‘Fortnite’ Rumors: 3 Of The Game’s Weirdest Weapons Leaked – What To Know
KEY POINTS
- A "Fortnite" leaker shared videos of three new weapons that could become available in the game in the future
- One weapon leaked is a gun that shoots garden gnomes – complete with red hats – at enemies
- Another leaked weapon is called "Tinstack" and can lob stacks of explosives at any target
“Fortnite” remains one of the most popular titles even after it got banned from Apple’s App Store. The developers behind it, Epic Games, continue to work on new content that appeals to old and new players and makes gameplay more fun than ever.
A Twitter leaker who goes by the name “mix” recently shared videos of three new weapons that could become available in the game in the future. All three of them appear to be designed to bring lots of fun into the already exciting shooter title.
Here’s a quick look at the three weapons that may or may not debut in the near future.
Gnome Gun
First is the so-called “Gnome Gun.” This weapon may not look like much, but it shoots garden gnomes – complete with red hats – at enemies. According to the video the leaker shared, it’s a handgun that shoots out gnomes head-first. The gnomes make quirky sounds upon firing and disappear upon hitting surfaces.
The leaker said it’s a “dev-only weapon,” which means it might not be released to the public. Comicbook noted, however, that it won’t be logical to waste all the effort put into creating a cool gun only to limit it to the devs.
Troll Launcher
Next is the “Troll Launcher.” This is a “heavy weapon” that “launches explosive trolls,” the tipster said.
The video shows that it’s a rocket launcher that lets players shoot four rounds between reloads. The rockets don’t look like “trolls,” as in those found in the “Lord of the Rings.” The description could simply mean it’s a weapon used to “troll” or pull pranks on people.
That said, it’s an explosive weapon that looks powerful. The bullets seem to explode twice based on the video: first upon firing and then upon hitting the target. Some might think it’s overpowered, but there’s nothing to worry about – the leaker says it’s “most likely scrapped.”
TinStack Gun
Lastly, there’s the “TinStack” weapon. The leaker didn’t provide any explanation as to why it’s called that, but the video, which provides an early look at the weapon, revealed that it could easily lob stacks of explosives at any target.
This weapon is best described as a “grenade minigun,” according to a Twitter user. It lets users shoot explosive rounds in quick succession as if it’s a mini-gun loaded with a barrel full of grenades.
The leaker shared all three weapons a day after Christmas. It’s currently unknown if all three will become available in the future.
