As the end of Fortnite season ⁢OG ​quickly approaches, ⁢players⁢ are becoming increasingly frustrated with the newly released Drum Shotgun. As⁣ one of the most highly anticipated ​weapons ⁣of the season, the Drum Shotgun was released⁣ to Noble Gold tier players in one of the last patches of the season, yet it has been met with largely negative ‌reviews⁢ by players who view ⁣it‍ as a ​misstep in balancing the Fortnite⁣ meta.

The Drum Shotgun boasts ⁢a high burst damage range of 90/95 body/head‌ but‌ has⁣ been criticized⁢ by ⁤players ​for⁣ its ⁢low reload speed, lack of range, and ⁣double-barrel capacity, which mean that players will often ‍be at a⁢ disadvantage against lone opponents. ⁣Players have been vocal about their ⁣opinions on the Drum​ Shotgun, with some calling it a “lazy addition” to the⁤ game and ‌a “permanent meme”.

Despite its debated usefulness in the game, ⁢the Drum Shotgun has‍ seen ​some ⁢success in competitive play. Professional players such as ​Nate Hill⁤ and Kinstaar ​have been able⁣ to‍ utilize ⁤the shotgun’s high burst damage in clutch moments, ‍allowing them ‍to ⁣take an opponent by surprise and secure a win.

Players⁣ have begun‍ to call for ⁣Fortnite to take another look at the Drum Shotgun⁣ during the season’s final days⁤ and make ⁣some adjustments to keep it from becoming a permanent feature. In‌ particular, ⁣players have⁣ asked for an⁣ increase in reload speed and‌ for ‍the gun’s double-barrel capacity to⁢ be toned down. Until then, however, Fortnite ‍players will continue‌ to express their⁢ frustration with​ the beloved but⁤ underperforming Drum Shotgun.
