To do this, gamers will need to stock up on thermite and head to the nearest bank, vault, or armored car.

In a recent post on Twitter, Epic Games announced that it has removed numerous weapons from the tournament loot pool, including Fletcher Kane’s Double Down Pistol, the Mammoth Pistol, and theFalcon Eye Sniper inFortnite. The Mammoth Pistol fires a single shot that’s even more powerful than the game’s Hand Cannon weapon, which hasn’t been seen in several seasons. Some fans recently expressed that they were unhappy with the Falcon Eye Sniper and believe the weapon is bugged. When aiming down the scope, some skins lose their hair. A few players have even claimed that they can’t see through the scope at all due to a skin’s animation, like Ghost Rider’s flames.

The prominent datamineriFireMonkey also sharedthat Epic Games has disabled the ability to purchase the Outlaw Shotgun fromBlack Markets inFortnitetournaments. Many fans found this to be an interesting development, as the weapon is currently unreleased. Some believe this means the gun could be coming soon and will be left out of tournaments from the start. According to leakers, the shotgun will have a very short range and a small magazine, meaning it’s designed to deal high amounts of damage at close quarters.
It’s not uncommon forFortniteto remove items from tournaments, especially ones that prove to be overpowered or controversial in the game’s normal modes. During the battle royale’s Marvel-themed season, items that gave players superpowers were regularly removed from competitive play as they proved to be too dominant on the battlefield. Despite a few hiccups with the loot pool in tournaments, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future ofFortnite.
