Fortnite: Prime Shotgun Stats and Rarity, Location
The Prime Shotgun was added to Fortnite: V21.30 in the summer update.
The Prime Shotgun, a unique shotgun that hits quite hard, is now available in Uncommon and Mythic rarity. The unique feature of the Prime Shotgun is its ability to hit harder with its first shot. It is the first weapon in its class to have such a peculiarity.
This is everything you need to know about Fortnite’s Prime Shotgun.
The Prime Shotgun is a significant upgrade to the Two-Shot based on stats.
The Prime will hit headshots harder and has a faster reload time. This means that missing is not as severe of a punishment. Although the fire rate is slightly lower than the Prime, headshots that hit harder are more feasible for more players.
Interestingly, the Prime Shotgun’s behaviour will vary depending on how many shells it has loaded. It hits maximum damage when fully loaded. This adds an exciting aspect to the game where players might feel more pressured to hit their first shot for maximum damage.
Each shot will do the same damage as the previous one, but the damage for the fourth shot is 40% less if you hit the headshot. For example, if you hit two headshots with the Mythic version, the first shot will do 160 damage, while the second will do close to 100 damage.
Although it does more damage from afar than Chapter 1’s Combat in its prime, the PPrimedoes much more.
The only thing that seems to change between rarities is the difficulty of your shots, so things like fire rate or reload speed aren’t affected.
