Fortnite update unvaults two fan-favorite weapons & changes loot again Epic GamesEpic Games announced that a new Fortnite update has unvaulted two fan-favorite items \u2013 the Tactical Shotgun and the Infantry Rifle \u2013 while also changing up the game\u2019s loot so that even more Crafting Parts and classic weapons spawn in the world. Ever since Fortnite Season 6\u2019s launch, fans have been complaining about the rate at which Crafting Parts appear. These parts are used to upgrade Makeshift weapons into either Mechanical or Primal weapons, and they\u2019re detrimental to your survival in the long-term. Now, Epic has released a new update for Fortnite that, amongst other things, changes up how much the parts spawn. Most notably, the developers have doubled the chance of the parts spawning as floor loot. In addition, the chance of cars dropping Mechanical Parts has been increased by 50%. Epic has also unvaulted both the Tactical Shotgun and the Infantry Rifle. The former has been vaulted ever since Season 6 started, while the latter hasn\u2019t been in the game since Chapter 1 of the game\u2019s life, getting vaulted at the started Chapter 2 Season 1.
