The whistleblowers have informed the Fortnite community that the Zapper Trap will be added to Battle Royale in an upcoming update with an epic rarity, a reload time of 2.0 and damage of 50 every two seconds with a maximum stack size of four. The item is apparently to be placed on floors, walls, and roofs.

"Also it mentions that it can be placed on enemy buildings.... interesting but we can't be sure till the item actually has been released." FortTory's tweet read. The tweet had also leaked the following images consisting of data pertaining to the Zapper Trap.

Comments about the leak from the Fortnite Battle Royale players saw some of them alluding to the Ceiling Zapper as they read the specifications of the Zapper Trap. "I would take the 'CanBePlacedOnEnemyBuildings' thing with a grain of salt, as its never been a thing before so I doubt it. Check some other traps real quick to see if they have the same flag?"

Lucas7yoshi commented on FortTory's post to which the latter replied saying they "can't find any other trap with that mentioned in the files."

With FortTory's track record of breaking updates way ahead of time and the credibility they have garnered by being proven authentic as many updates unfolded, the Zapper Trap leak could just be expected to materialize as an update very soon. It is, however, important to note that these are mere speculations dug out by data miners and could still be wrong since Epic Games have not yet announced anything official pertaining to this, as of yet.
