Which Heavy Shotgun version in Fortnite is better: old or new? A direct comparison

The Heavy Shotgun returned to Fortnite after 3 years. How much has this weapon changed?

The shotgun has undergone a number of different changes not only to its damage but also to the way it works, specifically the damage it deals. This has led to a situation where it is difficult to even talk about the fact that it is the same weapon as it used to be.

The only thing that’s roughly the same is the appearance. All other stats have been tampered with in some way by Epic. It’s also worth recalling that the old gun had a damage issue due to a bug in registering it.

How has this shotgun changed?

This shotgun has changed a lot. Damage to the body, headshots, and reload time are different. Today it hardly resembles the old gun.

What are the players’ opinions at the moment? Quite positive, many people for sure take it as a kind of return to the past. It is also worth mentioning DPS – it can really surprise, especially when you can aim.
