Save the World and Battle Royale were released in 2017 as early access titles, while Creative was released on December 6, 2018.

What is the Heavy Shotgun?
If we talk about Heavy Shotgun, it is a shotgun weapon which is a heavy version of the common and unusual tactical shotgun and is available in Rare, Epic and Legendary ratings. The Heavy Shotgun operates on a pump-action mechanism and is known for its x2.5 headshot multiplier.
Heavy Shotgun was vaulted in patch 7.30, which makes it available only in Playground and Creative. The main reason for this was the addition of the Epic and the legendary pump shotgun which made the weapon obsolete.
