The weapon, which is expected to be included in the next update on June 13, appeared in the game\u2019s news feed on June 10, along with a teasing message that could give us an idea about what to expect from it \u2013 or not. \u201cIt\u2019s not a horseshoe or a hand grenade, but close still counts\u201d the messages states in-game, which doesn\u2019t really give all that much away. Images of the new gun are not the only things to have potentially been revealed early, as the gun\u2019s statistics have also been leaked by Shield Storm One. It certainly looks like it will pack a punch, too. If the leaked information is to be believed, the new Proximity Grenade Launcher will inflict between 67-70 damage, depending on rarity, per hit. That figure doesn\u2019t change in terms of distance either, meaning that it could be a fairly useful weapon in any player\u2019s arsenal. The date and time of its arrival is still yet to be confirmed, but at least now we know that it will be added to the game for sure. Whether or not that could spark the exit of the original grenade launcher, which does more damage (between 100-120) remains to be seen. This announcement doesn\u2019t in any way confirm the leaked statistics, though. Even if the information is accurate, Epic may make tweaks before it\u2019s finally available to use. We\u2019ll have to wait and see just how it performs in-game when its added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proximity Grenade Launcher coming soon to Fortnite Epic GamesA brand new Proximity Grenade Launcher is officially coming to Fortnite, confirming previously leaked information from dataminers.
