Veteran Fortnite players – as much as one can be a veteran of a game that’s only been out for a little over a year – will remember a dark time in the game’s history: the Double-Pump era. A time when 15 minutes of careful play could come to an abrupt close at the wrong end of not one, but two Pump Shotguns.

It was strategy that did require a little skill to pull off, but was particularly frustrating to be on the wrong end of. Players worked out that two shots from the weapon – which did huge damage at close range – took longer than firing a shot from one shotgun, switching to another, and firing again. Learning to execute the simple combo provided a means to obliterate an opponent within a couple of seconds, before they could get out of the way.

Eventually, the strategy was patched out of the game, much to the chagrin of those who built the meta around it. Sadly though, it’s now reared its ugly head elsewhere – in Apex Legends.
