Fortnite Season 6 Black Drum

Fortnite players believe they have spotted the Black Drum in Season 6 teasers

Could a new shotgun be on the way?

The beginning of Fortnite Season 6 is just around the corner. As always, fans are eager to find out what Epic Games has in store for the new season. Following a recent teaser video, fans believe a new shotgun that features in the Save the World game mode could be coming to the battle royale. This is known as the Black Drum shotgun in Fortnite.

The image of the gun appears twice during the teaser video. Then, a Fortnite data miner was able to combine the two images together. The end result was an image that showed a strong resemblance to the Black Drum shotgun. Also, it does have the unique features such as the metallic look, alongside the metal spikes. If the Black Drum is set to arrive in the Fortnite battle royale, there is no doubt that it will be extremely popular. If the weapon stats follow those of Save the World, the shotgun will prove to be highly lethal. The damage to a player is 15.7, the reload time is 2.8 seconds, and it has a magazine size of 10.
