— In-Game Description

The Maven Auto Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Chapter 4: Season 1.

The Maven Auto Shotgun has an Exotic variant called Heisted Accelerant Shotgun, as well as a Mythic variant called Wolfe's Maven Auto Shotgun.

Functionality

Functionality[]

Maven Auto Shotgun is a fully automatic shotgun with moderate damage and fast fire rate. Unlike most of the other weapons in its class, the Maven Auto Shotgun still maintains relatively decent damage at medium range. The Maven Auto Shotgun reloads 1 shell at a time.

The Maven Auto 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.

Damage falloff:

  • Damage falloff begins at 10 meters (2 tiles).
  • Damage decreases down to 70% of its maximum at 30 meters (6 tiles).
  • Damage steadily decreases down to 20% of its maximum at 45 meters (9 tiles).
  • It deals damage until 50 meters (10 tiles).

The Maven Auto Shotgun can be reloaded whilst aiming.

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 Maven Auto Shotgun is better suited for those with worse aim, as its recovery between shots is more forgiving.
  • While it may have a slower fire rate and slightly smaller shell capacity than the Tactical Shotgun, the Maven Auto Shotgun is much more accurate and has a higher headshot damage cap, making headshots much more rewarding, and overall damage much more consistent.

Counters[]

  • Despite the advantages mentioned above, the Maven Auto Shotgun, especially with close-point blank range, can be countered by the Tactical Shotgun or Auto Shotgun simply due to their larger magazines and faster fire rate.
