Tactical Shotgun

The Tactical Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 0.

Functionality
The Tactical Shotgun is a fully automatic, short ranged weapon. It fires a string of pellets when shot, which tighten on aiming down sights. The weapon can be fired continuously with no effect on accuracy. At medium range, it suffers due to the spread of pellets failing to connect with a target, and at long ranges it is almost completely ineffective.

Stats
Tactical Shotguns fire a spread of pellets. Assuming all pellets land, the weapon will range from dealing 72 Damage per shot to 88 Damage per shot (108-132 damage per second). All Tactical Shotguns use. The Tactical Shotgun has a headshot multiplier of 1.5x.

The Tactical 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 Tactical 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

 * The Tactical Shotgun is a great weapon for beginners, as its high fire rate compared to other shotguns, and its good damage allows newer players to effectively attack opponents at close ranges.
 * The Epic and Legendary variants of the Tactical Shotgun deal 75 and 78 damage to structure respectively, coupled with a high fire rate, allowing it to take down structures much more quickly than other shotguns. It can be used to get inside an opponent's builds without taking time to pull out the harvesting tool, and pulling out the gun again. It can two-shot wood walls, so this is generally more viable than a pickaxe as you are safer if they edit their wall to shoot you.
