All-New Submachine Gun is Coming Soon to Fortnite Battle Royale

A new type of Submachine Gun is coming soon to Fortnite: Battle Royale, becoming the first new weapon added during the new Season 5.

The in-game Message of the Day announcement board in the pregame menu shows the new SMG with a light blue background and is noted to be coming soon.

Here is the new weapon as displayed in the announcement screen, with the following caption:

While this one appears to be a brand new weapon, it will remind longtime players of the older standard SMG, which was vaulted during Season 2.
