Fortnite developer Epic Games has confirmed via an in-game message that the leaked Flintlock pistol will be released into the game. The gun, which was uncovered during the v.8.10 patch by prolific dataminer Lucas7yoshiis said to have been hidden in the games files.
Much like a real Flintlock Pistol, stats and animations leaked during the datamine have revealed the weapon is likely to pack something of a punch. It’ll likely be able to one-shot opponents. Lucas7yoshi also uncovered audio files in the datamine, which seem to confirm the sheer impact of the gun’s shot.
The teaser image has confirmed that the gun will have an Uncommon Rarity. The gun is already causing a stir in online forums, with some hoping that it will work as a bridge between a standard pistol and the coveted Sniper Rifle.
There’s likely to be more info soon, though players are already growing restless awaiting the next weapon announcement.
The announcement of the Flintlock pistol comes just days after the announcement of whacky vehicle The Baller.
