5 big gameplay spoilers hidden in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 trailer
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 launches on Feb. 21 in the morning, and Epic Games is ramping up the hype with new teasers and trailers. On Feb. 18, Epic released the cinematic gameplay trailer for the new Fortnite season, Lawless, just a day after teasing what appears to be a Mammoth Pistol variant themed after Midas. You can watch the full trailer below—you might even catch some exciting new gameplay spoilers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66eAN56g7D8 The return of the Sticky Grenade Launcher At the 0:19 mark in the trailer, we get a clear look at a new character holding the Sticky Grenade Launcher. Players first saw this weapon in Chapter 4 Season 4 (August 2023), where it wreaked havoc due to its insane ability to demolish structures. It was nerfed in late September 2023, and if it's making a comeback in Chapter 6, players will be hoping it's the balanced version that returns. Dual wield shotguns could debut in Fortnite At 0:49, we see the player character holding two shotguns—one in each hand. This could be the first-ever dual-wield shotgun in Fortnite, finally making the double pump dream a reality in a single weapon. That said, it would be fair to expect lower firepower per shot to compensate for a faster firing rate—assuming it makes it into the final game. An actual laser beam weapon? At 0:53, a character inside a building fires a continuous laser beam during combat. While the player is taken down by the dual-wield shotguns, we can briefly see the beam hitting a ramp and destroying it. This suggests it's not just a laser sight but an actual damage-dealing laser beam weapon, which would be a first for Fortnite. Is Thermite Coming to Fortnite? At 0:55, Midas appears to blow up a wooden wall using thermite. A bit excessive for such a weak structure? Maybe. But if thermite is coming to Fortnite, it could add even more explosive power to a season that's already bringing back the Sticky Grenade Launcher. A deadlier train with turrets The train is already a great feature, but at 1:05, we see turrets mounted on top. These stationary weapons could make train fights more intense than ever, adding mounted turret gameplay to moving combat. While Epic rarely showcases features in a trailer without adding them to the game, these gameplay elements remain unconfirmed and could be subject to change. We’ll know for sure when Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 officially launches on Feb. 21. The post 5 big gameplay spoilers hidden in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 trailer appeared first on Destructoid.
