Fortnite Grapple Gun release date - Chapter 3 Season 3

Arguably the most prominent leaker in all of Fortnite, HYPEX recently revealed that the Grapple Gun will arrive in Fortnite on 14th June via an update/hotfix.

• Fortnite weapons update - Striker Burst AR, Combat SMG, Two-Shot Shotgun
• Fortnite Week 1 challenges - Chapter 3 Season 3
• Fortnite bunny hop Chapter 3 Season 3 - Is it a bug?
• All Baller locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3

Many other leaks suggested that the Junk Rift could also return to Fortnite as part of the June 14 hotfix, as the item has been vaulted since Chapter 2. But at the time of writing, only the Grapple Gun has been confirmed for the next patch.

In Tomorrow's Content Hotfix we may see the release of the Grapple Glove and the return of the Junk Rift. Or we might see both!
