Fortnite leak reveals 20+ weapons to be used in First Person mode

Fortnite's First Person mode has been a work in progress for months now. Although it was showcased in-game via a glitch, it's not yet been released in any official capacity. In fact, Epic Games is yet to make a statement about the same, but nevertheless, thanks to leakers/data miners, there is an update. A few hours ago, iFireMonkey provided new information about the First Person mode.

According to the leakers, Epic Games has been actively working on it in Chapter 4 Season 3 as well. They are fixing bugs that appeared when the First Person mode was activated in Save The World mode alongside updating how the Camera works. This is important as it will ensure that your field of view is not hampered while executing certain tasks/activities. However, that's not all that's in development.

Fortnite's First Person mode has been updated to accommodate a plethora of new weapons

Alongside the bug fixes and other changes being made to the upcoming First Person mode, Epic Games has been updating weapon sounds. Since the camera angle itself will change in this new mode, the way sound works will be altered as well. As such, new sound files have been added to showcase these changes. Here's a list of all weapons' sounds that have been updated:

• Raygun
• Cloak Gauntlets
• Explosive Repeater
• Mammoth Pistol
• Heavy Sniper
• Ex-Caliber Rifle
• Kinetic Boomerang
• DMR
• Makeshift Revolver
• Bandages
• Eating Fish
• Grappler
• Medkits
• Shadow Tracker
• Crossbow
• Suppressed Sniper
• Standard Sniper
• Pistol
• Pickaxes
• Infantry Rifle
• Combat Pistol
• Makeshift Pump
• Dragons Breath Sniper
• Primal Pistol

According to iFireMonkey, there are many more that have been updated with First Person mode sounds. But what's interesting here is that many weapons featured on the list are not from Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3's loot pool. For instance, Makeshift Revolver, Makeshift Pump, and Primal Pistol are from Chapter 2 Season 6. Others, like the Ex-Caliber Rifle, were last seen in Chapter 4 Season 1.

This could be an indication that Epic Games will reintroduce these weapons to the loot pool in future seasons. Given that unvaulting weapons every now and then has been the trend for years, it's definitely a possibility. Despite a few weapons on the list being hated by the community, using them in First Mode mode will be very interesting to see.

When will the First Person mode be added to Fortnite?

Given that it's been in development for months now, it's safe to assume that it's still not ready. As mentioned by iFireMonkey, Epic Games is still working on the First Person mode. Perhaps it could be ready and implemented at the start of Chapter 5 Season 1, but this is purely based on speculation.

Since major changes such as this one take time to perfect, it may not even come to fruition at the start of Fortnite Chapter 5. While there is a proof of concept, having a bug/glitch-free experience is a top priority rather than just adding a new feature to the game.
