- — In-Game Description
The Heisted Breacher Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Chapter 4: Season 1.
Heisted Breacher Shotgun is the Exotic version of the Heavy Shotgun.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Heisted Breach Shotgun works just like the Heavy Shotgun. It fires a single precise slug instead of a spread of pellets like other shotguns. It deals additional damage against structures and can break fully built wooden structures with one shot. The Heisted Breacher Shotgun reloads 1 shell at a time.
The Heavy Shotgun is a Hitscan weapon that fires a single slug. Aiming down sights allows it to always shoot from the center of the crosshair.
Damage falloff:
- Damage falloff begins at 11 meters (2.2 tiles).
- Damage decreases down to 80% of its maximum at 20 meters (4 tiles).
- Damage steadily decreases down to 63% of its maximum at 30 meters (6 tiles).
- Damage decreases down to 35% of its maximum at 50 meters (10 tiles).
- It deals damage until 71 meters (14.2 tiles).
The Heisted Breacher Shotgun can be reloaded whilst aiming.
