Previously, players could only use their reliable shotguns without attachments. However, that has changed as weapon mods enable them to be more powerful than ever before.

So to make the most of your Shotguns in Chapter 5 Season 4, here are the most effective weapon mods in Fortnite.

Best weapon mods and attachments to use for Shotguns in Fortnite

In the ongoing Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, there are three Shotguns in the game – namely, the Hammer Pump Shotgun, the Gatekeeper Shotgun, and the Sovereign Shotgun. While the Hammer Pump is a more heavy-hitting weapon that mimics the classic Pump Shotguns that existed in Fortnite, Gatekeeper continues to be the one perfect for close-range scenarios.

Furthermore, the new Sovereign Shotgun is a slow-firing shotgun but deals some heavy damage to enemies and is capable of eliminating them in just a couple of shots.

Here are the weapon mods and attachments recommended for you to use to get the best out of all the guns.

  • Optic: No Optic
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
  • Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed)
  • Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip (Reduces time to ADS)

Using the above-recommended combination, the Gatekeeper Shotgun becomes overpowered in close-quarter combat. Unlike the other shotguns, the Gatekeeper needs no scope due to its short range and limited bullet count. But with the Speed Mag and Angled Foregrip, you can get the jump on your opponents and fire faster.
