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 bears resemblance to a sawed off shotgun with double barrels, which may be why its bullet spread is very wide, considering that sawing off a shotgun greatly diminishes its range.
