Looking for a short-range Fortnite weapon that does a lot of damage? Epic Games has something new in store for you: the Wood Stake Shotgun.
The Fortnitemares event is here and has brought with it a new shotgun, the Wood Stake Shotgun. We have the exact stats of the weapon for you and show you how to get it!
Fortnite Wood Stake Shotgun: Stats
The Wood Stake Shotgun fires wooden stakes that cause significant damage at close range. According to Fortnite, it is primarily created to fight vampires and undead - but, of course, players mainly use it against real enemies...
The Shotgun is a semi-automatic weapon that fires a single, accurate stake, rather than a series of bullets like other shotguns. It is accurate from a distance, but has poor hip fire, so you definitely need to have a good Aim for the weapon. By the way, with the Fortnite bite Kado Thorne and the cube monsters, it does 1.5x more damage.
The Wood Stake Shotgun in Fortnite is available from rare to legendary, with each rarity level dealing additional damage. However, the rate of fire and magazine size are the same at each level. These are the stats for the Wood Stake Shotgun:
| Rarity | DPS | Damage (body) | Mag Size | Fire Rate | Reload Time |
| Rare | 119.6 | 92 | 4 | 1.3 | 4.28s |
| Epic | 126.1 | 97 | 4 | 1.3 | 4.06s |
| Legendary | 131.3 | 101 | 4 | 1.3 | 3.85s |
How To Get The Wood Stake Shotgun
Fortunately, the Wood Stake Shotgun is available everywhere on the island during the Halloween event. That is, it can be found on the ground, in regular chests, in rare chests, and in holo chests.
So you shouldn't have any problems getting the Wood Stake Shotgun in Fortnite, but of course the rarer ones are harder to find, so it's worth knowing all the locations of the upgrade benches in Chapter 4.
