The Zapper Trap coming to 'Fortnite'
“Fortnite BR’s” content feed was also updated and if Lucas’ screenshot is anything to go by, it may well seem that the previously leaked item known as the Zapper Trap will be officially introduced in the game. A Final Showdown set was also revealed as it has some new styles.
The Zapper Trap was data mined by leakers as soon as “Fortnite’s” v10.20 update went live, though stats of the soon-to-be-released item were scarce back then. Recently dug up intel suggests that the Zapper Trap will have an Epic rarity with a damage of 50 and a reload time of 2.0 seconds (damage of 50 every two seconds?).

B.R.U.T.E.s in core game modes, Rift Zone/POI survey questions
Lucas also tweeted something about the infamous B.R.U.T.E.s being enabled in core game modes of “Fortnite” as it was confirmed by the hotfix files.
It was during that time that he pointed out that the change has not affected both of the games Arena and Tournament modes yet.
Prior to this, the data miner also took to Twitter to reveal that Epic Games added what he calls “survey question things for all of the Rift Zones in the game including all of “Fortnite BR’s” points of interest (POI).
One of the survey questions reads:
Question: Overall, how do you feel about the Pandora Rift Zone east of Lucky Landing in “Fortnite: Battle Royale?”
Answer 1: Very negative
Answer 2: Very positive
Mech's have been enabled in core game modes as confirmed by the hotfix files
This will take effect over time pic.twitter.com/10JwfHmoeG
