Draining weapons and their statistics of the 3rd chapter of Fortnite
While players are waiting for the start of Fortnite Chapter 3, leaks have begun to appear revealing brand new weapons and their stats.
It definitely looks like Fortnite Chapter 3 is about to start. While we don't know the exact date, various leaks have begun to surface online.
In particular, we saw two new weapons appear in the last days of November 2021.
Plums of new Fortnite weapons
Both weapon leaks featured here come from the Fortnite HYPEX Twitter leak. The first is the new Throwing Ax item, which certainly seems capable of doing some damage.
Based on the name, we predict you'll be able to throw it at enemies, but despite the seemingly clear cut, we'll have to wait and see how exactly it works.
Another weapon for which we have a complete list of stats, but unlike the Axe, there is no in-game image to show it yet.
HYPEX speculated that it could be some sort of Flint-Knock pistol, which makes sense based on published statistics that are similar to existing weapons.
It comes with a five-round clip and fires one shot at a time, just like the Flint-Knock. Although it deals less damage, you won't have to reload it after every shot. That being said, when you need to reboot, it will take you longer, between 5,5 and 6,5 seconds.
These weapons have much less damage per shot, but again, you don't have to reload after each one. The pistol has a 4x headshot multiplier that will pump damage above 100.
Of course, these are just leaks right now and we can't confirm anything without official news from Epic. Hypex has been reliable in the past, so we'll just have to wait until Chapter 3 launches to know for sure.
