Leaked Fortnite Update Suggests Return of Controversial Mythic Weapons

A recent Fortnite leak suggests that Midas' Drum Gun and Brutus' Minigun could make a comeback in Chapter 6 Season 2. While Midas' weapon has been a fan favorite, Brutus' Minigun has sparked controversy among players due to its overpowered nature and structure-shredding abilities.

Heist-Themed Season & Midas’ Return

• Chapter 6 Season 2 revolves around heists, letting players blast open vault doors, armored cars, and other high-security locations.
• Midas recently returned in the Battle Pass, but with a fresh look—ditching his classic suit for longer hair and casual streetwear.
• Fortnite also introduced Big Dill, currently involved in a rap feud with T-Pain, sparking speculation about a potential T-Pain skin and cosmetics.

The Leak & Fan Reactions

• Leaker HYPEX claimed on Twitter that Midas' Drum Gun and Brutus' Minigun will return in Chapter 6 Season 2.
• Many players aren't thrilled about Brutus' Minigun, arguing it disrupts game balance by tearing through builds effortlessly.
• Fans noted that both weapons recently appeared in the Chapter 2 Remix season as mythic items for Snoop Dogg and Eminem.

Potential Impact on Competitive Play

• Some players pointed out that Epic Games recently vaulted the Mammoth Pistol in competitive modes, yet may now bring back an equally overpowered weapon.
• It remains unclear whether the minigun will be available in all modes or limited to casual play.

What’s Next for Brutus?

• While Midas' return hinted at the Drum Gun's comeback, Brutus wasn’t expected to play a role in Chapter 6 Season 2.
• However, he could become a key figure later in the season.

As with any leak, details could change before release. Still, with new content rolling out, Fortnite players remain eager to see what’s next.
