Fortnite: Stats and footage of leaked Drum Shotgun and Revolver surfaces
Epic GamesLots of leaks surfaced after Epic Games released its v9.30 patch for Fortnite, and now data miners have managed to grab stats and footage for two upcoming weapons: the Drum Shotgun and the Revolver.
A new Fortnite update means a field day for data miners, as they try and extract any information on future content lined up for the game. The release of the v9.30 patch was no different, with leakers stopping at nothing to provide fans with an insight into upcoming additions.
While fresh skins and cosmetics were revealed, alongside the new Air Strike item, details on two new guns were also extracted: the Drum Shotgun, and the Revolver. Now, data miners have also obtained footage and stats for the weapons.
The Pump Shotgun was controversially removed in May – could the Drum Shotgun replace it?
The Drum Shotgun
Infamous Fortnite dataminer Lucas7yoshi leaked the Drum Shotgun upon finding it in the update files, but now he’s managed to dig out statistics for it too, giving players more of an insight as to how much damage it can deal.
The gun will be available in Common, Uncommon, and Rare rarity options, and could deal between 4-5 damage per second with a fire rate of 4 per second. Its reload time is also suspected to be between 4.3 and 4.7 seconds depending on rarity, with a magazine size of 12 bullets.
Another leaker KrispyLeaks also provided fans with footage as to how the shotgun could perform in-game.
