Strategy

Strategy[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • With its low cost and ease of use, the Hammer Pump Shotgun is a perfect weapon to buy right after a pistol round. This could get you easy eliminations on enemies that didn't buy Instant Shield, dropping their weapons for you to take. It also saves Credits for later rounds when having an Assault Rifle is optimal.
  • Due to its nature as a Shotgun, it is important to play in close range positions. This guarantees that a well placed headshot secures an elimination.
  • You can pair the Hammer Pump Shotgun with Impulse Grenades or Overdrive, which can help you get closer to your enemies before they can react and even evade enemy fire.
