Summary
- Fortnite leaks suggest a Rocket Drill weapon is arriving resembling the Rocket Ram.
- Rocket Drill will allow players to fly and dismantle buildings, useful in both build and zero-build modes.
- Leaker ShiinaBR speculates Rocket Drill will have durability.
New Fortnite leaks show off a Rocket Drill weapon reminiscent of the Rocket Ram, an item that was available in a single Season and then shelved pretty quickly. While Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Oni Hunters winds down, more information about what's on the horizon appears to be surfacing. Gamers have uncovered several new weapons, including Mythics that will drop soon.
Plenty of weapons have been vaulted and tweaked, sometimes brought back in later Fortnite seasons like the Zapotron or the Double Pump. Some players miss the Rocket Ram, in particular, since it was a multifaceted tool that cleared out areas and made it easy to fight other players before leaving the vicinity. With players begging for Rocket Ram's return, Fortnite's developers appear to have heard the call if an upcoming weapon is any indication.
Fortnite Leaks Mortal Kombat Mythics
Leaks reveal the Mortal Kombat-themed Mythic weapons coming to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Lawless amid the wave of new Fortnite info surfacing.
Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR shared on social media that a new weapon called the Rocket Drill is coming to Chapter 6 Season 2, appearing to be a twist on a classic that many gamers enjoyed in Chapter 4 Season 4. It's been stated that players will be able to use the Rocket Drill to fly and dismantle buildings, which makes it seem like an updated version of the Rocket Ram. Whether the drill is equally or more effective than its predecessor is currently unknown, though it'll likely still be up to player skill.
Fortnite Leaks Reveal Rocket Drill
The Rocket Ram and Rocket Drill are weapons especially useful in Build Fortnite modes, but they could prove similarly handy in Zero Build modes for tearing through structures. Based on how the Drill is described, it appears to be more suitable for traversal than combat, but if its damage is the same as the Rocket Ram's 50, it could be a handy way to eliminate opponents.
Some gamers asked if the Rocket Drill will have durability, and although it's not certain, ShiinaBR believes that is the case, making it function somewhat like the Typhoon Blade in Chapter 6 Season 1. The existence of a Rocket Drill seems to suggest that some of the new weapons in Chapter 6 Season 2 will adhere to the heist-inspired "Lawless" theme this season, so there's a chance that more weapons that look like the Rocket Drill will appear very soon.
