A new Fortnite Leak has revealed two of the craziest weapons yet, although it’s unclear whether either will be coming to the game Android, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One, and whether they will or they will not be added during Season 5 or held for a subsequent season. The first of the two newly leaked weapons is the Gnome Gun, while the second is the Troll Launcher. And yes, both do exactly what their name implies.
Word of the Gnome Gun and Troll Launcher come the way of prominent Fortnite leaker and data miner, “Mix,” who not only relayed the news of the two unreleased weapons, but also shared a few videos showing them both in action.
In addition to the videos, the leaker theorizes that the Gnome Gun may be developers only, although it is unclear why developers would need a Gnome Gun. Furthermore, it is unclear why you would go to the trouble of making something so incredible and then not add it to the actual game.
Speaking to the Troll Launcher, the leaker also seems to think the gun won’t make it to the game, but for a different reason. More specifically, the leaker theorizes that it has been scrapped, that is, it was once in the works but is no longer in development.

Of course, as always, take all of this with a grain of salt as it is all information and media of the leaked variety. At the time of publishing, Epic Games has provided zero clarification in the form of a comment or statement. If this changes, we will update the story accordingly.
