The Combat Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Chapter 4: Season OG.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Combat Shotgun is a longer ranged shotgun, with a fast fire rate. It is designed for longer ranged engagements than other shotguns, with its maximum damage taking longer to fall-off. As such, the weapon also has a tight spread. The Combat Shotgun reloads 2 shells at a time, and its reload time statistic is how long it takes for a zero ammo reload to a full magazine.

Combat Shotgun is a Hitscan weapon that fires a spread of 10 pellets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets..

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 Combat Shotgun can be quite effective at mid-range due to its tight pellet spread.
  • Combining the Combat Shotgun with a Jetpack or any other mobility item that allows you to stay in air for a period of time can be very beneficial, allowing a mix of high damage and high mobility.
  • The Combat Shotgun reloads 2 shells at a time, meaning that you can recover easily from getting pushed unexpectedly by an opponent.

Counters[]

  • The Combat Shotgun has a very tight spread, and while in most cases this can be beneficial, when hipfired, it can be very punishing to miss a shot. Engaging an opponent with a Shotgun that has a more forgiving hipfire spread can be beneficial.
