Extending Focus Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3: Long-Range Shotgun Guide

The Extending Focus Shotgun has a barrel that lengthens as spread tightens across a 3-round volley, giving it the longest effective range of any shotgun. A Mythic version drops from the boss Skeletor, who rotates between Calamari Canyon and Frosted Flats.

Weapon Overview

The Extending Focus Shotgun has a unique mechanic: its barrel extends as you fire, tightening the spread across a 3-round volley. This gives it the longest effective range of any shotgun currently in the loot pool.

How It Works

• Fires a 3-round volley with increasing accuracy
• First shot: wider spread (standard shotgun behavior)
• Second shot: slightly tighter spread
• Third shot: tightest spread, longest effective range
• The barrel physically lengthens with each shot
• Reloading resets the volley

Where to Find It

• Floor loot (standard drop rate)
• Chests (common to rare)
• Vending machines
• Mythic version: dropped by Skeletor boss

Mythic Extending Focus Shotgun

The Mythic Reacher Extending Shotgun drops from Skeletor, one of the three roaming bosses. Skeletor rotates between Calamari Canyon and Frosted Flats. Look for the red skull icon on the map within 200m. The Mythic version has increased damage and range. Note: Skeletor may drop a Legendary version instead depending on RNG.

Combat Tips

• Use the third shot for mid-range engagements
• Start your volley before peeking — fire, peek, fire, peek
• Pairs well with the Chaos Exploder Rifle
• Effective against buildings — the tight third shot hits through edits
• The volley system rewards patience and accuracy
