With the launch of Season 5 in Fortnite: Battle Royale, a new shotgun has arrived. This has a secret, fun feature that you probably haven’t discovered yet. We will show you what that is.
What kind of weapon is this? The Dragons-Breath Shotgun is one of the new weapons in Season 5 Chapter 2. As the name suggests, it is a shotgun that breathes fire like a dragon.
The whole thing doesn’t go unnoticed by players, as it deals 133 damage in the epic version, taking away a substantial amount of health points and shields. However, the slow reload time of 4.3 seconds might be bothersome for some with this weapon.
This is what the shotgun can do
Players discover secret feature: A shotgun that can breathe fire probably has more abilities, thought the player Nephix. He was in a match when he came across a campfire. Equipped with the Dragons-Breath Shotgun, he shot at the campfire. The clip was shared on reddit:
His shot actually did something: The campfire ignited and burned brightly. The player could now comfortably sit by the fire and benefit from its healing power.
If you don’t want to stand there and interact with the campfire to ignite it, you can simply use some ammunition from the shotgun. Whether that is actually better is something everyone has to decide for themselves.
“Fortnite is getting more realistic”
What does the community think of this “trick”? Under the clip on reddit, some players discuss this secret feature. Many wonder if it is truly useful, while others find it just a cool, funny detail. Some even make fun of the shotgun, saying:
- “Fortnite is getting more realistic.”
- “And while you’re waiting for your health to refill, the shotgun is almost reloaded again!”
- “Really cool, but also unnecessary. But it’s a cool detail.”
- “I would use this method if the shotgun didn’t take 45 years to reload again.”
- “It’s just a fun fact and not a trick because you’re just wasting ammunition.”
- “Thanks for this helpful tip! Instead of just pressing a button to ignite the fire, I can now waste 4 shells. Genius!”
The Dragon Shotgun is not the only weapon introduced in Season 5. Now there are exotic weapons that are rare and only obtainable from NPCs. They are also powerful and have special abilities. In our overview, we show you all the new exotic weapons of Season 5.
