New Drum Gun Weapon Coming To Fortnite

A new weapon will soon be making its way to Fortnite in the form of the Drum Gun. An iconic weapon, fans will recognize it from various gangster and World War 2 films, along with its place in other game franchises such as Call of Duty. Technically known as the Thompson Model 1921 with Type C drum magazine, the weapon should soon become available for use in Fortnite.

The stats of the weapon have already been obtained by Fortnite database website Storm Shield One, the Drum Gun should come in two different flavors, each with slightly different stats:

Drum Gun – Rare

• Damage: 27
• Fire Rate: 9
• Magazine Size: 50
• Reload Time: 3 seconds
• Ammo: Medium

Drum Gun – Uncommon

• Damage: 26
• Fire Rate: 9
• Magazine Size: 50
• Reload Time: 3.15 seconds
• Ammo: Medium

It remains to be seen what other 1920’s era weapons might make their way to the game, but with the recent speculation on what the crack in the sky might mean, we could see some more anachronistic weapons falling onto the field of battle soon enough.
