Fortnite’s leaked dual shotgun is not exactly what it seems—but it still looks OP

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 has just begun, and with it, leaks about upcoming updates are already coming out.

One of the most interesting leaks so far is the Pump & Dump gun. First teased in the official Chapter 6, Season 2 gameplay trailer, Epic Games later confirmed in a blog post that the weapon will arrive in Fortnite update v34.10, which is expected to be the next major patch.

While the trailer made it seem like a character was wielding two pump shotguns at once, turning the iconic dual pump into a single weapon, new leaks from @LpLeaksNews on X reveal that’s not exactly the case.

Fortnite's Pump & Dump is actually a shotgun-SMG dual-wield weapon

A video shared by @LpLeaksNews confirms that the Pump & Dump is a dual-wield hybrid, with the player holding an SMG in the left hand and a pump shotgun in the right. The weapon uses both Pistol and Shotgun ammo simultaneously.

The leak also shows the Pump & Dump in Mythic rarity, though it's unclear if lower rarities will be added or if the weapon is so powerful that it will remain Mythic-exclusive. According to the leaker, they got the gun through Supply Drops in the current version of the game, even though this should be impossible.

From the leaked video, it appears that each weapon can be fired independently, likely by pressing the primary and alternate fire buttons. The Pump & Dump’s two weapons reload separately, meaning players can either fire both simultaneously for a devastating short- to mid-range burst, or alternate shots to eliminate downtime while reloading one hand.

The video also shows the gun stats for each hand:

Weapon	Damage	Magazine Size	Fire Rate	Reload Time
Pump Shotgun (right hand)	92	4	0.95	1.57
SMG (left hand)	15	30	10	1.57

Individually, both weapons in the Pump & Dump are weaker than standalone Mythic SMGs and shotguns. This is likely a balancing choice, considering that players can fire both simultaneously, preventing them from being as powerful as other Mythics or even some Legendaries.

According to the leaker, the Pump & Dump is set to release on March 11.
