Fortnite’s 6th season added a pair of new Mythic weapons. You can only unblock them by defeating the game’s mini-bosses; one of these Mythic items is a powerful shotgun that can quickly dispatch even the game’s most challenging opponents. Currently, the Fortnite Mythical Primal Shotgun from the Spire Assassin is one of the rarest and most sought-after items.
Fortnite‘s second season, Season 2, introduced mythical weaponry. You might get them by killing the mini-boss guarding a specific map area. In Season 5, players had to track out specific NPCs worldwide to buy Mythic weapons for a substantial sum of money. Season 6 of Fortnite returns players to the classic gameplay of killing enemies and looting their bodies for the most powerful weapons and armor.
Spire Assassin’s Primal Shotgun Stats
The Primal Shotgun is a powerful weapon used by the Spire Assassins, dealing 40-70 points of damage at close range. The fast rate of fire, achieved by firing two shells at once in a chamber that holds 12, would quickly deplete your supply of ammunition.
Drum Shotgun, exclusive to LTMs since Chapter 2’s release, is the closest analog to this firearm. This Mythic is far superior to that weapon, yet it is pretty challenging to steal it from the Spire Assassin.
Spire Assassin’s Primal Shotgun Location
It’s not simple to get your hands on the Primal Shotgun of the Spire Assassin without first eliminating the Spiral Assassin. You can find her at the new hub in the heart of the Fortnite map, The Spire. On most occasions, she can be found somewhat close to the pinnacle but never on it because The Foundation is frozen solid there. When you get close enough, you’ll be able to hear her voice, and her background music will begin playing.
Even without her apparent ability to harness the rift’s power to travel small distances, Spire Assassin’s 500+ shield and 100 HP make her an extremely formidable foe. Furthermore, her weapon is quite potent and can cause significant damage when used up close.
Keep your distance and utilize a rifle if you ever battle with Spire Assassin in Fortnite. Keep spraying her from a distance with shots, and she should go down. Until you get more proficient with all the new season’s mechanics and weapons, it’s best to do this with a friend or squad the first few times.
How To Get Fortnite’s Mythic Spire Assassin’s Primal Shotgun
Hunters must dispatch the new Spire Assassin to claim his Fortnite Mythical Primal Shotgun. If you’re looking for the Battle Pass tier 100 skin, you can find this hostile NPC patrolling The Spire. This new point of interest (POI) in the middle of the map appears in the Fortnite Season 6 trailer.
The Spire Assassin will be free to explore the city in search of unsuspecting players to eliminate, armed to the teeth with a shotgun and a Primal Rifle. Players should constantly seek cover when they face her because of her pinpoint accuracy and high damage output.
She is already highly agile and dangerous because she can teleport through walls and around corners. Killing the Spire Assassin will result in her dropping her Mythic Shotgun. The little spires defended by Spire Guardians should not be confused with the prominent spire and the Spire Assassin.
Similarly, these NPCs will assault the player and teleport, but they won’t drop mythological weapons. Instead, you can obtain Mythic Spire Jump boots by bringing the special orbs Spire Guardians to drop to The Spire. In addition to the Primal Shotgun, the guardians will also drop legendary or epic weapons. However, they are less potent.
