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 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. 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.
