Where can you find the Lever Action Shotgun in Fortnite?

Luckily the Lever Action Shotgun is very easy to acquire and can be found in all the places you would typically find weapons. This includes ground loot, in chests, in Holo-Chests, and in Supply Drones. Basically, even if you don’t go looking for the Lever Action Shotgun specifically, you’ll probably come across one eventually anyway.

How do you use the Lever Action Shotgun in Fortnite?

Like most shotguns, the best way to use the Lever Action Shotgun is to aim for headshots, up-close to enemies. Because of the spread of the pellets when firing, you want to be as close to someone when you use the shotgun as possible, to make sure most of the pellets hit. 

Common and Uncommon variants are capable of killing a player with three body shots, while the Rare and Legendary variants only require two, making it a great option to ambush someone with. If you’re using it up close, it’s also quite forgiving, as so long as you’re hitting the majority of the pellets, you’ll still deal some pretty hefty damage.

That’s everything you need to know about where to find the Fortnite Lever Action Shotgun and how to use it.
