single-shot damage and good hip fire accuracy.
*When using the Pump Shotgun, try to utilize cover between shots. That way, you maximize damage dealt while minimizing damage taken.
**When finding cover, make sure it's in a position where opponents will come toward you on your right. This way you can see them without them seeing you.
*When using the Pump Shotgun at close ranges, make sure to aim for the head, as the headshot damage of the Pump Shotgun is very high.
**However, when nearing the limits of the Pump Shotgun's range, aiming for the upper chest is advised, to make sure you land as many pellets as possible which will maximize the damage dealt.
**If you have a second shotgun in your inventory, you can quickly change it and fire without delay.
**This was used between the pre-season and Season 5.
**It was brought back with the OG mode.
**When choosing a weapon to counter a pump shotgun, your best option is usually your own pump shotgun or another weapon with high single shot damage at close range. There are many weapons that can be effectively paired with the Pump Shotgun. For example, pairing the Pump Shotgun with a fast-firing close ranged weapon, such as an SMG, allows for an incredibly deadly close range combo. Fire the Pump Shotgun to deal high damage, then finish off the opponent with a rapid burst of fire from the SMG.
**You can pair the Pump Shotgun with other different weapon types that deal high amounts of damage in single shots at close range. For example, the Flint-Knock Pistol, Ex-Caliber Rifle, or the Epic/Legendary Hunting Rifle.
**For opponents hiding in player-built structures, especially ones made of wood, stone, or freshly-built metal, you can fire a Rocket Launcher at their structure, then fire your Pump Shotgun at them just as the rocket explodes. If it's timed correctly, you can deal 50+ damage to your opponent fairly easily.
**Selecting a weapon to counter a Pump Shotgun, usually the best option is your own Pump Shotgun or another high single shot damage, close range weapon.
**If you decide to choose a different shotgun, make sure you choose one that plays to the Pump's weaknesses.
** For example, the Drum Shotgun can counter the Pump Shotgun's poor fire rate, and the Heavy Shotgun can counter the Pump Shotgun's poor range.
*If you don't have a good single shot high damage weapon, try getting into an opponents box and spraying them with an Assault Rifle or SMG.
* As of Fortnite OG Season 1, you can carry two of this weapon, and swap to your second Pump Shotgun after shooting the first. This deals two high damage hits in a short duration. This is referred to as the Double Pump exploit/feature.

**Its Chapter 1 model was based on the American Mossberg 500 Field Gun. As evident by it's Safety Switch.
**The Chapter 1 model is shared with the Knight in Fortnite: Save the World.
*Its and model is based on the Italian SPAS-12. In real life the SPAS-12 can switch between Semi-automatic and Pump action, hence why its presence in other games may be of a different configuration. 
**This is the reason for players often referring to these rarities of Pump Shotguns as "SPAS".
**When reloading, the player does not press down the carrying hatch button on the side of SPAS-12.
**In Save the World The Browbeater uses the same model at identical rarities.
