Upcoming Fortnite Update Will Remove a Fan-Favourite Weapon

Upcoming Fortnite Update Will Remove a Fan-Favourite Weapon

Another fan-favourite Fortnite weapon is going away soon, so grab it while it’s hot. In this case, it’s not as much about the item being vaulted, but the fact that the collab is nearing its final curtain. This means that Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun is going away along with it. But is there more to it than that? Let’s find out.

This gun has had a fun time in Fortnite, with many players recording crazy gameplay footage with it. Of course, with the gun and with Bender himself. However, the clock is ticking, and there’s only a couple of days left to take advantage of it.

Fan-Favourite Fortnite Gun, Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun, Will Be Vaulted Soon

You heard it right, the crazy robot’s crazy gun is going away. This information comes to us via iFireMonkey on Twitter. According to the tweet, Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun is going straight to the vault in about two days from the writing of this article. That means that it’s getting vaulted sometime on August 8 or 9, depending on the time zone. 

Many players consider that the item is being vaulted before the collab is over simply due to how OP it feels. Of course, as expected, the community has strong feelings about this. Many think that there are weapons that are in more dire need of vaulting than this. Then there are those who can’t wait for it to be gone.

Considering that Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun is classed as Mythic, it made sense for it to be on the more powerful side. JohnDaBot, who’s a clear Bender aficionado, remarks: “They should just leave it in, it’s only 17 more days for an item that wasn’t that easy to find anyway.  The game is more fun when multiple IPs and their items clash”.

Whether we like it or not, the weapon is going away. So take the opportunity to find it and play with it while you still can. In the meantime, check out some of our other Fortnite location guides, like Where is Shanty Town in Fortnite and Where Is Fort Crumpet in Fortnite.
