Epic Games has recently released the v9.40 patch for “Fortnite Battle Royale” that has added a lot of new things to the game. While most of these things haven’t been released to live servers yet, they have been found by data miners who have shared them with the community. Thanks to them, players can see what cosmetic items will be added to the game, as well as weapons, things related to the upcoming event, and much more.
It turns out that the “Fortnite Battle Royale” developer is going to add another sniper rifle to the weapon loadout. This time, it will be a unique weapon that will have storm scouting. Epic Games has already released the weapon to the game and it has the correct model, sounds, and animations. However, the weapon is currently available only in the Creative mode, which is why its storm scouting ability doesn’t work.

The Bolt-Action long-range weapon had been in the game since its release in September 2017, but it was vaulted with the v7.30 patch, shortly after the suppressed variant of it was released to the game.
