Leaked Fortnite Quad Launcher Expected to Release in Next Update

Thursday, September 6th saw the latest major content update be implemented for Fortnite Battle Royale in the v5.40 patch, and it has introduced a whole host of new content from various map changes to the addition of the Grappler grappling hook item and Getaway Limited Time Mode. The v5.40 update has also allowed dataminers to begin poking through the new files that Epic Games has added to its popular battle royale game with the new update, and one of the bigger leaks was the possible release time period of the Quad launcher weapon.

Dataminers had previously discovered and leaked the Quad launcher and other new weapons in the v5.30 content update, but no possible release date for the newly discovered Quad launcher weapon had been uncovered.

This has changed however with the implementation of the new v5.40 content update for the title and its additions of new files to the massively popular battle royale game. Well known dataminer TwoEpicBuddies went searching through the files of Fortnite after the downtime for the implementation of the v5.40 content update had been completed and discovered that the Quad Launcher weapon is currently set to be released next week as the latest weapon and item to be added into Fortnite.

Unfortunately, until the release date of the Quad Launcher weapon for Fortnite is officially confirmed by Epic Games, players should not take the release period of time of next week as fact at this moment.

However, with TwoEpicBuddies being one of the most accurate dataminers for Fortnite and having an almost perfect success rate in the past, there is a very high possibility that the Quad launcher weapon will indeed be added into Fortnite in the next major content update for the battle royale game next week.
