Fortnite enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as they await the launch of the much-anticipated “Rift Gun,” which was recently teased in a cinematic trailer. Epic Games has been hard at work wrapping up Chapter 6 Season 1, paving the way for a flood of fresh content with the new update.
As Chapter 6 Season 2 kicks off, players are immersing themselves in the newly unveiled locales, eager to experience the game’s latest map transformation. The centerpiece of this update is Crime City—a gritty, graffiti-laden urban area teeming with potential hazards. Here, players can scavenge for duffle bags brimming with useful items like Kneecappers and Thermite. And for those who locate some explosives, making their way to the heart of Crime City might lead to cracking open a vault, a brand new feature this season. The vaults promise a treasure trove of the season’s new weapons, promising to keep gameplay fresh and engaging.
The chatter about the “Rift Gun” isn’t based on leaks but rather their excitement was amplified by a tweet from well-known dataminer ShiinaBR. In a recent cinematic, a character is seen leaping over a balcony railing, charging into a building, and unleashing a Rift at an enemy using a gun resembling a familiar shotgun. This instantly teleports the opponent high into the sky, leaving them unharmed. The community’s warm response suggests this weapon could become a quintessential part of the Fortnite arsenal, adding a strategic layer to gameplay.
Fortnite fans took to social media to draw parallels between this gun and a similar one used by The Foundation—voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson—in an event several years ago. Back then, as a horde of foes was about to swarm a room, The Foundation brandished a gun that sent the enemies soaring through a Rift. Though many expected this weapon to be added to the game back then, it never surfaced—until now, rekindling the community’s excitement and sparking theories on when it might officially drop in the current season.
Imaginative players are already theorizing the endless possibilities this gun could introduce. While the trailer showcased its use on opponents, it’s easy to envision using it for personal or team escapes, creating Rifts to escape the clutches of the storm or opponents. As Chapter 6 Season 2 unfolds, the anticipation is high to see the new heights Epic Games will take their beloved title.
