In Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, there are only 3 shotguns to choose from: The Oni Shotgun, the Sentinel Pump Shotgun, and the Twinfire Auto Shotgun. Which shotgun is the best?
The best shotgun is definitely the Sentinel Pump, dealing the most damage. The sentinel pump also has a magazine size of 5. A headshot with a common sentinel shotgun can max at around 170 hp. A uncommon sentinel shotgun hits a max of 175 hp, and a rare sentinel shotgun hits for a max of 180 hp. The epic variant of the sentinel shotgun hits 190 hp, and the legendary version hits a max of 195 damage. Also, the mythic variant of the sentinel shotgun hits for a max of 205. This mythic variant can be obtained when killing the Shogun boss. (It cannot be obtained from the Shogun boss located on Shogun’s arena). Also, there is about a 10-20% chance of getting the mythic variant from the boss, otherwise you might get different mythics.
The second best shotgun is the Oni Shotgun. Again, the mythic variant can be obtained the same way that the sentinel pump can be obtained. The oni’s magazine size is 2. In action, the common version of the oni shotgun deals 130 hp, and the uncommon deals 135 hp. The rare variant of the oni deals 140 hp, while the epic hits 145 hp. Lastly, the legendary hits 150 hp. (This is the max headshot damage). The oni hits fast too.
The worst shotgun is the twinfire shotgun. It is like a Maven Auto Shotgun but deals less damage and reloads way slower. Overall, I feel like the sentinel pump shotgun is the best shotgun, for zero build and builds. The Oni Shotgun is pretty good still. Remember, although the Oni Shotgun shoots faster than the sentinel shotgun, it still isn’t as good. Even if you have an epic oni shotgun, you should probably drop it for a gray sentinel shotgun, for even a common sentinel hits for more than an epic Oni Shotgun.
