Fortnite Season 3 has been all about cars, but according to the latest leak, that could soon change. Given that we are in the first week of the new season, the game may seem unbalanced. This is mainly because many players are still getting used to all the new changes in the season, including vehicle mods.

However, it's no secret that Fortnite cars have been significantly improved. Not only has Epic increased their HP by 100%, but it's also possible to turn them into unstoppable killing machines. That could change soon, as the release of a revolutionary weapon is just around the corner.

Latest Fortnite leak shows game-changing sniper rifle

Many players have struggled playing against cars so far in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. Given their power, this is no surprise. While there are several ways to destroy cars, including using the new Nitro Fists, players have been calling on Epic Games to do something about this problem. According to the latest leak, the fix could be imminent.

Hypex, the most renowned Fortnite leaker, has shared a list of upcoming weapons that will arrive throughout the season. One of these weapons is a new heavy sniper rifle, which is a fan-favorite weapon. The new version of the rifle will have a triple damage multiplier against vehicles, which will be a game changer.

The Heavy Sniper Rifle is one of the most powerful Fortnite weapons of all time. Given its damage multiplier, we expect it to deal around 400 damage to vehicles per shot. This means it would only take four shots to take down a small car, while a medium vehicle would require five shots. The weapon will be even more devastating when paired with the Nitro Fists or Boom Bolt.

The release date for the Heavy Sniper Rifle has not yet been revealed. However, we expect it to arrive sometime in June. Besides this long-range weapon, the Fortnite leak showed a few other upcoming items. The list includes the Combat AR and the Minigun, both of which will be effective against vehicles.
