Epic Unveils Fortnite New Pulse Rifle in Chapter 6 Teaser

  • Hope (now a masked hunter)
  • A shinobi warrior
  • A mysterious swordsman.

Behind them, you’ll spot a majestic dragon and a giant turtle – both symbols of good fortune in Japanese culture.

Fortnite Japan has further built excitement with a teaser tweet that says, “Only 4 days until Chapter 6 begins!” plus an attached artwork. The stunning artwork, created by illustrator SABA-TABA, shows Hope wielding a powerful new Pulse Rifle against a gorgeous backdrop of traditional Japanese architecture and cherry blossoms. Fans and players in the community were quick to speculate that the artwork might hint at a brand-new rifle coming to Fortnite in Chapter 6.
