There’s a moment in Fortnite’s Season 10/X trailer when Jonesy is flying through space and a gold weapon flies past him. He makes a grab for it, but it sails on past.
The weapon? The marvelous Tactical SMG, guaranteed to shred your enemies (or be shredded by them). It was also one of the items in “The Unvaulting” event, but lost out to the boring Drum Gun.
Now it’s back. In the v10.30 patch update Epic Games has unvaulted the Tactical SMG, and there was much rejoicing.
I’m particularly pleased by this returned fan favorite especially after Epic vaulted the Combat Shotgun. The studio also vaulted the Burst SMG this morning, which was a fun gun but not as fun as the Tac.
Lots of other big changes came with today’s update, including two new Rift Zones, leaked challenges and more. The return of the Tactical SMG is one of the better things about this season, so far, which I have to say has been lackluster at best. Hopefully all these new leaked locations point toward a brand new map. Fortnite could use a big change at this point.
