Fortnite recently added a smart gun to the mix in the form of its Auto Aim\/Lock-On Pistol. Notably, the weapon has the ability to track and lock onto a target\u2019s movements up to 50 feet away. The auto-aim can even follow enemies as they move through hiding spots such as piles of leaves. Players quickly labeled the firearm an \u201caimbot gun,\u201d arguing that it\u2019ll prove most useful for players who have terrible aim. According to a new leak, the development team may already have yet another smart-type weapon in the works. Fortnite leaker claims Epic is developing a \u201cSmart SMG\u201d Reputable Fortnite leaker HYPEX has revealed that a new smart gun could eventually see the light of day. The weapon in question is supposedly a \u201cSmart SMG,\u201d which could bear some similarities to the Lock-On Pistol that launched in April. \u201cThey\u2019re also working on a new weapon that increases fire rate as you shoot with it,\u201d the Twitter user added. Players already seem peeved by reports that Fortnite may eventually play host to a Smart SMG. One user responded to the tweet questioning why Epic is making things easier for cheaters. \u201cAn aimbot SMG, tf is happening in Epic HQ? They\u2019re like if you can\u2019t ban all the cheaters, make cheats legal!\u201d \u201cLock on SMG about to break the game,\u201d another person lamented in the thread. The criticism doesn\u2019t stop there, either. \u201cThey gotta stop this auto-aim stuff but the one that increases as you fire sounds cool,\u201d another Twitter user wrote. Since Epic Games has yet to corroborate the leak, there\u2019s no telling if or when Fortnite\u2019s new SMG will actually become available in-game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players are already annoyed by rumors of upcoming \u201cSmart SMG\u201d Epic GamesEpic Games is reportedly developing a \u201cSmart SMG\u201d for Fortnite that may be similar to the Auto Aim Pistol; fans are far from pleased.
