Fortnite Chapter 5's introduction of weapon mods has transformed the gaming landscape, offering players a new realm of customization, especially for shotguns. This article will explore the best weapon mods for shotguns, a staple in close-quarters combat in Fortnite.

Best Shotgun Mods In Fortnite Chapter 5

Below, discover the best mods for the two current shotguns in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1.

Best Hammer Pump Shotgun Mods

  • Optic: Default Iron Sights
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake
  • Magazine: Speed Mag
  • Underbarrel: Laser

With this shotgun, you need to be surgical. You mustn't miss a single bullet, and above all you must aim well to inflict serious damage on your opponents, so take the time to apply yourself.

Best Frenzy Auto Shotgun Mods

  • Optic: Default Iron Sights
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake
  • Magazine: Drum Mag
  • Underbarrel: Laser

The most important accessory is the Drum Mag. From 8 to 12 cartridges in the magazine, you'll find it easier to eliminate an average of 2 opponents with a single magazine.

We clearly don't recommend adding optics to your shotguns at this time. Especially as it's fairly uncommon to have to aim a weapon in close combat, an area where hipfire is favored.

In Fortnite Chapter 5, these mods offer players the flexibility to tailor their shotguns according to their combat preferences, enhancing both the effectiveness and enjoyment of the game.
