The unique facet to the Junk Gun in Fortnite is that it consumes materials for ammo. It can basically consume an opponent's builds and use them as ammunition during a fight.
However, the ammo obtained is only one per object, regardless of the object's health or size, and players can only have three bullets in the magazine at a time.
This aspect of the weapon makes it incredibly overpowered. This is why it will probably not be added to competitive playlists.
That being said, this weapon could become incredibly popular in public lobbies as it encourages players to engage in close-range fights.
Players can also use the Junk Gun to consume builds during a box fight since that would expose their opponent.
There are also rumors about this weapon being added to the Week 4 Quests and Spire Challenges. Players can practice and improve their aim with the Junk Gun in Fortnite before these challenges begin.
