The SMG is a classic weapon that has also been around for a long time in Fortnite's history. It is not the best in terms of damage but SMGs can be absolutely devastating in close combat because of their extremely high fire rate.

In Chapter 2, the SMG was renamed regular SMG and the upgraded one is the Compact SMG. It is recommended to carry it in your inventory in case you need a lightweight and heavy firing gun.

  • Common: 70
  • Uncommon: 80
  • Rare: 90
  • Epic: 100
  • Legendary: 110

The stronger, slower version of the Tactical Shotgun. The Pump Shotgun is slow to fire and slow to reload but it can do some really good burst damage if you shoot it right. It has become somewhat weaker in Chapter 2 compared to previous iterations of the game.

But the upgraded Epic/Legendary version of the Pump Shotgun is very strong and it can even qualify to be an S-Tier weapon.
