Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is set to start on March 8th, if all goes according to plan. So, it's no wonder that new leaks are surfacing on the internet every day. Alongside the new Battle Pass Skins, the first weapon to come into play has now even been leaked: A new Tactical Shotgun. We have the details for you.

Fortnite: New Tactical Shotgun Leaked For Chapter 5 Season 2

The leaks, as often, come from our good friend and Fortnite Leaker Hypex. He discovered the following weapon in the files:


The weapon is a new version of the Tac Shotgun that appears and disappears in the game from time to time. Unlike the Pumpgun, this weapon deals less damage, but shoots much faster.

Hypex also posted the stats for the weapon, but with the note that these could still change:

  • 6 bullets AND reloads the entire magazine at once
  • Reload Time: 4.2s to 3.6s
  • Fire Rate: 1
  • Damage: 79/84/88/93/97
  • Headshot Damage: 119/126/132/139/145


Most players are pretty hyped about the new weapon, while others believe that it could also be too OP, especially for controller players.

We'll have to wait until the weapon is actually in the game to get a final picture of it. Until then, stay hyped and enjoy the last days of the old season.
