Fortnite Battle Royale – Tactical Shotgun Guide

When it comes to FPS shooter games, Fortnite Battle Royale surely has made a name for itself. The primary reason is the building feature, but that barely scratches the surface. The plethora of exotic weapons is another thing in the arsenal of Fortnite Battle Royale. Today, I am going to talk about one of those weapons; the Tactical Shotgun. Although it is not as good as Pump Shotgun or Heavy Shotgun on paper but it has its own significance. So with that said, I am going to give you some tips on using the tactical shotgun in a way that may increase your odds of getting a win in a gunfight. So without further ado, let’s jump right in:

Less Damage but Speedy:
When it comes to damage, the pump shotgun definitely has the upper hand. But, just like everyone has their own skills in the movie Avengers, the guns in Fortnite Battle Royale have their own strengths. And the strength of Tactical shotgun lies in its fire rate. Unlike the pump shotgun that takes a few seconds to get ready for the next shot, tactical shotgun gets ready almost instantly. So if you are avoiding the tactical shotgun, DON’T. You can fire two or three quick shots and get the kill if you just practice your aim with this gun.

Get an Advantage Over Them:
Look, with weapons that have good damage but low range, you need to be as close to your enemy as possible right? Well, it’s same with the Tactical Shotgun. You need to be as close to your enemy as you can, and a good way to do so is to use the Third Person View. You can hide behind a wall or a rock and still see the enemy through the third person view. And as soon as the enemy is near your just pop out and BAM, shot them in the head. Also, even if the enemy is not coming towards you then as soon as he faces the other direction, run towards him and shoot him. You will have the benefit of fire rate so you can hit him 2 to 3 times before he starts to hit you.

Don’t jump, Hold the High Ground:
With a tactical shotgun in your hand, it is better to build above your enemy and then shoot him. Getting the advantage of high ground is always a winning move.

But, many players, after building the high ground, do not hold their position and jump towards the enemy just like Ninja does. Well guys, for starters, he is Ninja you are not. His aiming, firing and style of playing are a lot better than yours. So it is always better to play by holding your ground above and only jump on the enemy if you know he doesn’t have much health.

Rock a Combo of Pump and Tactical:
Another winning tactic with a tactical shotgun is to use it with the Pump Shotgun. Firstly, start the combat with a Pump shotgun, and if somehow the enemy survives your shot from the pump shotgun, then you do not have to wait for it to be able to shoot again. You can immediately take out the tactical shotgun and start firing right away.
