The PUMP Shotgun is STILL in Fortnite!

If you look in the comments on any post by the official Fortnite Twitter account, you'll instantly be presented with dozens of BR players pleading with "Mr. Epic" to return the much-loved pump shotgun to the game, after it was vaulted with the launch of Season 5.

While bringing the pump back (and 100% chest spawn) would be great additions to the BR game mode, this is a great opportunity for the other game mode in Fortnite. And no, I don't mean Save the World 😅

Fortnite Creative mode allows anyone to create their own game modes and if you have your own Support-a-Creator code, you can even publish those maps for other people to play.

If you're just looking for a game to play with a pump again, you're in luck! With 99,469 maps to choose from, you certainly have a lot of options.

FCHQ is all about helping players find the perfect maps to play, so let's check out some options!

Play with your squad

Already have a party going? Load up a popular boxfight map or zone wars map.

Most of these will have a pump option, though quite a few of them will be using the new dragon shotgun.

Play with strangers

Jump into Fortnite Creative mode (either 'Create' or 'Play' mode) then find the 'Matchmaking portals' - the hub changes every Tuesday, so they won't always be in the same spot. Here's what they look like at the time of this article:

From here you can interact with one of the matchmaking portals, or you can use the teleporters to go into rooms dedicated to the three different featured genres.
