— In-Game Description

The Spire Assassin's Primal Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 6.

Spire Assassin's Primal Shotgun is the Mythic version of the Primal Shotgun.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Spire Assassin's Primal Shotgun is a short ranged weapon, suitable for attacking enemies up close. It is essentially a higher damage Shotgun, and as such fills the same role as it, but dealing more DPS.

Spire Assassin's Primal Shotgun will fire slower when aiming down sights. Unlike other Shotguns, the Spire Assassin's Primal Shotgun reloads all shells at once, instead of one at a time.

The Spire Assassin's Primal Shotgun is a Hitscan weapon which fires a spread of 5 pellets with a random pattern when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets, but also decreases the weapon's rate of fire.

Damage falloff:

Damage falloff begins at 7.5 meters (1.5 tiles).
Damage steadily decreases down to 76% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tiles).
Damage decreases down to 47% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
It deals damage until 30 meters (6 tiles).
