Modular Combat Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added in Chapter 5: Season 3.

Modular Combat Shotgun has a Mythic variant called Megalo Don's Combat Shotgun.

Functionality

Combat Shotgun is a longer ranged shotgun, with a fast firerate. It is designed for longer ranged engagements than other shotguns, with its maximum damage taking longer to fall-off. As such, the weapon also has a tight spread.

Modular Combat Shotgun uses Shells and reloads 2 shells at a time, has a headshot multiplier of 1.5x and a max damage cap of 140, 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.

Trivia

• Modular Combat Shotgun resembles the Benelli M2 Super 90.
  • It is configured into a Taran Tactical M2 Ultimate 3 Gun, which is the exact same as the one that appears in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
  • The way the player reloads the gun is very similar to how John Wick himself reloads it in the film, using a technique known as a Quad Load.
