Epic will bring another weapon from 2019 back to Fortnite and in a much more powerful version
Chapter 3 Season 1 has brought back a whole host of different items, and that’s not all.

- Damage: 39 to the body, 78 to the head
- Magazine: 15 rounds
- Reload time: 2 seconds
- Shot Rate 1.8 (70DPS)
This is another weapon that Epic has decided to restore, and you can guess that it will not be the last. There are still some things left from update 9.0, although the developers are introducing everything one by one:
