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 Chaos Reloader Shotgun is very similar in use to the CA-87 Jawa Scatter Blaster, being a shotgun with one very high damage body shot, and a lower headshot multiplier. Because of this, headshots aren't exactly the most rewarding with this weapon, as body shots will get the job done.
  • The main feature of the Chaos Reloader Shotgun is that it can reload itself when unequipped, allowing you to switch to a secondary after firing. This makes the weapon much more forgiving, especially if you miss that single shot.
  • One nice advantage the Chaos Reloader Shotgun has is that it has a very accurate pellet spread, even when hipfired, so while it may be unforgiving if you miss the shot, it's not often you will.

Counters[]

  • The Chaos Reloader Shotgun, as mentioned, only has one shot, and headshots aren't too rewarding. Shotguns that are more powerful with headshots or have larger magazines, such as the Iron Pump Shotgun, can be more forgiving, and give an advantage when against an opponent wielding the Chaos Reloader Shotgun.
