Fortnite Battle Royale Freeze Trap Leaked in v6.0 Files

The v6.0 patch for Fortnite Battle Royale was implemented on Thursday, September 28th, and it brought a vast array of changes to Fortnite with the beginning of Season 6 for the battle royale title. The implementation of the v6.0 patch for Season 6 of Fortnite has also allowed dataminers in the community begin combing through the newly added files to uncover possible content that may be added to the game in the future. The latest of these leaks consisted of the discovery of the possibility that a freeze trap could be coming to Fortnite. 

Well known datamining entity Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks leaked on Friday, September 28th that files containing information regarding a freeze trap designed for the battle royale version of the title had been found in the files for the recently implemented v6.0 patch.

FNBR Leaks also stated that the item would be of a Rare rarity and contained the description of "Hits all enemies on trap when triggered doing small damage and slowing players". This description points to the leaked freeze trap being a item players can use to slow down their enemies exponentially and give them an easy target to eliminate. 

Save The World, the player versus environment game mode of Epic Games' massively popular battle royale title, already has the freeze item as a usable tool, so it would not be shocking to see the leaked freeze trap make its way into the battle royale version of the game in the same way that other Save The World items and weapons have. 

However, as with any leak of unconfirmed information, players should not take the addition of the freeze trap into Fortnite Battle Royale as fact until it is confirmed by an official channel for the title.
