Exciting news for Fortnite fans — fresh leaks hint at the introduction of a Rocket Drill weapon, which seems to carry a striking resemblance to the former Rocket Ram. Although the Rocket Ram was only in play for a short season before it disappeared, its fans have not forgotten its versatile uses, particularly in clearing areas and aiding in tactical retreats. With Fortnite’s current chapter winding down, players are eagerly piecing together hints about what’s on the way, and this new weapon has certainly caught their attention.
It’s common in Fortnite’s world for weapons to be vaulted and unvaulted, sometimes even reinvented, as seen with past items like the Zapotron and Double Pump. The Rocket Drill appears to be the latest addition to this lineage of transformation. Just as players have been yearning for the return of the Rocket Ram, this new tool might just be the answer to their wishes, offering new dimensions and possibilities in gameplay.
Renowned Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR has taken to social media to share insights about this upcoming feature slated for Chapter 6 Season 2. The Rocket Drill is described as an innovative take on its predecessor, allowing players to take to the skies and engage in building demolition. Although whether it surpasses the Rocket Ram in effectiveness remains to be seen, it will surely test the skills of its users.
In Build modes, both the Rocket Ram and the Rocket Drill could prove critical, and in Zero Build modes, the latter may offer strategic advantages through its ability to dismantle structures. This new tool seems geared more for getting around rather than direct confrontation, but with a damage potential akin to the Rocket Ram’s known 50-point hit, it could still serve as a potent tool in a player’s arsenal.
A bit more speculative, yet intriguing nonetheless, is the potential introduction of durability with the Rocket Drill, a feature hinted at by ShiinaBR. This would liken it to the Season 1 Typhoon Blade, and align with the theme of the “Lawless” motif for the upcoming chapter. This suggests that players might see more dynamically designed weapons like the Rocket Drill in the near future, potentially altering the strategic landscape in significant ways.
