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 Hammer Pump Shotgun has one very major advantage compared to other pump-action Shotguns similar to it: the Speed Mag that comes prefixed with it not only reloads faster than average for a Shotgun, but also allows it to reload 2 shells at a time. This is great for situations where you reload in a fight, but might need a follow up shot, especially in Builds playlists, where you'll usually fire a shot, edit, then fire again.
  • Pairing the Hammer Pump Shotgun with a fast firing AR or SMG, such as the Striker AR or Harbinger SMG, can be beneficial as you can hit a high damage shot with the Hammer Pump Shotgun, then finish your opponent off with your spray weapon.
  • The prefixed Muzzle Brake on the Hammer Pump Shotgun allows for it to be more accurate with follow up shots, which can be very beneficial especially when hipfiring.
  • When choosing between the regular Pump Shotgun and the Hammer Pump Shotgun, be aware that the Hammer Pump Shotgun hits slightly less hard headshot wise in lower rarities as well as overall lower body damage, in exchange for having slightly higher headshot damage in higher rarities, having an extra shell, a much faster reload speed per rarity, and a tighter spread. This makes the Pump Shotgun a weapon that is less consistent but not as punishing for hitting a body shot, where as the Hammer Pump Shotgun is the opposite, being more consistent, but more rewarding of headshots.
