New Fortnite pistols leaked and potentially coming soon

Epic Games have rolled out their v12.40 update in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2, and it appears that a previously leaked pistol might not be far from appearing in-game. 

Data miners have been hard at work since the patch went live on April 15, as per usual, with all eyes turning to the developer to see what’s changed in the battle royale title.

Those who are regularly looking to get a leg up on everybody else and checking leaks may remember certain reveals from weeks gone by, where weapons have and haven’t gone on to be added. Well, there’s one particular pistol that just doesn’t seem to be going away.

Fortnite players might soon be able to get their hands on a brand new weapon.

The leaked silent double pistols have appeared again in the Fortnite data files, following the release of the game’s latest patch.

According to the Fortnite Wiki, the weapon appears to be a Spy Games exclusive, and can be found in Rare, Epic, and Legendary variants. There’s no telling if the weapon might soon come to the full BR mode as well, at the time of writing.

This discovery, which was posted to Twitter by leaker HYPEX shortly after the update’s downtime started up, might be the biggest hint yet that Epic is about to pull the trigger and add them to the loot pool.

For those who have been waiting for these pistols to be added since they were first leaked, unfortunately, the data miner hasn’t put an approximate date on when they may be added. On top of that, Epic Games haven’t confirmed their arrival either, so it’s pretty much a waiting game.
