Fortnite enthusiasts, get ready for some exciting news! Dataminers have unveiled a sneak peek into the game’s future, revealing an unreleased weapon currently being playtested by the development team – a new DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle).
Familiar to Fortnite fans, DMRs have made appearances in various iterations in the past, including the Thermal DMR, standard DMR, and Tactical DMR, although they are currently vaulted. Let’s dive into the leaked details of Fortnite’s upcoming DMR and potential changes to the Tactical Shotgun.
Fortnite dataminer Hypex shared the details of the upcoming DMR in a tweet, disclosing that the weapon will be available in five rarities, each with corresponding damage values. Ranging from 58 to 70 damage, the DMR promises versatility across different scenarios. Additionally, build damage and headshot damage vary with each rarity, providing players with strategic options. The DMR’s reload time, clip size of seven bullets, and fire rate of 1.5 add depth to its gameplay. However, Hypex emphasized that these stats might see slight adjustments before the official release.
As Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 1 draws to a close on March 8, anticipation builds for the next season rumored to feature a Greek mythology theme. The leaked DMR and potential Tactical Shotgun changes might make their debut with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 2. These additions promise to spice up the gameplay and introduce fresh dynamics to keep players engaged.
In addition to the DMR leak, dataminers also unveiled potential changes to the Tactical Shotgun. With a smaller magazine, slightly increased damage, slower fire rate, and shortened reload time, the updated Tactical Shotgun could offer a new tactical edge in battles. Similar to the DMR, players may get their hands on this revamped shotgun when Chapter 5 Season 2 kicks off.
Dataminers have also uncovered hints of a crossover event with Avatar: The Last Airbender in Fortnite, set to commence during Chapter 5 Season 2. While speculation points to a late April launch, dataminers caution that the date could be a placeholder. Fans can look forward to the potential inclusion of beloved Avatar characters and exciting in-game events during this crossover.
Fortnite’s next season holds promises of new weapons, gameplay tweaks, and exciting collaborations. The leaked DMR and Tactical Shotgun changes, along with the potential Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover, add a layer of anticipation for the evolving Fortnite experience. As Chapter 5 Season 2 approaches, players can gear up for thrilling adventures in the ever-evolving world of Fortnite.
