It is nor currently confirmed what will be included in the patch notes for the new update, but it is expected that the newly announced double barrel shotgun will be added into the battle royale title and have itself explained further by Epic Games in the v5.20 patch notes for Fortnite. 

Community members can also expect to see dataminers uncover images for new skins, gliders, back blings, harvesting tools and emotes when the new content update goes live for Fortnite. The names of the leaked cosmetic items and much more have already been discovered by a group of dataminers who have combed through the files for the next update of Fortnite, but no images showing what these cosmetic items will look like have been discovered.

Unfortunately, It is highly unlikely that the v5.20 patch notes will reveal any images showcasing what the future set of cosmetic items will look like. 

With what is expected to be a good deal of content officially added by Epic Games and discovered by dataminers, members of the Fortnite community will no doubt be excited to see what the v5.20 patch notes and content update bring to the popular battle royale game on Tuesday, July 7th beginning at 3 AM EST.
