A new one Fortnite leak has revealed two of the craziest weapons to date, though it’s unclear if any of the Android, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and Xbox One games will arrive, and if they are, whether or not they will be added during season 5 or will be carried out for a future season. The first of the two newly leaked weapons is Gnome Gun, while the second is the troll launcher. And yes, they both do exactly what their names imply.
Word of the Gnome Gun and Troll Launcher is the highlight Fortnite Leaker and dataminer, “Mix,” who not only conveyed the word of the two unreleased weapons, but also shared a couple of videos showing them in action.
In addition to the videos, the leaker theorizes that Gnome Gun may be for developers only, although it is unclear why developers would need a Gnome Gun. Also, it’s not clear why it would bother you to create something so amazing and then not add it to the right game.
Talking to the Troll Launcher, the leaker also seems to think the weapon won’t come into play, but for another reason. More specifically, the leaker theorizes that it has been scrapped, that is, that it was already under construction, but is no longer under development.
