Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • In Zero Build, attaching the Drum Mag Drum Mag and Laser Laser mods allow the Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun to be used to effectively pressure enemies.
    • Despite this when choosing the Drum Mag Drum Mag the player needs to utilize a more passive playstyle in order to not be thrown off by the reload time decrease demanded by the Drum Mag Drum Mag, especially in the late game when players will be more aggressive. So, the Speed Mag Speed Mag is sometimes the better choice.
  • Keep in mind that unlike other shotguns in the game, the Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun cannot reach its max damage cap, making headshots a little unpredictable damage wise.
  • The Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun can be used as an SMG replacement, as its range is surprisingly sufficient enough to outgun some SMG's at range, and similarly performs in point-blank engagements, such as a box fight.

Counters[]

  • Staying within mid-long range in an engagement is beneficial when against an opponent wielding the Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun, as it is most effective within close quarters.
  • The Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun has a sluggish reload time and has to reload the full magazine at once, so in the case an opponent wielding one has to reload, engaging with them while they most likely have no ammo can be very beneficial.

Weapon ID[]

Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun is referred to as Shotgun Auto Paprika in the files.

  • Common: WID_Shotgun_Auto_Paprika_Athena_C
  • Uncommon: WID_Shotgun_Auto_Paprika_Athena_UC
  • Rare: WID_Shotgun_Auto_Paprika_Athena_R

  • Legendary: WID_Shotgun_Auto_Paprika_Athena_SR

Mode Specific History[]

Trivia[]

  • Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun resembles the AA-12 CQB Auto Shotgun.[1]
    • The differences between the Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun and the real-life AA-12 has to do with the charging handle which is now on the right side and acts as both the ejection port and charging bolt. While the charging handle on the real-life AA-12 is on the top and is separate from the bolt.
    • The AA-12's original iron sights were also replaced by rails and 3rd party iron sights to allow optics to be attached.
  • Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun reloads all shells at once instead of individually.
  • Modular Frenzy Auto, Modular Hammer Pump, Modular Combat and Modular Sovereign shotguns are the only shotguns that can be suppressed.
  • In the Cursed Sails Loading Screen and the Chapter 5 Launch Trailer at the 25 second mark, the Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun is incorrectly shown with an Assault Weapon's Drum Mag Weapon Mod and an Optic that resembles the one seen on the Red-Eye Assault Rifle.
  • As of Update v33.20, the Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun uses the same reload animation as its Ballistic counterpart in First-Person modes as long as the Default Magazine is equipped.
  • The Modular Frenzy Auto Shotgun was the first Modular weapon to be fully unvaulted for standard Battle Royale loot pool since its last appearance in Chapter 5: Season 3.
