The highly anticipated return of the Pump Shotgun to Fortnite is bringing along some unexpected modifications for players who have been in the battle royale since the beginning. As Fortnite has undergone significant growth since its initial release, it's only logical for the Pump Shotgun to undergo its own evolution.
For veteran players, Fortnite may now appear to be an entirely different game due to the substantial changes implemented throughout the years. Along with these changes, there have been adjustments to the lineup of weapons and items. Several beloved weapons have been stored away for what feels like an eternity, but an iconic firearm may finally make its comeback.
According to a leak, the highly anticipated return of the Pump Shotgun is imminent. The Pump Shotgun was a popular weapon during the early days of Fortnite and gained a lot of popularity among players. Tweets from well-known Fortnite leakers HYPEX and FNAssist suggest that the Pump Shotgun is making a comeback, but this time with a new name: Sharp Tooth Shotgun.
In addition to the name change, the Sharp Tooth Shotgun will also come with some updated features. The weapon will have a narrow spread and the ability to hit targets from a long distance, dealing a whopping 160 damage with a headshot at Legendary Rarity. Some fans have expressed their desire for the original Pump Shotgun to return, but others are excited about these enhancements. While this is not the first item to make a comeback in Fortnite, many players will be eager to get their hands on this new and improved weapon.
While some players might feel let down by the fact that the Sharp Tooth Shotgun does not possess identical specifications to the original Pump Shotgun, this revamped edition has the potential to offer enhanced features. Modifications in Fortnite occasionally give rise to controversy, and loyal fans of the OG Pump Shotgun may not immediately embrace the Sharp Tooth Shotgun. Nevertheless, for those who eagerly anticipate this alteration, it will be enthralling to observe how the weapon's updates influence players during matches.
Fortnite is currently accessible on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
