The Heavy Shotgun can be acquired from Chests, floor loot, Supply Drops, and Sharks in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1. Unlike other shotguns, the Heavy Shotgun fires only 1 pellet at a time that deals high damage. Players can find Common to Legendary variants of the Heavy Shotgun after this recent update. Prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX details the info in the tweet below:

The Common variant of the Heavy Shotgun deals 142 headshot damage and 81 body damage with a reload time of 4.8 seconds. However, the Legendary variant is a one-tap machine for players with impeccable aim. It deals 173 headshot damage and 99 body damage with a reload time of 3.9 seconds.

Even headshots with the Rare variant of the Heavy Shotgun deal enough damage to knock opponents during a team fight. Make sure to practice with this weapon before jumping into a match, as lining up those headshots can be tricky with this weapon.
