Key Takeaways

  • The Double Pump Shotgun is set to make a comeback in Fortnite’s OG mode, exciting players.
  • Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 1 will bring back the iconic Double Pump Shotgun on December 6.
  • Developers seem aware of the Double Pump’s legacy and are using it to generate excitement for the update.



The Double Pump Shotgun is making a comeback once Fortnite‘s upcoming OG mode drops. There are various exciting developments underway for Fortnite players as the release of the next Chapter of the game gets closer. Many fans are excited to see what will change in the new update for modern Fortnite, which is rumored to feature traditional Japanese theming, but players are also excited about Fortnite OG, which is set to be a nostalgic shakeup to what gamers have become familiar with.

Fortnite‘s Double Pump Shotgun has been a controversial weapon within the community for a long time. In the game’s meta, shotguns have always been effective ways to take on enemies, dealing huge damage in seconds and delivering quick knockdowns. Fortnite players like Ninja often went through matches carrying two Double Pumps, cycling to the next one the moment the first weapon ran out of ammo. Due to fan complaints, the Double Pump was eventually cycled out of the game, but with Fortnite OG bringing back classic weapons, the old meta may also return in that mode.

Making sure the legacy of Fortnite‘s Double Pump Shotgun remains intact while also ensuring the game is balanced and players are having fun may be a tricky thing for the Fortnite team to handle. Based on the post announcing the weapon’s return, the developers are not only aware of the Double Pump’s reputation, but they seem to be using that reputation to get players excited about the upcoming update. The Double Pump could end up just as controversial as it has always been, but the excitement from many players could signal that fans are okay with that, as long as matches are still fun.

The Double Pump doesn’t seem to be the only thing returning to Fortnite OG. Since this mode will stick around once the new update goes live, there will be plenty of time to draw from various aspects of the game’s history. The announcement of the Double Pump was made somewhat early leading up to the launch of the next Chapter of Fortnite, which implies that there could be plenty of other announcement posts discussing what weapons will be included in Fortnite OG. Fans may end up seeing even more iconic items announced, but perhaps few as notorious as the Double Pump.
