Epic keeps jamming more incredible shotguns into Fortnite, and it might be the best meta ever

In Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2, the shotgun category has expanded to four options: the Chaos Reloader, Iron Pump, Super Shredder, and Dual Hammer. The Chaos Reloader delivers 150 damage per shot but requires precision and careful management of reload time. The Iron Pump has a 2x headshot multiplier but lower body damage per second. The Super Shredder is versatile but complicates close-range engagements due to its aiming requirement. The Dual Hammer, while consistent, lacks one-shot power against agile opponents. This season emphasizes diverse weapon choices and playstyles, enhancing gameplay variety and strategic loadout decisions. The introduction of SMGs further enriches the loot pool, making shotgun selection crucial for individual and team dynamics.

A minor Fallout: New Vegas quest got its own ending slide because the team was transfixed by the choice where you make the NCR’s worst soldiers take Psycho

Josh Sawyer, design director at Obsidian, discussed the subjective criteria for selecting quests that receive ending slides in their RPGs, with the game's director making the final decision. Individual designers rarely advocate for their own quests to be included. He highlighted the quest "Flags of Our Foul-Ups," where NCR soldiers face dire consequences due to their incompetence. Players can use various skills or the fictional stimulant "Psycho" to influence the outcome. The team concluded that using Psycho could lead to chaos and war crimes, prompting the inclusion of ending slides that detail the soldiers' grim fate. Sawyer emphasized the importance of capturing major narrative beats in these slides, while also acknowledging the logistical challenges of creating them, including time limits and the need to illustrate and record multiple endings for companions.
