New Fortnite Legendary Pump Shotgun Shown off by TSM Dakotaz
By Nicholas Barth ·
Team SoloMid Streamer Dakotaz recently showed off the power of the new Fortnite legendary pump shotgun that was introduced in the 6.31 patch notes.
Another week, another content patch for Fortnite Battle Royale is implemented by developer Epic Games. This week's content update saw patch 6.31 bring the new legendary pump shotgun to the battle royale title and a major shotgun buff that looks to push the close quarter weapon class back to the spotlight. With the patch notes for 6.31 having been in Fortnite for a few hours now, many popular Fortnite content creators have gotten their hands on the new legendary pump shotgun and shown off the damage it can do.
One of these content creators was Team SoloMid streamer and YouTuber Dakotaz who provided some footage of himself dominating with the new legendary pump in Fortnite.

While playing a match with fellow content creator CDNThe3rd, TSM Dakotaz was able to get his hands on the new legendary pump shotgun and begin eliminating enemy players left to right with no troubles. Eliminating an enemy duo, TSM Dakotaz can be heard exclaiming his excitement at the newly added weapon due to its extreme power.

Patch 6.31 and its notes explain that the newly added weapon that has been added into Fortnite does 105/110 maximum damage. This high damage output combined with the major shotgun buff that patch 6.31 brought to the battle royale game that guarantees shotguns do a minimum damage output of three pellets even if only one or two hit the target has resulted in the new legendary pump being a very dangerous weapon for players to use on their quests for Victory Royales.
With the last two weapon additions of the mounted turret and dynamite being negatively received by the Fortnite community, it looks as though Epic Games has flipped the script with the addition of the new legendary pump shotgun, as it looks to be a weapon that players will be looking forward to using from now.
