The tagline for this new weapon is: “Stay one step ahead of the Storm by scoping in to see its next location!” In addition to this new weapon, the Content Update also included Birthday Presents: “They say the best gifts are surprises. Open up these Legendary items commemorating Fortnite’s second birthday to see what loot awaits.” Presents have six possible packages of loot and are not available in Arena or Tournament modes. They can be found from Floor loot, Chests, Vending Machines, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
Birthday Cake has also been added at various points on the map: “Celebrate another year of Fortnite with some Birthday Cake! Find this sweet treat around the map and get some Health & Shield.” The cake adds five health and five shield, and it’s not available in Arena or Tournament modes.
