How does the Double Pump mechanic work in Fortnite?

The Double Pump mechanic allows players to fire alternately with two Pump Shotguns.

Players equip two Pump Shotguns in adjacent inventory slots to quickly switch between them during combat. This tactic significantly increases the rate of fire.

This strategy was highly popular among players in Fortnite’s very first chapter but was eventually removed from the game.
