How to master Double Pump in Fortnite OG? Step-by-Step guide

Execute the Double Pump like a pro

The Fortnite OG is currently on a roll, and with that, the famous Double Pump is also back in the game. The game is back to its roots and many new players are wondering how to master this weapon. 

In this article, we will talk about the skills, tips and tricks to use this gun and even defend yourself from it. Without wasting any more time, let’s get right into it.

How to use Double Pump

The double pump was formerly many Fortnite veterans’ secret weapon, allowing them to bypass the Pump Shotgun’s normal cooldown for a deadly one-two blow. Here’s how you can use it:

• Dual Pump Shotguns: First, check that you have two Pump Shotguns in your inventory. On consoles, place them side by side for rapid switching; PC users have more choices in this regard.
• Quick Swap and Fire: Engage your opponent, fire one Pump Shotgun, then quickly switch to the other to fire another shot. Timing is critical here; your aim must be accurate for maximum impact. If executed correctly, you could knock out or perhaps eliminate your opponent with just these two shots.

How to defend against it?

Even though it is somewhat overpowered, it’s totally possible to defend against this method. Here are some defensive strategies that you must try:

• Avoid close battle: It’s a brainer that this technique relies on close combat. So, try to keep some distance from your enemies. Go for the mid-range and long-range fights against them with AR and Sniper.
• Stay Vigilant: With the double pump back in play, players will become more aggressive. Visual Sound Effects provide a visual clue of opponent movements, providing you a minor advantage in anticipating attacks. For any Esports game, sound is very crucial.

• Build Wisely: Take full advantage of the building mechanic. Quickly construct walls or ramps to create barriers between you and the shooter, buying time to flee or counterattack.

Do remember that using this method to attack or defend will take a lot of practice. You won’t become good on a single try if you are new to double pump.
