Fortnite will be getting a new Heavy Assault Rifle soon

Fortnite is currently the most popular thing on the planet outside of breathing, eating, drinking and Minecraft. To keep your game popular constant updates are needed – Fortnite is no stranger to this.

The game’s newest update will introduce a brand-new weapon: the heavy assault rifle.

Announced through the in-game message of the day, the heavy assault rifle is a “powerful assault rifle that is useful when fired in short bursts.” Also, it looks exactly like a Kalashnikov. Sick!

Fortnite’s new heavy assault rifle should be released sometime soon, possibly by the end of the week.#

Fortnite is Free-to-Play, but you can purchase the original game (which will earn you a lot of V-Bucks) on sale today for £17.50/$20.00.
