The newest Fortnite trailer featuring Black Manta dropped a couple of days ago, and the it hints at a weapon that could be retunrining to the game.
According to one eagle-eyed Redditor, one of the enemies killed in the game’s latest trailer drops a Heavy Assault Rifle. Though the weapon was first introduced to in Chapter 1, it was vaulted early on in Chapter 2. The Heavy AR is a fan-favorite weapon, so players are likely to see that it could be returning to Fortnite soon.
The return of the Heavy AR isn’t the first time that Fortnite has unvaulted a weapon. This season, the game unvaulted the hunting rifle, the chug jug, stink bombs, chug splashes, the compact SMG, and the grappler, while Chapter 2 season 2’s mythic weapons and the pump shotgun were vaulted to make room for the returning favorites. However, at the moment it is unclear if any weapons currently in the game will be vaulted so that the Heavy AR can return.
The return of the Heavy AR isn’t the only new addition coming to Fortnite. The latest trailer adds Aquaman and Black Manta skins to the game. There is also an Aquaman Battle Pass available for purchase as well. The Battle Pass comes with two versions of the Aquaman skin; one with the original Aquaman suit and another version called Arther Curry. Players can unlock the Arther Curry skin by buying the Battle Pass and diving over the waterfall at Gorgeous Gorge while wearing the Aquaman skin. There are also new challenges to unlock emotes, loading screens, and sprays.
Fortnite has had some fantastic collaborations in Chapter 2. Last season, the game teamed up with Disney to introduce Deadpool to the game. Captain America was introduced to the game at the beginning of July. Now, Aquaman and Black Manta skins have been added to Fortnite. Strangely, Fortnite is the closest game that comic book fans are getting to a Marvel vs DC game. There are skins for Deadpool, Black Widow, and Star-Lord from the Marvel side and Batman, Catwomen, and Harley Quinn join Aquaman and Black Manta on the DC side. Fortnite has done an excellent job of bringing pop culture icons to the game, and crossover events such as this are a big reason why it continues to thrive.
