In Patch 8.20 of Fortnite , data miners have discovered a new weapon that is expected to come to the game soon. This is an explosive bow.
What kind of weapon is this? The found bow was already seen in the loading screen for Season 8. There, the pirate pistol, which was the last weapon introduced to the game, and the treasure map were also shown.
The bow is not yet in the game, but data miners suspect it will come soon.
What is known about the explosive bow
How was the weapon discovered? Data miners search for changes directly in the new patches of Fortnite. This was also the case with patch 8.20. During this process, a data miner came across the bow, which was hidden in the patch.
How is the bow supposed to work? Not much is known about how it will function. However, it is advertised as an “explosive bow”. Therefore, it can be assumed that the weapon will shoot arrows that explode upon impact.
This is what Epic says: The developers of Fortnite have not announced the bow yet, but they are already hinting at the new weapon.
In the loading screen for Week 5 of Season 8 , a skin holding this bow can already be seen. This indicates that Epic plans to do something with the weapon in the near future.
Despite all the hints and the discovery by data miners, there is no guarantee that the weapon will come to the game soon. For now, it remains just a find, and Epic will show what they plan to do with the bow.
What else has been found? In addition to the new weapon, many new skins have also been discovered that are likely to be coming soon. We have also summarized what else is officially stated in the patch notes of 8.20 for you.
