- Despite disagreements, there seems to be a consensus that skilled play remains critical to victory.
The Joy of Winning
There’s certainly a thrill in leveraging the drum shotgun to turn the tide in your favor, as voiced by ‘Space_Woof’, who finds being at the winning end of a firefight a lot of fun.

The ‘No Skill’ Controversy
On the other end of the spectrum, players like [“abeksR”](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/184aku3/personally_i_love_the_drum_shotgun_hasnt_ruined/kau5o4q/) are of the view that the drum shotgun requires little to no skill and the wins feel ‘cheap’. A similar thought is expressed by [“Alderiuz”](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/184aku3/personally_i_love_the_drum_shotgun_hasnt_ruined/katys92/), highlighting players’ inability to counter close-quarter weapons in the open map of Fortnite.
The Art of the Distance
Yet others like [“Dil_356”](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/184aku3/personally_i_love_the_drum_shotgun_hasnt_ruined/kaua758/) suggest a strategic approach. By keeping their distance during combat, players can avoid the deadly impact of the drum shotgun and continue to enjoy the game.
Fresh Season, New Balance?
