Fortnite`s 9.30 content update is now live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. As developer Epic`s patch notes detail, this week`s update not only marks the start of the 14 Days of Summer event, it also introduces yet another new gun to the game and makes some balance adjustments to a handful of existing weapons and items.Fortnite has received some unique weapons over the past few seasons, but this week`s addition to the arsenal is a classic: the Revolver, which Epic describes as `simple, reliable, [and] powerful.` It comes in Epic and Legendary variants and can be found as floor loot or in chests, vending machines, supply drops, or Loot Carriers.To make room for the Revolver, Epic has vaulted a handful of older weapons, namely the Impulse Grenades, Rift-to-Go, Pirate Cannon, and rare Tactical Assault Rifle.
