| Introduced | Patch 5.20 |
| Vaulted | Patch 7.00 |
Double Barrel Shotgun was a shotgun in Battle Royale. It was available in Epic and Legendary variants. It deals high damage at very close range but damage falls off heavily at the range of other Shotguns. It uses Shells 'n' Slugs and fires 10 pellets like other Shotguns, but has a larger spread, a lower headshot multiplier (1.25x), and a 2 second cooldown timer when swapping to other shotguns.
The Double Barrel Shotgun was vaulted as of the initial release of Season 7 on patch 7.00, therefore making it only available in Playground, Creative and the Wild West LTM.
