Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Update Could Possibly Bring Weapon Attachments to the Table

Numerous fans are highly anticipating the arrival of Chapter 5 as it will bring several changes to the game’s map, vehicles, weapons, etc. These changes are expected to take place right after the Big Bang event on 2nd December which will go into detail about the upcoming changes along with a performance by Legendary rapper Eminem. 

Considering the title’s popularity, there are various leaks on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly known as Twitter) where data miners post new information regarding all the potential updates coming to the game. One such recent claim is the addition of attachments for weapons, supposedly making its way in Fortnite’s chapter 5. Let’s jump right in and take a look.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Might Add Three New Weapon Attachments

Epic’s popular battle royale might expand its horizons and add three different types of attachments to weapons such as optics, accuracy, and recoil. Similar to attachments in Call of Duty games, you might be able to change your muzzle, barrel, stock, scope, and grip which adds a whole new layer of customization to the game.

You can also expect an added inventory slot which will help you carry various attachments containing different levels of rarity. Furthermore, these attachments will supposedly help you modify your weapon recoil, presumably reducing it as you get rarer attachments. Older leaks also suggested attachments to vehicles which will add specialised turrets to seemingly ordinary vehicles. Although it is unsure how this will be implemented, these updates will drastically change the game’s mechanics adding a new layer of complexity that players have to deal with.

How Will Weapon Attachments Be Implemented to Fortnite?

 As we are working with speculatory information, it is unsure how weapon attachments will be added to the game’s battle royale mode. While the game already has workbenches (or upgrade stations), which utilize gold bars to increase the rarity of your weapons, many are expecting that this system will be overhauled to slot in these new attachment options.

Apart from this, players are also expecting a first-person mode which might make these attachments game-changing, as you will now have the option to scope in and use optical attachments more precisely. However, it is unsure if these modifications can be applied to all weapons or only cater to specific weapons like rifles and shotguns. 

That is pretty much everything we know so far about the rumors regarding weapon attachments making their way to Fortnite Chapter 5. Please take this information with a grain of salt as it is based on leaks found online. At the time of writing, there has been no official announcement from Epic Games addressing this leak.
