Players can vote for new and unvaulted weapons
If that wasn’t exciting enough, leakers also revealed that players will get to decide which new weapons will be added to the game throughout the season, including fan-favorites from the past.
Not only that, but players can also build turret stations. What those exactly are is unknown — they could just exist in the new Sideways rifts — but the Fortnite map could be getting a lot more dynamic.
