Is Double Pump Shotgun Meta returning in Fortnite OG? Everything you need to know

The classic strategy makes a comeback

The excitement for the upcoming Fortnite OG chapter 1 is already very high among the fans and now even the Double Pump is making a comeback. This has been confirmed by Epic Games and it will be available on December 6, 2024.

This famous tactic, which allowed players to quickly switch between two Pump Shotguns and fire without delay, was a game-changer in the original game. Let’s check out more details in this article.

What is the Double Pump?

Back in the day, players used to equip two pump shotguns, exploiting the game mechanics where you can switch between them for a faster firing rate. This increases the chances of killing your opponent in an instant.

This tactic, made popular by streamer Daequan “Daequan” Loco, became a meta-defining strategy until Epic Games removed it due to balancing difficulties.

Epic Games Announcement

Fortnite’s official Twitch account recently dropped this bombshell where they revealed, “hey chat…double pump returning Dec 6 with OG chapter 1 season 1 btw.”

This revelation has renewed interest in the community, particularly among those who miss the game’s original quirks and metas.

The Impact of Double Pump in Fortnite

There is a very good chance that we will be seeing the Double Pump era coming back with the new update. It would be interesting to see how effective they are going to be from the past. I think we might see the new meta soon with the OG chapter 1.

This decision by Epic Games demonstrates their desire to honor the game’s legacy while also creating a new experience for both returning and new players.

The announcement has sparked excitement on social media and gaming forums, with fans anxious for the return of this classic approach. Fortnite’s social media has echoed this excitement, presumably resulting in millions of impressions and discussions. What are your thoughts about this? Do let us know in the comment section.
