Is Fortnite double shotgun ever coming back?

fortnite double shotgun coming back

I really liked the double shotgun in Fortnite. And I got a bit angry when the devs decided to remove the weapon from the game. But I really hoped they would bring back this incredible and powerful weapon.

However, after the recent AMA session on Reddit, things are clear now. The devs answered a series of FAQs from gamers and one of them concerns the double shotgun.

So, is the double shotgun coming back in Fortnite? The devs are not planning to bring this weapon back into the game simply because it’s too powerful. They consider that making the double shotgun available again would only unbalance the game.

Here’s the official statement:

We do not have any plans to bring back the double shotgun. The main issue is that the high damage of the weapon is balanced by its slow rate of fire, and bypassing that weakness makes it too powerful.

While many players already got used to the idea that this weapon will never be available in the game ever again, some hope to see it in LTM modes.

I dont want it brought back in normal modes, but do you guys think you could do an ltm with them in it?

Another gamer backed up this idea:

So if you don’t bring it back into normal game, add it back to Close Encounters, so everyone can decide what to play

While the Fornite devs have yet to reply to the suggestions above, I still do hope they’re going to take these ideas into account when designing new game modes.

There are many players who want to engage in challenging battles and the double shotgun would make for a nice addition.

Anyway, I’ll keep an eye on this situation and let you know if anything changed.
