Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 1 is officially here, which means lots of new items–from skins to weapons–along with even some mechanic changes. There’s also a brand new map and lots to work through in the Battle Pass for those who endeavor to collect ’em all. One of the most asked questions we’ve seen is from players wondering if pumps are back in Fortnite Chapter 4! Well…

Are Pump Shotguns Back in Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 1?

Unfortunately, if you’re a long-time fan of the pump shotgun, we have to disappoint you by letting you know that it is NOT part of the unvaulted weapons for season 1.

That being said, one of the new weapons for Fortnite Chapter 4 is the Thunder Shotgun, which high-level players have discovered is capable of doing 195 headshot damage (for legendary rarity). Not quite a one-shot kill but very close!

Ultimately, the reason players love pump shotguns is for their heavy firepower dealt in a single shot, so while the Thunder Shotgun isn’t a one-shot killing machine, it is a nice alternative given what is available in Chapter 4, Season 1! Let us know how you like the newest shotgun in the comments.

That’s all for whether pumps are back in Fortnite Chapter 4! You can find more coverage of the game in the Fortnite section of our website.
