Heavy Assault Rifle
The Heavy Assault Rifle has made a return to Fortnite. As with every gun in the game, it can range from Common to Legendary, with the Epic and Legendary variants looking different, as with all guns. The Common-Rare variant has the same appearance as the gun in Fortnite Chapter 1, and the Epic and Legendary have a brand new style. Check them out in the image below;
Weapon Sidegrading
You can now sidegrade your weapons. This means that if you have a regular Assault Rifle, you could sidegrade it so it becomes a Heavy Assault Rifle. I also assume this would mean you could turn a Pump Shotgun into a Tactical Shotgun and vice versa.
UPDATE: Epic actually released patch notes today. Here they are below;
v11.40 is live for Battle Royale and includes the following changes:
- Introducing Sidegrading: the Heavy Assault Rifle returns.
