- — In-Game Description
The Dub is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 5.
The Dub is the Exotic version of the Double Barrel Shotgun.
Functionality[]
The Dub is an Exotic variant of the Double Barrel Shotgun, which has an effect similar to the Flint-Knock Pistol, knocking back the player who fires the weapon, as well as those hit by its shots. The Dub is a weapon with very low range and a very small magazine. The Dub can deal high amounts of damage in very close situations, even closer than that of the Pump Shotgun. Landing all pellets from both its shots can knock a player from full health and shields in default playlists.
The Dub is a hitscan weapon, that 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 3 meters (0.6 tiles).
- Damage steadily decreases down to 80% of its maximum at 5 meters (1 tile).
- Damage decreases down to 55% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tiles).
- It deals damage until 18 meters (3.6 tiles).

Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Dub should be used at extremely close range, and it is forgiving enough that you can miss your first shot for a follow up one. However, this is more difficult with this weapon's knockback ability.
- You can fully knock a player if you land both shots accurately. However, this is more difficult if they fly away on the first shot. Even as a risky play, try building a wall behind them to keep them from going anywhere. This strategy is even more effective in a box fight scenario.
- The Dub can be used for self mobility, such as reaching high ground, or it can be used for offensive mobility, such as knocking a player off a structure, or into the storm.
- If you are battling on a high place and you could fall to your death, try crouching so the Shotgun doesn’t knock you back.
