Dataminers have found a new DMR weapon that hasn’t been launched yet but is being tested by the Fortnite development team. Fans of Fortnite have probably seen this type of weapon before, as it has been added in different forms in the past.
Fortnite has added a Thermal DMR, a regular DMR, a Tactical DMR, and more in the past, but they are all vaulted right now. DMRs are long-range guns that are generally semiautomatic.
They are a middle ground between assault rifles and sniper rifles. Some DMRs, like the normal model, had pretty good hip-fire precision for a gun of that type, though.
This meant that the gun could be used for many things if no other weapons were available. Fans of the DMR are in luck because the numbers for Fortnite’s next version of the weapon have just been leaked.
A Fortnite dataminer named Hypex sent out a tweet with information about the next DMR. There are five different types, and the damage is 58, 61, 64, 67, and 70 for each type. It does 63, 67, 70, 74, and 77 damage when built, and 102, 107, 112, 117, and 123 damage when hit in the head.
Aside from that, the secret DMR has a refill time of 2.8 seconds to 2.1 seconds depending on how rare it is, a clip size of seven bullets, and a fire rate of 1.5.
The dataminer did say, though, that these numbers might change a little before the new weapon comes out. FN_Assist, another dataminer, shared a picture of a DMR that was supposed to come out this season. This could be the DMR in question. However, this is just a guess.

When Fortnite’s next season starts, which could be after Chapter 5 Season 1 ends on March 8, the new DMR could be added. There are rumors that the next season of Fortnite will be based on Greek myths and will likely add new things or gameplay elements.
- New DMR
- Comes in five rarities
- Each rarity’s damage is 58, 61, 64, 67, and 70
- Build damage is 63, 67, 70, 74, and 77
- Headshot damage is 102, 107, 112, 117, and 123
- Reload time ranges from 2.8 seconds to 2.1 seconds based on rarity
- Clip size of seven bullets
- Fire rate is 1.5
Not long ago, the same dataminer said that Fortnite might be releasing a new version of the Tactical Shotgun.
According to leaked specs, it has a smaller clip, slightly more damage, a slower fire rate, and a shorter time to reload. Like the DMR, this weapon might be shown for the first time on March 8 with Chapter 5 Season 2.
Researchers also found proof that Fortnite is planning a joint event with Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The event will start sometime in Chapter 5 Season 2. Leakers found signs that the event ends on May 3, which points to a start date in late April. However, data miners stressed that the date could just be a placeholder.
