@FNBRLeaksUPDATE:
An in-game message in Fortnite: Battle Royale has officially confirmed that the Bouncer (Bounce Pad) mentioned in this article is “coming soon.”
New datamined game files have revealed new details regarding a new weapon, trap, and item that could be coming to Fortnite Battle Royale in the near future.
The details of the datamine come from FNBRLeaks, who regularly scour through Fortnite files to reveal new information.
Since the popular battle royale game exploded onto the gaming scene a few months back, Epic Games developers have continued to update the game regularly with new features for players to enjoy.
Recent new items such as the Jetpack were found in datamined files before they found their way into the game.
Files reveal a ‘Stink Bomb’ gas grenade that could be coming to the fan favorite battle royale soon.

Among other details, a ceiling trap that releases tires from up to 3 tiles high may also be coming to the player versus player mode.
Ceiling Drop Trap MAY be converted from StW to Battle Royale like what we saw with the Hunting Rifle. This is in the Athena Files! (Athena Is Battle Royale). The First pic shows all the traps, Vaulted & Available. BUT We haven’t seen the Drop Trap ever added to BR! Will it come? pic.twitter.com/jdygwqN0ft
