New Sword Weapon Discovered in Fortnite Game Files
After Tuesday’s 7.20 update, it seems that the Fortnite: Battle Royale game files contain a new sword weapon. Twitter user srdrabx stumbled upon this discovery and initially believed it to be the controversial Infinity Blade. However, it was later confirmed to be a different, “normal” sword.
No Further Information Available
Dataminers were unable to find any additional details regarding this weapon, making it difficult to determine if it falls into the Mythic class. The Mythic class was introduced by Epic in May 2018 with the release of the Infinity Gauntlet.
Player Uncertainty and Developer Response
Fans of Fortnite may have mixed feelings about the Medieval Sword. Following the addition of the Infinity Blade in December, players strongly criticized Epic for making it overpowered, leading to demands for its removal. The developer listened to the community and vaulted the sword less than a week after its introduction.
Impact on Gameplay
The impact of the Medieval Sword remains uncertain. Including it in a close-quarters Limited Time Mode may minimize negative feedback from players. However, adding it to regular games may result in more complaints from the community.
