Fortnite’s next patch adds the Double Barrel Shotgun

There’s an array of powerful new weapons on the way for Fortnite, with a new shotgun and two new types of sniper rifles uncovered as part of the latest datamines. Now, the in-game news feed has confirmed the Double Barrel Shotgun is on the way soon. Judging by the leaks, we’re in store for a powerful new addition.

The in-game news feed says the new weapon will be a “new Epic and Legendary shotgun that can be fired twice in rapid succession.” This appears to be based on the break action archetype from from Save the World, which has shown up several times over in previous datamines.

Party up and head out in the best multiplayer games on PC.

A break barrel shotgun was noted in datamines by XDA, and has been listed as a break action shotgun on Storm Shield One - either way, it seems to be the weapon coming in the next patch. You’ve got a 13.2 damage rating with short range and fast fire rate, balanced out by a two-round magazine, so yes, it’s a quintessential double-barrel shotgun in more common parlance.

The new shotgun, Heavy Sniper, and Rail sniper all appear in the game files for the 5.2 patch, which was disseminated early with advance distributions of the game’s Android port. That’s no guarantee that the other two weapons will hit the game in the next patch - some of them have already been hanging around the files for some time - but we will at least have the new shotty.
