Fortnite Reload July 16 update adds Thunder Shotgun and more

Fortnite’s newest game mode, Reload, has created a buzz like nothing else since the invention of sliced bread. Enthusiasts have been swiftly drawn to this fresh addition to celebrate and honor Fortnite Chapter 1 in its new phase. Just as with other game modes, Epic Games continues to refine Fortnite Reload, with the most recent enhancement unveiled on July 16. Here’s a rundown of all the modifications introduced in the July 16 Fortnite Reload update.

New weapons added, others removed in the latest Fortnite Reload update

The Thunder Pump Shotgun, a crowd pleaser among Fortnite players, is amongst the three new weapons introduced in the July 16th Reload update. Introduced in Chapter 4 Season 1, this weapon quickly gained popularity due to the delight players derived from using it. Amongst the newer shotguns, the Thunder Pump takes the lead. Additionally, Fortnite Reload now includes the Twin Mag SMG and Mammoth Pistol.

As a long-time Fortnite player, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and disappointment with Epic Games’ recent updates. On one hand, I’m thrilled to see new weapons added to the loot pool. These fresh additions bring a sense of novelty and keep the game feeling fresh. However, the removal of some weapons leaves me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth.

What’s next for Fortnite’s most popular game mode?

There’s no denying that Fortnite Reload, the nostalgic Chapter 1 game mode in Fortnite, has gained massive popularity. It swiftly rose to the top, surpassing the conventional Battle Royale as Fortnite’s most favored choice. Epic Games is unlikely to make major adjustments until Chapter 5 Season 4. Nevertheless, players can anticipate some minor tweaks, including loot pool modifications, in the meantime.
