As if the game’s weird audio and hit markers weren’t enough to send you into a spin after every shot rings out across the map, a Suppressed Sniper Rifle also looks like it’s on the way to Fortnite.
Dataminer Lucas7yoshi, who is something of a dying breed with Epic Games clamping down hard on those who leak content from the game early, has discovered the files for the new weapon lurking in Battle Royale after previously being a Save The World Item.
Heres a MUCH better render of the suppressed sniper!

As you might expect, it lacks the punch of the other Sniper Rifles and deals 100 damage for Epic, 105 for Legendary — no details on the headshot stats just yet. It comes with almost three seconds of reload time, which isn’t the worst.
There’s no release date for this just yet and no guarantee that it will come in the next patch as some Fortnite items are datamined and then don’t turn up forever. It could also appear in a completely different form, so watch this space.
The Suppressed Sniper Rifle could be a game-changer, though it entirely depends on its bullet drop and just how silenced it actually is. I can already imagine sweating with panic with a whole squad of players shooting at me with these from somewhere I can’t pinpoint and I cannot wait.
