Recent leaks regarding Fortnite have surfaced, revealing that players might anticipate an electrifying addition in Chapter 6. Renowned leakers and data miners @notkrae, @Krowe_moh, and @Loolo_WRLD have uncovered that Epic Games is in the process of developing new “Electric”weaponry that promises to deliver elemental damage to both players and structures within the game.
While this concept isn’t entirely groundbreaking—given that many weapons in Save The World feature “Nature”damage, represented by a lightning bolt—this would mark its debut in the Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.
Potential Introduction of “Electric”Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6
According to the information divulged, several new “Electric”weapons may soon be integrated into the Fortnite loot pool. Currently, only one weapon has been identified by name: **Bow & Grenade**. The name itself seems not to suggest a direct connection to electricity, indicating it might be a placeholder for something more electrifying.
Furthermore, intriguing details have emerged regarding the status effects associated with these “Electric”weapons. Here are the anticipated mechanics:
- When a player is struck by electricity: They will drop their current weapon and automatically switch to a Pickaxe.
- When electricity impacts a vehicle: The outcome remains unknown.
- When electricity hits water: The results are currently uncharted.
- When electricity interacts with builds: They will catch fire.
Observing players relinquish their weapons for a Pickaxe will undoubtedly provide comedic moments. Additionally, the burning of builds could drastically raise the stakes for players who heavily rely on structural defenses. The effects of electricity on vehicles and water, however, remain a mystery. Who knows what unexpected outcomes these new mechanics could unveil across the Fortnite landscape?
As of now, this encapsulates all we know regarding the potential introduction of “Electric”weaponry. There is no confirmed release date, but players might glean more information during Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, which is rumored to embrace a Star Wars theme—tying into the concept of electricity as a Force power.
Additionally, a new “Liquid Gun”is reportedly in development for Battle Royale/Zero Build, though details remain scarce. Similar to the status of the “Electric”weapons, it may face the possibility of either cancellation or eventual release later in Chapter 6.
