Charge Shotgun

The Charge Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 3. The version of this weapon is Kit's Charge Shotgun.

Functionality
The Charge Shotgun is a close ranged weapon which should be charged up in order to deal the most damage to an enemy player. Charging the weapon takes around 1 second and allows it to deal higher damage to enemy players. Like all shotguns it is useful at close range but very weak at medium to longer ranges.

Stats
Charge Shotguns range from dealing 84 Damage per shot to 102 Damage per shot (71.4 - 86.7 damage per second) when uncharged. When charged, they range from dealing 126 - 155 damage per shot (107.1 - 131.75 damage per second). All Charge Shotguns use. The Charge Shotgun has a headshot multiplier of 1.5x.

The Charge Shotgun reloads 1 shell at a time, and its reload time statistic is how long it takes for a zero ammo reload to a full magazine. The Charge Shotgun is a hitscan weapon, but fires a spread of 10 pellets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets.

Strategy Guide

 * Charging up the Charge Shotgun to full is ideal in an engagement as it deals higher damage than not charging it.
 * Another strategy is throwing down a Shockwave Grenade and while in the air, charge and fire.
 * While charging the Charge Shotgun all the way will do maximum damage, in fast-pace battles, it is safer to land two uncharged shots than a full charged shot.
