Fortnite Season 9 is upon us and this can only mean one thing: Lots of new Fortnite content. It appears that Fortnite has gone a little Keanu Reeves and John Wick obsessed in Season 9, including the leaked Fortnite Tactical Assault Rifle. Read on to find out what the new Assault Rifle leak is, what the gun might do, and more.
What is the leaked Fortnite Tactical Assault Rifle?
Thanks to reliable Fortnite leaker Lucas7yoshi, we know that a brand-new Tactical Assault Rifle should be on the way to Fortnite. As you can see in the image above, the leaked Tactical Assault Rifle is a cool-looking weapon. With a grey-scale camo effect on the front of the rifle and what looks like a decent scope, you will definitely want to pick this gun up.
What’s especially neat, though, is that the Tactical Assault Rifle looks like the one John Wick uses in his films. All we need now is a pencil to get that full John Wick feeling into Fortnite.
It appears that it could well be connected to the John Wick LTM. According to Lucas7yoshi, the Tactical Assault Rifle might be connected to the LTM, anyway, although it cannot be confirmed. It appears as though there are three rarities for the weapon, too. You’ll be able to find it as Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
It’s not unheard of that new weapons are added into Fortnite via LTMs. The recent Avengers Endgame game mode introduced a whole variety of Marvel Superhero-inspired weapons into the game.
Fortnite Tactical Assault Rifle Stats
Thanks to stormshield.one, we can run through the leaked stats of the new Tactical Assault Rifle. Of course, as these stats are leaked, they are subject to change.
The leaked standard Tactical Assault Rifle stats are as follows:
- Damage: 22
- Environmental Damage: 25
- Fire Rate: 7
- Ammo Type: Light Bullets
- Magazine Size: 30
- Range: 8,000
- Impact: 28
- Reload Time: 2.2 seconds
With the Epic and Legendary variants, expect the base damage, environmental damage, and impact to go up by one or two each rarity level. The reload times will also reduce, with the Legendary version boasting a reload speed of 1.98 seconds. Interestingly, it appears as though all three rarities of the Tactical Assault Rifle lack any Critical Damage or Chance percentages.
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.
