The Sentinel Pump Shotgun has a Mythic variant called Enhanced Sentinel Pump Shotgun and an Exotic variant called the Unstable Frostfire Shotgun.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is a pump-action shotgun, meaning it is slow firing, very damaging, and best suited to close quarters combat. It has 4 shells in the magazine, and is pumped between shots, which leads to a relatively slow fire rate. However, the Sentinel Pump Shotgun has a relatively quick fire rate compared to other pump-action shotguns, meaning it is not as punishing to miss a shot as (for example) the Striker Pump Shotgun. The Sentinel Pump Shotgun reloads one shell at a time.

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is a Hitscan weapon that fires a spread of 12 pellets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets.

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun can be aimed down sights while reloading and aimed down sights in midair, but only in modes that have these mechanics enabled.

Damage falloff:

  • Damage falloff begins at 6.5 meters (1.3 tiles).
  • Damage steadily decreases down to 75% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tiles).
  • Damage decreases down to 43% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
  • It deals damage until 29.5 meters (5.9 tiles).

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 Sentinel Pump Shotgun has a higher fire rate than most pump-action Shotguns, with a fire rate of 0.85, and combined with very powerful shots, rewards aggressive play heavily.
  • Keep in mind that the Sentinel Pump Shotgun only has a shell capacity of 4, so combined with the slightly higher fire rate, can go from full to empty quite quickly.

Counters[]

  • The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is very punishing for missing a shot, so using a faster firing, more forgiving Shotgun such as the Twinfire Auto Shotgun can be beneficial.
