The highly popular Zapatron rifle is set to return in Fortnite OG after nearly 7 years. The official account of the game on X has confirmed that the weapon will be returning on Valentine’s Day in Fortnite OG Season 2. This announcement has generated hype among the community, as the post gained over 11,000 likes and 200,000 views in less than an hour.

On that note, here’s everything you need to know about the addition of Zapatron in Fortnite OG so far.


Fortnite OG will feature the Zapatron on Valentine's day

For those who don't know, Zapotron is a Legendary rarity sniper rifle that was briefly available in Fortnite's early days, specifically during the pre-season in 2017. This energy-based weapon required a charge-up time of two seconds to deliver a powerful shot, dealing massive damage to opponents.

It was reportedly only available for 30 minutes in the game, after which it was removed forever.

The official Fortnite account on X shared the follow caption that generated massive excitement amongst the community:

“1 like and zapotron comes back to OG tomorrow.”

While Fortnite OG Season 2 had a pretty good start, the active player count of the game has been declining lately. The addition of such a weapon to the game could potentially boost the active player stats again, as many would be eager to get their hand on it.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, users are advised to keep an eye on the Epic Games launcher and the official Fortnite channels on social media platforms to see when the hotfix adding the Zapatron will arrive.

Whether it remains for a limited time or becomes a permanent addition is still unknown, but one thing is certain the Fortnite community is ready for its return.
