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 Iron Pump Shotgun is an anomaly in that it is one of very few Shotguns, and now the only pump-style Shotgun, in the game that can hit for over 200 headshot damage outside of Mythic rarity. It's headshot damage in general is very rewarding, especially in Builds playlists, so accuracy is key.
  • The Iron Pump Shotgun isn't quite as consistent as some other Shotguns body damage wise, due to the slightly more vertical spread of the pellets. Thus, try to stay on target as much as possible, as it is quite punishing if you miss a shot.

Counters[]

  • The Iron Pump Shotgun has less consistency when going for body shots, so taking a more consistent Shotgun in that area such as the Twin Hammer Shotguns can be beneficial when going against an opponent using an Iron Pump Shotgun.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Despite what the description says, the Iron Pump Shotgun has a slightly higher than average max range, dealing damage until 40 meters and beyond.
    • This happened because the description is reused from other pump-action Shotguns, like the Pump Shotgun.
