Fortnite Update 21.30 – All the Key Changes
Fortnite Update 21.30 – All the Key Changes

Update 21.30 has arrived, so let’s unwrap the gift box shall we?

Prime Shotgun

“It’s Prime Time”

The Prime Shotgun does max (50% more) damage in the first shot when it is fully loaded. It’s the first weapon in Fortnite to have the same reload time for every rarity. That being said it reloads one bullet at a time making the Reload Time for a full clip 4.5 Seconds. Reloading after the first shot is Instant.

On the right side of the weapon are 4 Lights, the first light is Red, and the other 3 are Blue. Every light is one shot with the first being the Max damage. Taking standard Shotgun Shells, a Fire Rate of 1.05, and a 9 Pellet Spread. Used correctly this Shotgun will do some heavy damage. Especially when the First shot has a 1.5x, and Headshots are 1.65x. It doesn’t feature in competitive play however, so you won’t see any impact in the Fortnite ranks because of it.
