Fortnite Storm Scout Sniper Rifle may get disabled for Fortnite World Cup Finals

Fortnite Solo and Duos World Cup finals are just around the corner, and Epic Games recently released an insanely powerful Storm Scout Sniper Rifle with Fortnite update v9.41. This new rifle gives players the ability to predict the next storm circle.

If someone is lucky enough to find this new firearm then he will surely be having an advantage over others. So, including this weapon in the Fortnite World Cup is not a good idea where players will compete for whopping $3 million prize money.

However, we have some good news for players who are part of the Fortnite World Cup finals, the new Storm Scout Sniper rifle might not be included in the Fortnite World Cup finals as per a discord message.

Team Atlantis’ Dimitri ‘mitr0’ Van de Vrie shared a screenshot of a discord message about the non-inclusion of the Storm Scout Sniper Rifle from the World Cup Solo and Duos events on his official Twitter handle. Have a look at the shared discord message below.

It seems like some official person posted this on Discord. However, Epic Games has not officially commented on the matter yet.

According to the official Epic Games blog, the new sniper rifle has a weather map embedded in the sniper’s scope that shows upcoming storm circles, and players having this weapon will surely have an advantage in the late stages of the game.

● Headshot damage: 202 / 212
● Fire rate: 1.1 per second
