Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is just around the corner and now the first new weapons have been leaked, including one that could dominate the gameplay in the new season.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is set to start on March 8th, if all goes according to plan. So, it's no wonder that new leaks are surfacing on the internet every day. Alongside the new Battle Pass Skins, the first weapon to come into play has now even been leaked: A new Tactical Shotgun. We have the details for you.
Fortnite: New Tactical Shotgun Leaked For Chapter 5 Season 2
The leaks, as often, come from our good friend and Fortnite Leaker Hypex. He discovered the following weapon in the files:
UPCOMING TAC SHOTGUN (Stats could slightly change but this what Fortnite been playtesting)
— HYPEX (@HYPEX) February 28, 2024
6 Bullets AND reloads the whole clip at once
Reload Time: 4.2s to 3.6s
Fire Rate is 1 (Hammer Pump is 30% slower)
Damage: 79/84/88/93/97
Headshot: 119/126/132/139/145 pic.twitter.com/5R4uW67OFF
The weapon is a new version of the Tac Shotgun that appears and disappears in the game from time to time. Unlike the Pumpgun, this weapon deals less damage, but shoots much faster.
Hypex also posted the stats for the weapon, but with the note that these could still change:
- 6 bullets AND reloads the entire magazine at once
- Reload Time: 4.2s to 3.6s
- Fire Rate: 1
- Damage: 79/84/88/93/97
- Headshot Damage: 119/126/132/139/145
Most players are pretty hyped about the new weapon, while others believe that it could also be too OP, especially for controller players.
We'll have to wait until the weapon is actually in the game to get a final picture of it. Until then, stay hyped and enjoy the last days of the old season.
