Fortnite Wood Stake Shotgun: Stats

The Wood Stake Shotgun fires wooden stakes capable of inflicting substantial damage at close quarters. Originally designed to combat vampires and undead, players are utilizing it against real adversaries. Unlike traditional shotguns, this semi-automatic weapon fires a single precise stake, requiring accurate aiming due to its poor hip fire performance. Notably, it deals 1.5x more damage against Fortnite’s bite Kado Thorne and the cube monsters. The Wood Stake Shotgun is available in rare, epic, and legendary rarities, each offering increased damage without altering the rate of fire or magazine size. Here are the stats for the Wood Stake Shotgun:

• Rare: DPS 119.6, Damage (body) 92, Mag Size 4, Fire Rate 1.3, Reload Time 4.28s
• Epic: DPS 126.1, Damage (body) 97, Mag Size 4, Fire Rate 1.3, Reload Time 4.06s

How To Get The Wood Stake Shotgun

During the Halloween event, the Wood Stake Shotgun is widely available across the island. You can find it on the ground, inside regular chests, rare chests, and holo chests.

Familiarizing yourself with all the upgrade bench locations in Chapter 4 can enhance your chances of obtaining the elusive legendary variant.
