A new trap has been leaked from the latest Fortnite Battle Royale update Dataminers sifting through the files of the v6.0 update have discovered assets for a new \u2018Freeze Trap\u2019 that could be making its way to Fortnite Battle Royale. The Freeze Trap was found in the \u2018Athena\u2019 directory of the games files, a place where only Fortnite Battle Royale assets are stored. The asset, which is classed as a \u2018Rare\u2019 item, is described as a trap which \u201cHits all enemies on trap when triggered doing small damage and slowing players.\u201d While the files don\u2019t show how much damage the trap does, it does confirm that the item will be able to be placed on any flat surface, as file names featuring the terms floor, wall and ceiling are all spotted in the Athena folder. The item\u2019s description states that it will slow players, however it\u2019s still unclear how long players will actually be hindered by the trap. The use of the term \u2018slow\u2019 seems to indicate that the item won\u2019t freeze players in place, but rather suggests that they may still be able to move, just at a greatly reduced speed. Looks like Freeze Traps will be coming to the game!

Of course, as with all leaks, there is no guarantee that the item will appear in the game until it is officially announced by Epic Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
