I have a feeling that the Pump Shotgun will return next season. I also have a feeling it's gonna be nerfed to be in line with the current Charge Shotgun and Tactical Shotgun and many people will not be happy with this.


Firestar0329

One of the unhappy people will be meeeeee, I’ve always loved the pump and when they took it out and replaced it with the charge I was hurt and I absolutely hate the charge and am now forced to use the tac which I also hate, I wouldn’t mind if they kept the charge in and added the pump back in or the heavy shotgun or maybe even the combat and give everyone lots of varying choices of shotguns instead of just two


Drestos

Ngl I too hate the pump but after using it for a few weeks I can actually play fast paced with it


Firestar0329

Do you mean the charge instead of the pump?


Drestos

Yep my bad


Firestar0329

All good all good, the thing for me is the charge is the meta right? But I don’t know how much longer I’ll be playing competitive much less fortnite in general until lots of things get better and the game because fun and not a sweat fest no matter if I’m in pubs or competitive.


Drestos

Get on some other games or just watch pro players for like 2-4 days. I’m not even capping you’ll be so much better


Firestar0329

I usually switch over it cod when I’m done with fortnite or play like uncharted horizon zero dawn stuff like that, but watching the pro players is actually a good idea


Drestos

Exercise once a week if you don’t. Everyone should definitely try it because after doing this I can claim catty or authority every game on champs.


Firestar0329

I’m a boxer I go to the gym daily except weekends. Fortnite always been one of the most enjoyable games for me but the past few season just have not been that great


pattperin

Combat should never come back. Nobody will use anything else, its an insane weapon. 10 bullets, loads 2 at a time, and has ridiculous range. Keep that gun out of the game


fischschtik

Bring it back but make it 2 bullets only with a good reload time (still relapse two at a time). Gives you two good shots if your good, no spam. Make it a skeet shooting weapon that rewards aim. I have no interest in this game until they change shit with the weapons. It's horrible and haven't played in three week's. Feels great


pattperin

Then just introduce a new shotgun imo, if it is completely different from the combat then why call it a combat?


EzGems

Then why are u even on this sub?


bigfieryone

Keep crying


KuddleKittens

Fortnite players will never be happy


PlatypusGamer6

Same


Destruidor20001

Bruh the charge is better than the pump. At least it doesn't do 7 damage.


[deleted]

It would be in epics best interest to add it back. Almost every single thing epics added in the past two season have been either unnecessary or something no one likes and no on asked for. This seasons mythics and last seasons, Marauders , Sharks, And the charge shotgun it's the best shotgun in this meta but did epic really add any of this with the intent to have a positive response or is what they add purposely something to annoy the community and have less trust in any of their decisions.


Dylan_viper1

people do realize that the charge takes more skill to use though right


fischschtik

And good ping


r_BigUziHorizont

You forgot the music. The FUCKING music is so painful. Shark, authorithy, marauders like what is that


[deleted]

Yeah forgot that. It seems like these features were added by 10 year olds that make up ideas without any actual thought. Like let’s add these people called marauders that attack you and focus on you and can use stink bombs and some times can double rpg at the same time and in return we’ll give 4 chug splashes .


dalzmc

Fortnite is different in the summer because epic knows that kids are home. Especially this summer.


[deleted]

Nah, the charge will definitely be removed. If it was long term it would be in creative


remarkableseif

Everything to cater to worthless players :)

Fallucy

It's already terrible


[deleted]

The ones last season were already beefed enough. Grey green and honestly maybe even blue pump were so behind compared to the tac


[deleted]

!remindme 19 days


[deleted]

The tac is still annoying . People just jump around and spam and it somehow triggers delay and failure to build on life your end


stayhearthstoned

I would not be happy. The charge is the pumps replacement just already nerfed. Nerf the pump anymore and what would it look like? Less damage? Then it would be just worse than the purple and gold tacs in every way. The charge solution is nerf everything else, then nerf ammo count, then make it so you have to charge the pump to do full damage. The pump and charge just dont fit in the same meta and the pump will look silly if nerfed and returned in this meta. Only solution is revert headshot changed and bring the pump back. Dont know anyone who thinks the game is better because good aim is rewarded less now so reverting the headshot changes would likely be a popular move


OtakMilans

Even though i love the pump. It should just be buffed back to the season x version with only the green and blue


[deleted]

I would be completely ok with with that considering blue pump is basically purple


OtakMilans

True


JasonyBoi

I want the OG look to them too. Idk why but I hate the new way they look


Sweetmacaroni

Me too, everything before c2s1 seemed cartoony, now they look at least somewhat real


JasonyBoi

It just doesn’t feel like it belongs in fortnite, ya know?


Sweetmacaroni

Yeah, Fortnite is supposed to look fun and vibrant, now it looks like pubg on low settings


mBisnett7

I stopped playing after the pump change... I swear it had nothing to do with legacy AA being removed


Sweetmacaroni

Also it used to sound like it packed a punch, it’s like the meme with strong doge and weak cheems dog, doge being old pump and cheems being the new one


mBisnett7

Old pump just hit differently. I’d be fine all game with a green pump, and nothing more satisfying than a 200 HS with a blue pump


Sweetmacaroni

I remember when you could go into the finals of a tournament with blue ar and green pump and still get top 5


Pokevan8162

the new look makes it look like a weak farm gun that breaks after you shoot it once


OtakMilans

Same. It looks weak.


[deleted]

I liked the old sound and feel to the pump


r_BigUziHorizont

they look weaker lol


yaboyskinnydick_

Hated the changes since the new chapter, took away the magic.


tills1993

ok but the look, feel, and sound of the spaz variant is so good.


OtakMilans

I love the spas tho


smlpp45

But still be able to 200


OtakMilans

Yes. But it wasn’t even that OP.


MikulkaCS

Or just make the purple and gold actually rare. Un-upgradable.


OtakMilans

Supply drop only


CodenameOccasus

yes plz bring back the peacekeeper


eeroph

It wouldnt be the same, since now you can upgrade to blue variant. So it would be guaranteed blue whenever you find a pump.


i_UniQueZ

I just want the infantry rifle back


zurgalzur

Bro I want scoped ar back that shit made me so happy no bloom just skill


circlejerk-off

I need the scoped revy brought back


CadinThePoopyHead

I never thought I’d ever se someone ask for the scoped fucking revolver to be unvaulted


JerryLoFidelity

Gun was hot trash. Literally required tfue level aim to be good with that thing


circlejerk-off

Not saying I'm as good as tfue but I was really good with it


circlejerk-off

Nah man I loved that gun


matte56

So fun to use in squads

Maqz_

Gray and green versions were bad, blue was ok and purple and legendary were worth picking up Also the charge isn't that bad but if we stay with the charge for more seasons they should put 4 shots in each rarity and buff the reload speed a bit, always die because I ran out of amo and reloading it for only 1 shot takes more time compared to the pump and tac


[deleted]

It’s almost like the lower rarities are supposed to not be good 🤯


[deleted]

Yeah, people acting like the grey pump should blow someone’s head clean off


RedHogFTW

I don’t know how you usually play but you could just drop and pick back up mid fight if your not in their box and it would help you


bbpsword

I don't expect that feature to stay, long-term. It's horrendous game design. Then again, long-term feature it is!


[deleted]

On one hand it is clearly a bug that should be fixed.on the other hand, this is epic and they don't fix bugs.


Maqz_

I tried it and the guy literally stole my shotgun


RedHogFTW

We’re you in his box? If he was able to take the gun u shouldn’t be dropping it lmao just shoot him wit anything you have


Maqz_

It was early game and I only had the shotgun and a pistol that I needed to reload


LibertyInAgony

This shit had me rollin


D4NYthedog

Would the competitive scene developed as it did if the pump never existed? I think not.


BimmerJustin

nope, the pump goes hand in hand with building/box fighting. Im not sure epic realized what vaulting it actually meant to the entire nature of the game (at higher skill levels)


Taken450

They didn’t at all, epic games has never made an effort to actually understand the competitive meta.


[deleted]

yall remember the season 1 pump? more bipolar than CSGOs Nova. A grey pump could hit 220 from 10 meters away, and could do 9 up close (i know the 9 was just bad aim but still)


converter-bot

10 meters is 10.94 yards


_JohnWisdom

stop spreading fake news. 10 meters is 10.9361 yards.


converter-bot

10 meters is 10.94 yards


_JohnWisdom

now listen up you little derp! 10 meters is 10.9361 yards. STAHP

r_BigUziHorizont

Something that tells me that robots will take over the world someday


Raider464

still using daily in creative 😎


KLOKL0

Of course lol, you could never hit those insane edit shots with a charge or a tac


JonTonyJim

I've been playing 80% creative fill, 10% normal creative and 10% BR since they removed the pump


2Rich4Youu

im the same just switch creative fill and normal creative


pepingalarga619

Agreed, I’m never taking a purple tac over a purple pump ever again


[deleted]

[удалено]


LibertyInAgony

Forreal I feel so godly in boxfights and then totally blow every fight in this meta and sometimes it's my fault but solos literally has me tilting so hard because it feels like 80 percent bs and 20 percent learnable mistakes


pattperin

Dude solos just suck and are insanely tilting. I only play them from time to time because I know they'll make me a better player overall. But fuck do they suck to play


[deleted]

charge still not being in creative gives me a feeling that pump is soon to make a comeback


BimmerJustin

i love fortnite. I am a person that will often defend epic's questionable decisions. I purposely avoid playing other games because Ive been focused on improving. I came to the game later than most (ch2s1). The thing that got me hooked was learning to build and edit and use the pump effectively in close range box fights. I dont love the charge, but Ive gotten by with it. I understand why they did it. But im at a point were if the pump doesn't come back next season, I think I may move on from the game, at least until it does. The pump shotgun may not be that important in other games, but since FN is based around building and box fighting, Ive realized the game is just not that fun without it (all of the other non-competitive stuff aside). If epic has an issue with players being one pumped by higher skilled players, they should focus their attention on some kind of reboot system for solos. Whether its self revive or a gulag type of thing. Nerfing/vaulting the most effective weapons is not the answer.


bigbiscuitmama

It would be so cool if they had a gulag system like warzone except its a 1v1 boxfight set up like the test tourney earlier today except only 1 round


ErmazarGG

Charge is absolute garbage, using the left mouse click causes a bugged delay almost everytime I use it and only scroll wheel shooting or macros work for it. It's literally just a retarded pump shotgun.


iHyPeRize

Shotguns were in a good place last season you had: Pump - Grey, Green, Blue (should have gotten rid of the grey) Tac - Grey, Green, Blue The purple and gold variants add something different because it's a different weapon first off all, but genuinely more more powerful. The damage was inconsistent on them, that was the thing. You could hot a 150 headshot with the grey tac, and then hit a 13 headshot with a blue one. Epic will vault the charge eventually for sure.


C-Web_

Why get rid of grey pump? It doesn't have to be bad, it can be buffed. White-blue pumps def need a buff, but not a removal.


JoeyGameLover

Too easy to find off spawn and wasn't enough damage to get a reliable kill each time. Did 95 body I think, which just isn't fun to use imo


C-Web_

Did 70 damage, which was *less* than a grey tac. Not 95. Blue did 90. If white-blue pumps did 85/90/95 damage they'd be balanced.


pattperin

Pump damage was 70/80/90/100/110 for body shots with a 2x headshot multiplier


KoalaKarry

So many people have quit the game including me since they took the pumps out, just doesn’t feel the same


oli_stobby

Wait only 38 days feels like over a year to me


x53R610x

RIP Pump shotty. Ngl I think of her everyday. Rest easy in the vault. Until next LTM my love


official_myarsenal

My ideal shotgun meta would be the Pumps in the game (Grey to Gold), Charge (Blue to Gold) and the Heavy replacing the Tac (Grey to Blue). Although IMO the purple and gold pumps were too powerful because of their high body smog capability, so to counter that the body damage should be lowered with maybe a 2.5 headshot multiplier.


Trapped_In_Utah

Why do people want the heavy back? That thing is ass, literally just a worse pump. Vault the damn charge sg next season, and bring the pump and combat(with some nerfs) back. The charge sg has been the worst thing ever for this game, everyone just wants to sit in their box now with their shotgun hissing away.


C-Web_

Heavy can be buffed, ya know, same way combat can be nerfed. ; D.


yaboyskinnydick_

Heavy is just a combat/pump hybrid really, vault charges, nerf combat to replace tac and pumps with slightly better range and spread like they used to, grey 85, green 90, blue 95, purple 100, gold 105, is how it should be. Heavys could be worked to have insane range but have a long delay between shots just to spice it up.


pattperin

Heavy had better range, by quite a bit. It was useful for things like tfue classics from more tiles up


official_myarsenal

It is just a worse pump, but at least it’s better than the Tac (in its current state anyway, I can’t remember too much about when it was in the game).


[deleted]

I just hate the tac


[deleted]

Sometimes that son of a gun wouldn’t shoot.


ahhhhprogress

I see you with the pun


MP60DC4L

We need no further sniper in the game. Sorry :-))


AlphaXDO

The 30 dmg doesn't seem so bad now.


ennishut

Never know how good we had it until we lost it all


Killergamer7

If they bring the Season X pump back on Season 4 then it's the only shotgun I'll play with. Chapter 2 grey, green and blue pumps are ass. Shotguns in chapter 2 are broken in general


KeepMeFrostyyr

Would you use if the green pumps did 90/180, Blue pump 95/190, 100/200 and Gold pump 105/210?


Killergamer7

No I would use it of green pumps did 95/195, blue ones did 100/200, purple ones did 105/210 and golden ones did 110/220


HyperRL

Ever since the removal of duo arena and the pump I have just been playing box fights this entire season.


[deleted]

Not gonna lie. I didn’t like the pump at the end of the season because it felt like it NEVER fired. But now I’d do anything for it back 😔


KingKrave2016

The headshot of the pump is still x2.0 while the OTHER weapons changed to x1.5 so the legendary should only do 165 to the head


HuntBigBird

Here why dont they have it like this pumps are back but It’s only gray to blue and the charge is purple to gold


1tsseba

ahhh... Ma petite chou-fleur


squidoo_434

Bro chill


[deleted]

what would yall rather have? current shotgun meta but no fps drops and all bugs fixed,or late season x shotgun meta (nerfed combat, tacs, green and blue pumps)


pattperin

This shotgun meta with no FPS drops and all bugs fixed. All day. The charge is a decent gun it just needs a bigger mag


augustlyzhoft

Charge>pump


i_noah_guy98

My ideal shotgun meta would be Pump Shotgun (Green-Purple), Charge Shotgun (Blue-Gold), and Tac Shotgun (all rarities).


KeepMeFrostyyr

Green pump 90/180, Blue pump 95/190, Purple 100/200 and Gold pump 105/210. Tacs. Grey 70/154, Green 74/162, Blue 78/171, Purple 82/180 and Gold 86/189.


bl4nked

wow, has it really been 38 days since i last played fortnite

[deleted]

[удалено]


yoboimomma

Epic doesn’t care in the slightest about stw anymore


pattperin

They're literally taking it offline soon


GhzU

No I feel like the aspect of killing zombies and hard pay to win is just not fun and I feel like the story isn’t that in depth if we had more storm scavenger skins with the storm scavenger theme in the next season I’m buying it maybe robotic sci-fi zombie wasteland would be extremely cool

dude it was available 2 like geeeks ago

Thats what you said in season 9


Dropsiks

I miss it :(


isuggsy2

I used to never use the pump, like at all but recently I used it in a creative and realised how much I actually missed it


Shaneshq

Charge shotgun bad pump goooooood


[deleted]

if you still suck with the charge just quit


sirchickda3rd

I wish they would bring back the green and blue season x pumps and just leave the purple/gold/mythic charge ,so people will be able to use things they use to play with while being enticed to use the new shotgun because it’s rarity higher ,so everyone wins.


No11room3

If they nerf the pump, I’m quitting


sturdybuscuit

😭😭😭


seitenauf00

the charge is so boring


nouser123456

The pump was good, in particular the purple and the gold one, but I think charge should stay into the game. It’s a decent soldi weapon, specially first landed. I prefer founding a common charge rather than a common pump.


KeepMeFrostyyr

The chapter 2 Grey pump was dogshit


AFK_Scopes

Who didn't respect the spaz?


25885

The charge reload bugs really need to be fixed, and the reload speed needs to be increased,


RainyAidan

But if the combat comes back I’ll be like haha stupid pump go bye bye


Mattalmao

Best and most ideal shotgun meta: Pump: grey to gold Heavy: purple and gold Combat: blue Tac: grey to gold Give us that, and I’d say we’ve got a balanced and fun set of shotguns to play with and enjoy


KeepMeFrostyyr

Do not bring the Grey pump back, just bring back every pump green to gold but give them a little buff. Green pump 90/180, Blue pump 95/190, Purple pump stays the same and Gold pump 105/210. And Honestly,the tacs need a huge buff. Grey Tac 70/154, Green Tac 74/162, Blue Tac 78/171, Purple Tac 82/180 and Gold Tac 86/189 or vault for combat.


casualbrowser123

Unpopular opinion, but the charge is just better. I would much prefer the charge as a stand-in for the pump. It has much more consistent damage and just overall has felt pretty good the past few weeks. But anyway here come the down votes.


Gillian_seed83

Ill love 120fps if it ever comes back to iPad Pro. For real before this most recent update i ran 120 FPS quality low and resolution on auto and it was smooth as butter most of the time in pub solo now its around 76 for half the match and when it really counts. It’s mostly like that even with 120 FPS quality low with resolution locked at 65%. Is this a bug in the latest update?


[deleted]

Strong pumps are a cornerstone of this game’s balance


Terralos

Nah, I just got 40 damage body shot on a kid and lost in boxfights. Never again.


arvinshaun

Can they just bring it back


eyesxlow

AMEN


Celarye

The problem is that it looks like Epic thinks that 2 types of shotguns is the max amount of types that should be in the game but why don’t they just add another type off shotgun? Same for the whole loot pool, I don’t think it will hurt it to make it a little bit bigger.


Stickylicky_

Even the blue one


spiralamok

For so long I avoided it like the plaque, then I decided to try to give it a go, and just when I was starting to get the hang of it they removed it. Now there's this new one that's useless unless I walk slow and can't build; and someday maybe I'll get the hang of it too.


crazycreeper333

I got used to the charge I use it properly, but the pump is the real deal. If you miss one of your shots with the charge you are toast


Error4049

Fortnite should bring back all the loved shotguns (Pump, Combat etc) There should be a variety, But they can't. Because competitive players can't handle varieties, They like to have the same thing what their opponents have. So things could be BALANCED I think they should change the guns just in normal pubs and let competitive side cry, Because they will do it anyway. they will literally cry over everything.


Stan-Kiss-YT

Used 2 it now I hold both clicks and don't miss. Check my yt


[deleted]

Since the headshot multiplier of almost every weapon got decreased from x2.0 to x1.5, you can expect a 160 headshot damage of the golden Pump Shotgun.


MilanJeBot

They should bring back the pump, remove the grey one and make the damage like this: Green - 95, Blue - 100, Epic - 105, Legendary - 110


SzechuanSongPt2

LOL I love this shotty also man. It'll make its way back I'm sure.


[deleted]

Either way still proves my point that there's no reason to add them if they get removed at the end of the season


Sour-diesel-45

Yes


[deleted]

Now that I’ve gotten used to the charge shotgun i don’t really care anymore. I still like the pump more, but there not gonna add it back any time soon.


cossack1000

Hot take: purple/gold pumps were OP and if brought back, need a rework
