Fortnite could be getting a Quad Rocket Launcher and a Flamethrower

A host of new Fortnite items and weapons seem to be heading to Battle Royale. Dataminers have uncovered three new weapons, as well as a new item, in the files of Fortnite’s recent 5.3 patch. We’ll start with the simplest weapon of the bunch, the Suppressed Assault Rifle. This weapon already exists in Fortnite’s Save The World mode, but seems to be heading to Battle Royale at some point in the future. Its description reads that it’s a burst rifle “that allows for precise targeting in mobile mid-range engagements. Deals good damage, but consumes its magazine very quickly.” It’ll be available in Epic and Legendary rarities. While it seems like it could be a powerful way of getting at your enemies without letting them know where you are, those small magazines will be a good way of keeping it in check. Far more exotic weapons, however, can be found elsewhere, because Fortnite also seems to be getting a Flamethrower and a massive Quad Launcher, as well as a mysterious new throwable item.
