After today’s Fortnite update, quite a lot of new content has been datamined. This includes the leaked Fortnite Burst SMG. While we don’t know for sure if the Burst SMG will make its way into Fortnite definitely, the Fortnite Burst SMG stats have been datamined, too. Read on to find out what the Burst SMG in Fortnite is and what its stats are like.
What is the leaked Fortnite Burst SMG?
Thanks to Storm Shield One, we know what the Burst SMG looks like and what kind of power it has under its hood. We’ll focus on its stats below, however. For now, just having a look at the Burst SMG (which you can see in the image above), it is… definitely an SMG. A small one, though.
Submachine guns already exist within Fortnite, so what will make the Burst SMG stand out? Instantly, it looks different. It’s small size and white/grey design certainly looks cool enough. The main difference, however, is that it is a burst SMG. This means that it will more than likely fire bursts of bullets, rather than a steady stream of the things. You will fire off three-five bullets very quickly (perfect for headshots and accuracy), with a gap in-between each burst if you hold the shoot button down. How powerful is the Burst SMG, though?
Fortnite Burst SMG Stats
Again, thanks to Storm Shield One, we know that there are three variants of the Burst SMG. These are common, uncommon, and rare. Please bear in mind that the following stats have been datamined and are subject to change when the gun does make its way into Fortnite. You can see the common, uncommon, and rare Burst SMG stats respectively below:
- Damage: 23 | 24 | 25
- Critical Chance: 0%
- Fire Rate: 3.4
- Magazine Size: 20
- Ammo Type: Light Bullets
- Range: 4,000
- Reload Time: 2.475 | 2.3625 | 2.25
- Impact: 25 | 27 | 28
- Environmental Damage: 18 | 19 | 20
It will be interesting to see exactly how the community takes to the Burst SMG. It’s safe to say that new weapons and items can have rocky landings. These stats don’t suggest anything too powerful or too weak, however.
Rarest Fortnite Skins

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
