The new update is now live from Epic Games for their wildly popular online title, Fortnite. With a new weapon and a few other odds and ends that are sure to be exciting for those playing, it looks like PlayStation players are getting a little something, something extra. Probably as compensation for less accessible cross-platform play compared to every other platform the game is available on. Who knows!
Though Epic Games hasn’t actually announced the PlayStation exclusive gear, our friends over at @TwoEpicBuddies on Twitter have never steered us wrong yet when it comes to their datamined findings. Their latest discovery even comes with pictures of what the new cosmetic items will look like:

They look pretty sweet and the date they have it for is June 12th, which is tomorrow. It’s perfect timing with their huge E3 presence this year and the free Fortnite PSN avatars that were available earlier this month. Now if we could just get Sony to cooperate with other platforms … that would be amazing.

- Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle.
