Fortnite Season 4 of Chapter 4 has introduced another version of shotgun to the game, the Infiltrator Pump Shotgun. Players have already had strong opinions about this type of weapon. With another one poised to shake up the weapons meta, you can bet that there are all sorts of discussions going around. Let’s dive in and see how Fortnite players feel about the latest gun.
How do Fortnite players feel about Infiltrator Pump Shotgun?
The Infiltrator Pump Shotgun represents a sort of hybrid between a pump-action and automatic shotgun. It boasts a decent fire rate and range, with a pretty tight spread. It deals decent damage, which paired with its fire rate can be devastating under the right circumstances.
Fortnite fans have recently taken to Reddit to discuss the new weapon, weighing its pros and cons and discussing its power level. In a thread posted by Tcj_izutsumi, a large number of players have voiced their opinions about the gun.
A fair number of players agree that the Maven Auto Shotgun is the stronger option between the two. That might come down to personal preference and the fact that Maven has been around for longer, giving players ample time to get accustomed.
Some players have argued that with the weapon being brand new, a lot of them are simply using it wrong. There’s a distinction between using an Infiltrator compared to a regular Pump shotgun. With the Infiltrator, there’s more room to back off and away from close range, leveraging the tighter spread to fire off quick shots at the enemy. There’s also the consideration of the Infiltrator’s ammo count being fairly low. So you’d need to use it deliberately because every missed shot counts.
All things considered, it seems that the consensus between players is that the Infiltrator Pump Shotgun is a fun weapon to use, with a good balance of strengths and weaknesses. It’s not OP, and it’s certainly not weak either. Simply put, it can be the right tool for the right job.
