In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a new weapon is coming soon: The Scoped Revolver. However, the prospect of a new gun has not only brought joy to the community.
Which weapon is new in Fortnite? Recently, a new weapon was teased in Fortnite. It is a heavy revolver with a scope.
The weapon is said to be very precise and hit hard. That sounds good, but many fans fear that their old favorite pistol might have to go.
Hands off the Hand Cannon!
This is what the fans fear: As soon as the new weapon was announced, criticism arose in the Fortnite Reddit community. Fortnite doesn’t just add new weapons to the game without removing other items in return.
Often, a new weapon means the farewell of an old cannon. Sometimes it hits items that no one wanted anyway, like the old revolver. But sometimes it also involves weapons that were dearly loved by the community.
A prominent example here was the Tommy Gun, which many fans still miss.
This weapon might soon be removed: Since the Scoped Revolver deals significant damage at long range, it overlaps with the Desert Eagle, the “Hand Cannon.” This heavy pistol has been in the game for a long time and is preferred by many players for precise kills.
Since it doesn’t make much sense for two very similar weapons to exist in the game, many suspect that the Hand Cannon will be the one to go.
This, in turn, does not sit well with fans of the gun, and discussions are already buzzing on Reddit about whether Epic will take this unpopular step.
In case the Hand Cannon is removed, some fans have already threatened to uninstall Fortnite. Others predict a short life for the new weapon, as all revolvers so far have been removed from the game, most recently the useless gun for many players.
