The upcoming Fortnite weapon that was leaked is called the Firefly Launcher. It is based on the Bundlebuss, a popular gun frequently used in Fortnite: Save the World.

While the Bundlebuss is a flintlock assault rifle, the upcoming item is a short-range explosive launcher. It is very similar to Primal Flame Bow and Dragon Breath's Sniper Rifle in terms of how it works.

As you can see in the video above, the leaked Fortnite weapon uses shotgun shells for its ammo. It shoots fireflies at a short distance, causing buildings to burn and damaging enemies.

The video also shows that the weapon can be charged for maximum damage, similar to the Charge Shotgun released in Chapter 2 Season 3. When enemies are directly hit by it, the weapon deals 27 damage, in addition to the damage caused by fireflies.

According to Fortnite leakers, the weapon does not have a multiplier for headshots. Instead, it deals 27 damage for both body and head hits and has five shells in its magazine. The fire rate of the launcher is 4.25, and once it's empty, it takes around three seconds to fully reload.

The release date of this Fortnite weapon has not yet been revealed. However, there is a good chance that Epic Games will launch the first major update of Chapter 4 Season 1 on Tuesday, December 13, and the weapon may arrive with it.

Power guitar is coming to Fortnite as well

Power Guitar is another upcoming Fortnite Battle Royale addition. It is very similar to the Boom Box, an explosive item first released in Chapter 1 Season 7.

This inclusion will be very useful against builds as it deals 40 damage per hit to them. Considering that the item is activated twice per second, it is possible to deal 80 damage per second with it to any build.

While the Power Guitar will be a fantastic addition ideal for classic game modes, it may not be as great in Zero Build. However, players will still be able to use it to destroy covers and reveal their enemies.
