Pump Shotgun

Functionality[]

The Pump Shotgun is a high damage, short range and slow firing shotgun, best suited to very close quarters. It has 5 shells in the magazine and must be pumped between shots, leading a slow fire rate. It excels at close range combat with its ability to deal significant damage. At lower rarities, it still does significant damage but is very punishing if you miss. The Pump Shotgun can hit targets at mid-range, but the damage drop off is so high, and the spread so great that only 1 or 2 pellets will hit. The Pump Shotgun reloads 1 shell at a time.

Pump Shotgun in action

The Pump 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 7 meters (1.4 tiles).
• Damage steadily decreases down to 78% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tiles).
• Damage decreases down to 49% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
• It deals damage until 31 meters (6.2 tiles).

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

Usage[]

• The Pump Shotgun is a very strong Shotgun in Battle Royale due to its high single-shot damage and good hip fire accuracy.
• When using the Pump Shotgun, try to utilize cover between shots. That way, you maximize damage dealt while minimizing damage taken.
  • When finding cover, make sure it's in a position where opponents will come toward you on your right. This way you can see them without them seeing you.
• When using the Pump Shotgun at close ranges, make sure to aim for the head, as the headshot damage of the Pump Shotgun is very high.
  • However, when nearing the limits of the Pump Shotgun's range, aiming for the upper chest is advised, to make sure you land as many pellets as possible which will maximize the damage dealt.
• A strategy that was made popular with the introduction of the Sentinel Pump Shotgun, and works with all pump-style Shotguns, is to, when reloading, wait until the magazine count is max, then swap or shoot before the player character primes the shotgun during the reload animation: this cuts the amount of downtime before the weapon can fire again, as that part of the reload animation is unnecessary and happens after the magazine is full.
• When choosing a weapon to counter a Pump Shotgun, your best option is usually your own pump shotgun or another weapon with high single shot damage at close range. There are many weapons that can be effectively paired with the Pump Shotgun.
  • For example, pairing the Pump Shotgun with a fast-firing close ranged weapon, such as an SMG, allows for an incredibly deadly close-range combo. Fire the Pump Shotgun to deal high damage, then finish off the opponent with a rapid burst of fire from the SMG.
• You can pair the Pump Shotgun with other different weapon types that deal high amounts of damage in single shots at close range. For example, the Flint-Knock Pistol, Ex-Caliber Rifle, or the Hunting Rifle.
• For opponents hiding in player-built structures, especially ones made of wood, stone, or freshly built metal, you can fire a Rocket Launcher at their structure, then fire your Pump Shotgun at them just as the rocket explodes. If it's timed correctly, you can deal 50+ damage to your opponent fairly easily.
• If you decide to choose a different Shotgun, make sure you choose one that plays to the Pump's weaknesses.
  • For example, the Drum Shotgun can counter the Pump Shotgun's poor fire rate, and the Heavy Shotgun can counter the Pump Shotgun's poor range.
• If you don't have a good single shot high damage weapon, try getting into an opponent's box and spraying them with an Assault Rifle or SMG.

Counters[]

• The Pump Shotgun is only at its maximum potential at point-blank range, so keeping distance between yourself and an opponent with a Pump Shotgun can be beneficial.
• The Pump Shotgun has a very slow fire rate, so a faster firing Shotgun, as mentioned above, can easily counter it.

Weapon ID[]

The Pump Shotgun is referred to as Shotgun Standard in the files.

• Common: WID_Shotgun_Standard_Athena_Common
• Uncommon: WID_Shotgun_Standard_Athena_C_Ore_T03
• Rare: WID_Shotgun_Standard_Athena_UC_Ore_T03
• Epic: WID_Shotgun_Standard_Athena_VR_Ore_T03
• Legendary: WID_Shotgun_Standard_Athena_SR_Ore_T03
