FortniteChapter 6 Season 2 has just begun, and with it, leaks about upcoming updates are already coming out.
One of the most interesting leaks so far is the Pump & Dump gun. First teased in theofficial Chapter 6, Season 2 gameplay trailer, Epic Games later confirmed in ablog postthat the weapon will arrive inFortniteupdate v34.10, which is expected to be the next major patch.
While the trailer made it seem like a character was wielding two pump shotguns at once, turning the iconic dual pump into a single weapon, new leaks from @LpLeaksNews on X reveal that’s not exactly the case.
Fortnite’sPump & Dump is actually a shotgun-SMG dual-wield weapon
A video shared by @LpLeaksNews confirms that the Pump & Dump is a dual-wield hybrid, with the player holding an SMG in the left hand and a pump shotgun in the right. The weapon uses both Pistol and Shotgun ammo simultaneously.
The leak also shows the Pump & Dump in Mythic rarity, though it’s unclear if lower rarities will be added or if the weapon is so powerful that it will remain Mythic-exclusive.

From the leaked video, it appears that each weapon can be fired independently, likely by pressing the primary and alternate fire buttons. The Pump & Dump’s two weapons reload separately, meaning players can either fire both simultaneously for a devastating short- to mid-range burst, or alternate shots to eliminate downtime while reloading one hand.
The video also shows the gun stats for each hand:
Individually, both weapons in the Pump & Dump are weaker than standalone Mythic SMGs and shotguns. This is likely a balancing choice, considering that players can fire both simultaneously, preventing them from being as powerful as other Mythics or even some Legendaries.
According to the leaker, they got the gun through Supply Drops in Team Rumble in the Feb. 21 update of the game. However, since the gun wasn’t supposed to be released, Epic Games deployed a hotfix and removed it from the loot pool. The Pump & Dump is reportedly set to release on March 11.
