Fortnite v9.30 content update #2 patch notes – New Drum shotgun added

Epic Games have released part two of the Fortnite v9.30 content update, bringing the new Drum Shotgun to the battle royale game mode, as well as some new prefabs for Creative and the Boom Bow arrives in Save the World.

With the entirety of the development studio off for a well-deserved summer break, Epic have set some scheduled updates to go live to keep avid players entertained.

There’s also the 14 Days of Summer event, which grants a new challenge and reward every day for players, so there is still plenty to do.

In addition to unvaulting a new weapon every day, they have also added a brand new weapon into the mix for battle royale, and it’s yet another shotgun.

This new weapon features a unique drum magazine design, hence its name, and will deal a hefty 45 / 47 / 50 points of damage per shot (depending on the rarity).

Coming in three different rarities – common, uncommon and rare – it’s available as floor loot as well as from vending machines and Loot Carriers, finding the new weapon shouldn’t be too tricky.

If you’re looking to take a break from the battle royale mode though, there’s also some content for Creative and Save the World.

Another new set of prefabs and galleries will allow you to use the buildings seen in Paradise Palms in Creative mode, and four ‘festive heroes have returned to Save the World.
