The recent Fortnite update made a couple of strange changes to the game or, more specifically, to a couple of guns in the game, and in the process, divided fans. Once upon a time, shotguns dominated the Fortnite meta, but not anymore. Right now, the close-range weapon of choice is the SMG. Despite this, one of the game’s shotguns just got a major nerf that turns it from an average weapon to a pretty underwhelming gun to use. To balance this out, one of the worst guns in the game – a shotgun – has received a major nerf that makes it far more useable. Lastly, you may now find that one AR feels a bit different. 

NEW WEAPONS STATS- Striker Pump damage reduced by 12 (From 103/108/114/120/126 to 91/96/102/108/114)- Burst AR used to deal the same damage on all ranges, now it deals 3 less damage on mid range, and 5 less damage on long range- The Two-Shot’s second shot now fires 50% faster pic.twitter.com/ohFZNhXAVg

striker pump ruined

What them want us to do? No scar, no combat smg, all the pumps are pure 💩They want us to pickaxe??? Wtf

Why not just remove the 2 shot shotgun instead of buffing it. It’s the most shit gun in the game next to the charged smg

Well maybe just live with it… Im tried of PlayStation kids getting in my switch lobbies and hitting me with aug cross map and killing me with two striker pump shots. This is a change that needed to be made.

really good changes
