- — In-Game Description
Kit's Charge Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Chapter 2: Season 3. It is the Mythic version of the Charge Shotgun.
Functionality[]
Kit's Charge Shotgun functions identically to the regular Charge Shotgun, in that it is a close ranged weapon which should be charged up in order to deal the most damage to an enemy player. Charging the weapon is faster than charging a standard Charge Shotgun. Like all shotguns it is useful at close range but very weak at medium to longer ranges.
Stats[]
Kit's Charge Shotgun uses Shells and has a headshot multiplier of 1.75x. At both charged and uncharged shot it has a max damage cap of 205.
The Kit's 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.
Kit's 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.
Damage falloff:
- Damage falloff begins at 8.5 meters (1.6 tiles).
- Damage decreases down to 90% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tile).
- Damage steadily decreases down to 70% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
- Damage decreases down to 50% of its maximum at 20 meters (4 tiles).
- It deals damage until 30 meters (6 tiles).
Obtained[]
Kit's Charge Shotgun could be obtained by eliminating Kit at Catty Corner.

Strategy Guide[]
- Charging up Kit's Charge Shotgun to full is ideal in an engagement as it deals higher DPS than not charging it.
- Another strategy is throwing down a Shockwave Grenade and while in the air, charge and fire.
- While charging Kit's 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.
- Kit’s Charge Shotgun is the gun with the highest body shot damage in Fortnite, but only when paired with the First Shotgun Augment. When paired with the augment, it will make the shotgun do 195 damage at a full charge. The highest without an Augment is the Dragon's Breath Shotgun.
