The V6.30 Update for Fortnite Battle Royale officially released on Wednesday, November 14, and with it brought the new Mounted Turret.

Interestingly, Epic Games have classed the Mounted Turret as a Legendary Trap item, and not a weapon, making it the first trap which players can sit in and control.

The item can be found in Supply Drops, Floor Loot, Vending Machines and Supply Llamas, and comes with unlimited ammo - although players won’t be able to fire the Mounted Turret constantly as it will overheat after extended use.
The Mounted Turret can only be placed on floors, and makes the floor piece it is sitting on invulnerable to damage, meaning enemy players can’t destroy the area it’s sitting on to take it out.

The item does take damage from enemy fire, and can be used by any player once it has been placed, regardless of whether they are a member of your team or not.

The weapon description states that the Mounted Turret will help “keep enemy players at bay,” and judging by this clip from ‘KaiX‘, it certainly seems like it will be able to do just that.


The Mounted Turret appears to have a high rate of fire, and deals around 40 damage points to an enemy player when they are shot by the heavy duty item.

It also tears through enemy walls and ramps, destroying them in seconds, meaning this item could be perfect to use when attempting to take down an enemy base.

The Mounted Turret is included in the V6.30 update and is live now, available in all game modes, so hop into the Battle Bus and go and try it out for yourself.

Fortnite developer Epic has been introducing new weapons and items to the hit game with nearly every update, and it looks like that trend will continue with this week's patch. Fortnite's in-game News feed has now given us our first glimpse at a new weapon on the way to Battle Royale mode: the Mounted Turret. [Update: Fortnite's 6.30 patch is now live, bringing the Mounted Turret as well as the new Food Fight LTM to Battle Royale.]

Judging by its description in the feed, the Mounted Turret seems like it'll be fairly different from the other kinds of weapons you can pick up in the game. "Place the Mounted Turret and hop in to apply some suppressive fire," the description reads. However, it also warns the weapon can overheat, so you'll want to use it strategically if you're lucky enough to come across one. You can take a look at it below.
