Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: Best Shotgun Mods

The arrival of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has brought an exciting new feature – Weapon Mods. Players now have the ability to customize their weapons by adding attachments using Mod Benches found in Weapon Bunkers across the brand-new Battle Royale island. This opens up a world of possibilities, especially for Shotgun lovers looking to gain an edge in close-quarter combat. This guide covers the best shotgun mods in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.

Best Shotgun Mods in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

There are three good Shotgun options available this season – the hard-hitting Hammer Pump Shotgun, the rapid-fire Frenzy Auto Shotgun, and the newly introduced Gatekeeper Shotgun. Whichever your preference, we've got the ideal mod setups to turn these weapons into unstoppable forces.

Best Hammer Pump Shotgun Mods

For those who favor the classic one-shot knockout power of Pump Shotguns, modding the Hammer Pump is a must. Here's the recommended setup:

• Optic: Red Eye Sight (1.15x)
• Barrel: Muzzle Brake
• Magazine: Speed Mag
• Underbarrel: Laser

This mod combo fixes the Pump's main weaknesses – recoil and reload time. The Muzzle Brake and Speed Mag keep you locked on target and ready to fire again quickly, while the Laser boosts hip-fire accuracy for those moments when ADS isn't an option.

Best Frenzy Auto Shotgun Mods

If 'spray & pray' is more your style, look no further than a modded-up Frenzy Auto. This setup will have you shredding opponents before they know what hit them:

• Optic: Red Eye Sight (1.15x)
• Barrel: Muzzle Brake
• Magazine: Speed Mag
• Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip

The 1.15x optic provides just enough zoom to make targets stick out, complimented by the mobility of the Angled Foregrip's quicker ADS time. Recoil control and blazing fast reloads from the Brake and Speed Mag lets you keep the pressure on.

Best Gatekeeper Shotgun Mods

The new Gatekeeper Shotgun is an unholy combination of range, power, and fire rate. Minimal need for optics at short-mid range, but it is vital to control recoil and maximize its gunning potential with this lightning-fast setup.

• Barrel: Muzzle Brake
• Magazine: Speed Mag
• Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip

No matter your shotgunning style, having the right mods equipped can make all the difference in those heated build battles and box fights. Get creative at the Mod Benches in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 and feel the power of the best shotgun mods, forcefully asserting you into Victory Royale.
