Pump-Action Shotgun. Deals high damage at a moderate fire rate. Short range and limited mag size.
— In-Game Description

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Chapter 6: Season 1.

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun has a Mythic variant called Enhanced Sentinel Pump Shotgun and an Exotic variant called the Unstable Frostfire Shotgun.

Functionality[]

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is a pump-action shotgun, meaning it is slow firing, very damaging, and best suited to close quarters combat. It has 4 shells in the magazine, and is pumped between shots, which leads to a relatively slow fire rate. However, the Sentinel Pump Shotgun has a relatively quick fire rate compared to other pump-action shotguns, meaning it is not as punishing to miss a shot as (for example) the Striker Pump Shotgun. The Sentinel Pump Shotgun reloads one shell at a time.

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is a Hitscan weapon, firing a spread of 12 pellets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets.

Damage falloff:

  • Damage falloff begins at 6.5 meters (1.3 tiles).
  • Damage steadily decreases down to 75% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tiles).
  • Damage decreases down to 43% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
  • It deals damage until 29.5 meters (5.9 tiles).

Stats[]

Sentinel Pump Shotgun uses Shells - Ammunition - Fortnite Shells, has a headshot multiplier of 1.75x and a max damage cap of 170/175/180/190/195.

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Sentinel Pump Shotgun has a higher fire rate than most pump-action Shotguns, with a fire rate of 0.85, and combined with very powerful shots, rewards aggressive play heavily.
  • Keep in mind that the Sentinel Pump Shotgun only has a shell capacity of 4, so combined with the slightly higher fire rate, can go from full to empty quite quickly.

Counters[]

  • The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is very punishing for missing a shot, so using a faster firing, more forgiving Shotgun such as the Twinfire Auto Shotgun can be beneficial.

Weapon ID[]

Sentinel Pump Shotgun is referred to as Shotgun Pump Fire Petal in the files.
