Fortnite Leak: New "Pump & Dump" Weapon Combining a Shotgun and SMG

The latest Fortnite leak has revealed a unique new weapon called "Pump & Dump", which is rumored to be added in the game's next update. This weapon combines the power of a shotgun with the speed of an SMG, allowing players to wield both types simultaneously.

This update will be the first major one for Fortnite since the launch of Chapter 6, Season 2 in February. The previous update introduced numerous gameplay changes, and this new weapon could significantly impact battle dynamics.

Fortnite's Evolution and the Impact of the New Weapon

Since its release in 2017, Fortnite has continuously evolved, becoming one of the most popular video games of all time. A major factor in its success is Epic Games' collaboration with other companies, bringing iconic characters like Master Chief and Doom Guy into the game. Over the past few months, Fortnite has introduced exciting new modes, but Battle Royale remains the most popular, and the introduction of the "Pump & Dump" could further change the battlefield.

How Does "Pump & Dump" Work?

According to reputable insider Shiina, this new weapon completely redefines Fortnite’s dual-wield mechanic. Previously, players could carry two pistols or two SMGs, but "Pump & Dump" combines a shotgun and an SMG into one weapon. This means players will get the high fire rate of an SMG and the powerful close-range damage of a shotgun.

Weapon Rarity and Features

The "Pump & Dump" is expected to come in multiple rarities, up to Mythic. Accidentally enabled in Team Rumble, this weapon showcased its unique properties—its stats are split into two sections, reflecting the attributes of both the shotgun and SMG.

When Will the Update Arrive?

The next Fortnite update is scheduled for Tuesday, March 11, meaning players will get their hands on the "Pump & Dump" very soon.

Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 2, officially titled "Lawless", launched in February, bringing major changes to weapons, characters, and the island itself. With even more content on the way, the addition of "Pump & Dump" only adds to the excitement.
