- — In-Game Description
The Morphite Tactical Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Reload that was added in Chapter 7: Season 1.
The Morphite Tactical Shotgun is an alternate version of the Tactical Shotgun.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Morphite Tactical Shotgun is a fully automatic, short ranged weapon. It fires a string of pellets when shot, which tighten on aiming down sights. The weapon can be fired continuously with no effect on accuracy. At medium range, it suffers due to the spread of pellets failing to connect with a target, and at long ranges it is almost completely ineffective.
The Morphite Tactical Shotgun can evolve when the player reaches the damage threshold. Pressing reload will reload the weapon and evolve it to the next rarity.
The Morphite Tactical 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.
The Morphite Tactical Shotgun reloads 1 shell at a time, and its reload time statistic is how long it takes for a zero ammo reload to a full magazine.

Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Morphite Tactical Shotgun is almost identical in use as its base counterpart, but trades of a small bit of damage per shot for a faster fire rate. This makes the Morphite Tactical Shotgun a very powerful Shotgun, combined with the ease of use making it very forgiving of missed shots, and it becomes very deadly in the right hands.
- The Morphite Tactical Shotgun, like all other Morphite weapons, highly rewards aggression due to the evolving mechanic. Combined with the ease of use and high damage, leveling the Morphite Tactical Shotgun becomes very easy.
Counters[]
- Compared to its base counterpart, the Morphite Tactical Shotgun has a much lower structure damage, making it much less efficient at pressuring enemy structures without making yourself vulnerable to returning fire. Thus, its regular counterpart is a much more viable shotgun in this scenario.
