Epic Games

In a recent hotfix, Fortnite has added a new weapon called the Sharp Tooth Shotgun that is modeled after the OG Pump shotgun. Want to know where to get it and if it’s any good? We’ve got you covered with this comprehensive guide.

The variety of new weaponry being released in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3, as well as the new jungle biome, are helping to boost the game’s appeal among players. In the most recent patch, version v25.11, gamers were given access to a new Explosive Repeater Rifle that quickly gained popularity.

A group of players, though, figured out how to use the weapon’s flaw to their advantage and reimagine the game’s double-pump meta. While it’s quite clear that players miss their favorite OG Pump Shotgun, Fortnite has finally delivered to their demands in a roundabout way.

Recently, in a hotfix, Fortnite removed the Kinetic Boomerang and added the Sharp Tooth Shotgun, which is based on the Epic and Legendary versions of the OG Pump Shotgun (also known as the SPAS).

Here’s how you can get it on the Fortnite island and whether it’s any better than the other shotguns in the game.

How to get Sharp Tooth Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3

The new Sharp Tooth Shotgun is very similar to the SPAS from Fortnite’s early chapters, however this time it can be found in every rarity from common to legendary. The weapon is an improved variant of the OG Pump, boasting a smaller spread and greater range.

In Chapter 4 Season 3, the Sharp Tooth Shotgun can be easily found in chests and as floor loot. It would be wise to search the island for vending machines selling shotguns, as this could be your next best option for acquiring the weapon.

Alternatively, during a Battle Royale match, you can find Epic or Legendary versions of the shotgun in Holo Chests or a Combat Cache. This season’s arsenal now includes six shotguns, with the latest addition joining the Havoc Pump, Maven Auto, Heisted Breacher, Heisted Accelerant and Drum Shotguns.

Is the Sharp Tooth Shotgun good in Fortnite?

The Sharp Tooth Shotgun is a great weapon for Fortnite players who enjoy close-range combat, box fights, or dealing significant damage to their opponents in a single shot. The Sharp weapon’s damage stats and greater range make up for its smaller 4-round magazine and slower fire rate.

A single shot to the body does 113 damage, while a headshot can do up to 180, making it as potent as the OG pump. The Sharp Tooth is also effective when used at mid-range, much like a combat shotgun.

If you’re looking for a powerful shotgun to add to your arsenal, go no further than the all-new Sharp Tooth Shotgun. It is currently available in all rarities across all game modes.
