There is a new trailer about Fortnite. It introduces a new weapon that could soon arrive in the game.
What kind of trailer is this? This trailer was shown during the Pro-Am stream by Epic. This stream is a kind of tournament for Fortnite that was also showcased last year.
The trailer mainly focuses on a new weapon that is likely coming to Fortnite. No further details are available at this time.
Is a flare gun coming to Fortnite?
This is the trailer: We are embedding the trailer here. It lasts only 45 seconds:
What do you see? You see a man on a deserted island, hoping for rescue. Above him, the Battle Bus from Fortnite flies by.
There the man sees a chance and fires a flare gun at the Battle Bus. The cartridge hits the bus, and it crashes. After that, the familiar “Victory Royale” from Fortnite appears.
What is there to know about the weapon? When watching the trailer, it appears that the gun works like any other flare gun. It shoots a large red flare into the sky.
The weapon is likely to come to the game soon if Epic is already showing it in a trailer. When exactly that will be is not known.
However, it may also be that this is more of a joke, and the weapon may not actually be coming. This remains to be seen.
Update June 18th: 10:06: It seems that the weapon is just a joke. This is indicated by a tweet from an Epic employee.
How are the players reacting? The fans are still a bit skeptical. There is still too little known about it to make hasty conclusions.
It is suspected that the weapon will only have one shot in the magazine, but that it should be quite powerful. Many players hope that the flare gun will not be too strong, as has been the case with other weapons.
What else was cool: Also at the Pro-Am, there was a little cartoon where 3 particularly cool skins mock a 4th one who is not as “bad ass” and “edgy” as they are.
