As a seasoned Fortnite player who’s been through thick and thin with the game since its early days, I can hardly contain my excitement about the return of the legendary Double Pump Shotgun! Back in Season 1, Chapter 5, this weapon was an absolute game-changer, and I vividly remember the thrill of mastering that Double Pump strategy. It’s like Epic Games has reached into my gaming past and pulled out one of my most cherished memories.
It’s one of the most nostalgic weapons in Fortnite: the Double Pump Shotgun.
This shotgun was first featured in Season 1, Episode 5, and soon became a favorite among the community due to its impressive firepower and its role as a strong substitute for submachine guns during that period, given its high damage output.

The well-known “Double Pump” tactic entailed having two Pump Shotguns on hand, alternating between them in fights to effectively skip the reload period or cooldown between shots.
This feature facilitated incredibly swift and destructive assaults, which was appealing to many players. Nevertheless, Epic Games eventually removed this tactic from the early stages of the game to promote a more fair and even playing field.
Double Pump Returns, but Only in Fortnite OG
On December 6th, the Double Pump will be back, as confirmed by a post on Fortnite’s official Twitter account.

For some, however, it brings back less favorable memories:
It appears that Fortnite reintroducing the double pump technique feels somewhat desperate, as if they are trying too hard. Frankly, I don’t intend to halt my camouflage progress for being outmaneuvered and double-pumped by a player who hasn’t even reached Chapter 2 yet.
