Fortnite Reload has been the most popular mode in the game over the past few days. Released on Saturday, the mode has already had millions of players. Considering that it comes in both classic and Zero Build variants, many players decided to give it a shot. Fortunately, the mode will get a lot of new content in the future.

According to a new leak, Epic Games will bring several fan-favorite weapons to the fast-paced mode soon. At the moment, the loot pool mostly includes weapons and items from Fortnite Chapter 1. However, this will change soon, as many other items will come to it.

Fortnite Reload will soon get some of the iconic weapons

Wenso, a veteran Fortnite leaker, claims that Epic is planning on releasing at least seven more weapons to the new game mode. These weapons were available throughout the first four chapters of the game, and some of them haven’t returned in years. Due to this, many players will be delighted to hear that their return is around the corner.

The leaker shared the list of the following weapons that will come to Fortnite Reload:

  • Thunder Shotgun
  • Twin Mag SMG
  • Striker Burst Rifle
  • Mammoth Pistol
  • Rapid Fire SMG
  • Grenade Launcher
  • MK-7 Assault Rifle

The leaker claims that all of these Fortnite weapons will come in multiple variants, including Legendary. Some weapons, like the Thunder Shotgun, will have five different rarities, ranging from Common (Gray) to Legendary (Gold), while the Rapid Fire SMG will only come in two rarities and the Grenade Launcher in three.

At the moment, the release date of these weapons is unknown. However, considering that Epic Games is on summer break, we may not get them for a few more weeks. It appears that Fortnite Reload is a permanent mode, which is why we expect a lot of new content to come to it, including Duos and Trios playlists.
