Fornite Battle Royale Blue Pump Shotgun

While the amazing Guided Missile was the big weapon added in this week (perfect for going around defenses to take out a base), nestled within the Fortnite patch v3.4 note was this little tidbit that barely went noticed at first:

As it turns out, that rarity change resulted in some rare blue shotguns now appearing as loot chest or ground drops. It doesn’t appear that the damage or ammo capacity has changed, however, as this was simply a change up in the rarity of the shotgun instead.

More Patch 3.4 Changes

That rare blue pump isn’t the only addition to this week’s patch. The Egg Launcher has been added as a seasonal cosmetic change that replaces the standard Grenade Launcher, so if you miss the old Pumpkin Launcher from Halloween, now is your chance to get back in on more seasonal exploding shenanigans!

Besides the changes to the (currently much more popular) Battle Royale mode, a major tweak just came to Save The World mode that has players very, very happy – sprinting no longer consumes energy.

That’s huge for Ninja characters, as well as for anyone who was tired of trying to walk across those giant maps to get their quest objectives and still make it back to the base in time for the wave of enemies.

The full Fortnite 3.4 patch notes can be read over here, and be sure to stay tuned for our guides on the newly added Week 6 challenges arriving soon!

 Have fun racking up the kills with that rare blue pump!
