With the update, the developers have added a new name to this list, the Lever Action Shotgun. With a single well-aimed shot, this gun can knock down opponents and has the potential to be a fan favorite.

While the latest Lever Action Shotgun is part of the regular loot pool, the newly introduced Hop Rock Dualies belong to the exotic-class. Exotic weapons in Fortnite stand out among the others owing to their explosive damage and stats.

The developers have even extended the discount on the price of these weapons; hence, players should make no delay in trading bars with the NPCs and get their hands on the Hop Rock Dualies.
