R/FORTnITE: The developer supported, community run subreddit dedicated to Fortnite: Save the World from Epic Games. Opinions regarding the Backbreaker Shotgun. Hey all, I've been wanting to level up the backbreaker that I have, but because of my general lack of Schematic XP I wanted to get some feedback first. Backbreaker is often a Legendary Semi-Auto Shotgun in Save the Planet and makes use of Shells 'n' Slugs. The weapon uses good rate-of-fire and range, combined with decent knockback, to make a versatile and well-rounded shotgun.

I have roomsweeper, backbreaker and longarm enforcer @ 30. So I'll just pretend the roomsweeper = tigerjaw.Backbreaker fills a very unique roll in that it delivers the massive imapct of a break action shotgun, but allows for quick reloads and large magazine.

It doesn't deliver dps on the same level of an auto shotgun or its cousin the enforcer.The utility of the Backbreaker is that if used against on level targets, it guarantees a knockback on anything below a smasher. If this is appealing for you, then sure its a good choice. If dps is what you're after, go with the tigerjaw.In terms of rolls you had better luck on the Tigerjaw. Rate of fire on backbreaker is not necessary, since anything you hit will be tumbling on the ground anyway. Thank you so much for your fast reply.I am currently still using a purple Templar which I quite like. It sounds as if the way of playing with the Backbreaker should be closer to the Templar, I guess. Not too keen on knockback though (it's a plus but not necessary).
I just like being able to finish of normal enemies with just a few shots. That said, I don't think I need the recoil reduction on the Backbreaker at all. Which one would you use? Is the roll on the Tigerjaw worth it (to choose it over the Backbreaker)? Which one would you prefer?. If you just want to kill things quick, tigerjaw will beat out the backbreaker, especially given those rolls. The backbreaker don't need recoil in the same sense that it doesnt need rate of fire, one shot sends the husk flying, you can take your time aiming after that.
Note that the backbreaker makes rapid headshots impossible, since it sends them flying. Its very fun to use in certain situations, ie protecting a survivor, or keeping husky husks and laser guys inside your trap tunnel. In those cases, its a very efficient weapon to use.If there was a hero with shotgun bonuses, I would say to level up tigerjaw + backbreaker + any med range shotgun. But since they haven't released one, I say go with Tigerjaw until you have enough xp to throw around. I had s backbreaker. All it does is knock husks around with a big time ammo inefficiency.
I kept trying to use it but i wound up Dustin it for mybledgendary transform.There are some people that swear by it though. I think it's more useful as crowd control. It just didn't kill the enemy quickly. I could kill a husk in 1 -2 shots with my legendary bear shotty. With the backbreaker in the same situation I'd burn 12 shots and have 2 or 3 half health husksI could see it used as a way to push the baddies away from you to run, like an 'oh shit' button but that's about it.
