The iconic weapon has long been a fan-favorite in the Fortnite community ever since it was first released in the original Chapter as part of Season 8. With its pirate-themed aesthetic, the gun was always destined to make the perfect return with the arrival of a major Pirates of the Caribbean collab event.

Meanwhile, as Epic stated: “The rest of the crew will be sold in the Shop!” in regards to Elizabeth Swann, Davy Jones, Captain Barbossa, and Cursed Jack Sparrow skins.
