— In-Game Description

The Striker Pump Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 3: Season 1.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Striker Pump Shotgun is a slow firing, high damage shotgun. It is deadly at close range with a tight spread, but is weak at medium range to compensate. The Striker Pump Shotgun reloads one shell at a time.

The Striker 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 Striker Pump Shotgun can be reloaded whilst aiming. It can be aimed down sights while in midair, but only in modes that have this mechanic enabled.

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 Striker Pump Shotgun has the slowest fire rate out of all the other shotguns. When you reload the shotgun, make sure to check for opponents that can possibly attack you.
  • One thing that can make up for the Striker Pump Shotgun's slower fire rate is the faster pullout time than the other pump-action shotguns. The oddity about this is that it creates a weird sensation where the weapon will feel delayed when firing after pulling it out, especially in situations such as pulling out the Striker Pump Shotgun after editing a structure in Builds playlists.
  • A fast-firing weapon to follow up to is recommended, such as the Stinger SMG, as the Striker Pump Shotgun is quite slow to shoot and is rather unpredictable at medium distances, sometimes dealing very low damage. A good strategy is to fire the Striker Pump Shotgun to do a lot of damage then following up with a fast-firing weapon to eliminate your enemy.
  • The Striker Pump Shotgun is incapable of quickly destroying structures due to its extremely lowered structure damage.
    • It is best to pair the Striker Pump Shotgun with a Stinger SMG which can be used to quickly break builds, switch to the pump for high initial damage, and switching back to the SMG to finish the enemy.
  • One thing the Striker Pump Shotgun has an advantage in is headshot damage, as it is one of the only pump shotguns in the game that can hit for 200 damage a headshot in Legendary rarity, a trait shared with the Iron Pump Shotgun.

Counters[]

  • The Striker Pump Shotgun is essentially a slower-firing, weaker body-shot, tighter pellet spread version of the Pump Shotgun. While the Striker Pump Shotgun may be more consistent due to its tighter pellet spread, most engagements (unless you hit a headshot) will be lost when going against a Pump Shotgun.
  • The Striker Pump Shotgun can sometimes be clunky due to its sometimes-inconsistent damage. Using a more consistent shotgun, such as the Pump Shotgun can be more forgiving.
Weapon ID

Weapon ID[]

The Striker Pump Shotgun is referred to as Shotgun Core Burst in the files.

  • Common: WID_Shotgun_CoreBurst_Athena_C
  • Uncommon: WID_Shotgun_CoreBurst_Athena_UC
  • Rare: WID_Shotgun_CoreBurst_Athena_R
