Unsure how to play? The Late Game Arena is a much-appreciated endgame simulator with a smaller playing field, and everything happens so fast!
Pump Shotgun Becomes Available
A new weapon will also be unvaulted; this time around, it’s a nice hit! Fortnite 21.50 update is set to bring the Pump Shotgun into action.
However, for some, the Pump Shotgun is not an entirely new weapon. Epic teased the comeback by posting on Twitter the following caption:
What a Legendary reaction! We're so Pumped to see you drop in at 8 am ET on 8.30.2022. 👀

If that’s not a clear sign of the Pump Shotgun’s return, well, we’ll better wait and see!
September Crew Pack
The Fortnite Crew Pack will get a September edition, too, featuring Loveless skin and cool matching cosmetics. How nice!
The September Crew Pack will be available starting August 31, 8 PM ET.
