New Leaks suggest a New Automatic Shotgun is coming to Fortnite Chapter 3

The news about a new automatic shotgun coming to Fortnite Chapter 3 comes via notable leaker ShiinaBR. As per the leaker, the developers have added a fresh automatic shotgun weapon for Chapter 3, which will be available once the downtime concludes.

However, the leakers have not revealed any stats about the weapon as of writing this article. It will be interesting to see how it fairs up against other existing shotguns in the game.

Currently, the quickest shotgun in Fortnite is the Drum Shotgun, which fires four bullets every second. On the other hand, Pump Shotgun, the slowest shotgun in the game, fires only 0.7 shots per second.

Since this new shotgun will be an automatic, it may completely change how close or medium range encounters work in Fortnite.
