Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Modular Hammer Pump Shotgun is best paired with a fast-firing secondary, such as the Modular Hyper SMG, where you would fire a powerful shot with the Modular Hammer Pump Shotgun, then switch to your secondary to finish your opponent.
  • The Modular Hammer Pump Shotgun benefits greatly from the Speed Mag Speed Mag, as it has a slow reload time.
  • The Modular Hammer Pump Shotgun also has the very subtle strength of having one of the fastest deploy speeds of any shotgun in the game, allowing it to beat many other shotguns to the punch. It also matches the Havoc Pump Shotgun in headshot damage in Legendary rarity.

Counters[]

  • Due to its slow fire rate and tight spread, the Modular Hammer Pump Shotgun can be very punishing. When engaging an opponent who is wielding a Modular Hammer Pump Shotgun, having a high fire rate SMG or a Shotgun with a more forgiving spread can be beneficial.
