Sweeper Shotgun in Fortnite
Override v42.10 unvault. v42.40 slightly increased fire rate — confirm in-game.
At Legendary, it deals 82.5 body damage at 1.53 shots per second (126.225 DPS), with a 7-round mag and 5.20s reload. Structure damage is 6.6. Rarities in the encyclopedia: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic.
The Mythic row is 85.8 body / 131.274 DPS / 7 mag — boss or medallion loot, not what you should plan a floor drop around.
Sweeper Shotgun’s Legendary DPS of 126.225 is about even with the encyclopedia median of 132.1 DPS for this category.
Earliest balance row on FortniteTools is September 3, 2026 — Override (v42.10) (2026-09-03). That is when we logged it — not necessarily when Epic first added it.
- follow-up / auto cadence — 1.53 fire rate at Legendary.
- Against 150 HP it is 2 body shots (0.65s TTK), or 2 headshots at 1.5× (0.65s). A 7-round mag can finish 150 HP without a reload.
- Slow 5.20s reload — empty mag is a long punish.
- Auto / follow-up shotgun: hold or mash rather than treating it like a classic pump.
- Auto shotgun between 8-Bit and pump: more pellets over time than a pump, less dump than 8-Bit.
