The new season of Fortnite: Battle Royale may have just started, but that hasn’t stopped fans from trying to leak more items that might be coming to the game.

Epic and Legendary variants of the newly-added Infantry Rifle could join the game soon, according to FortniteBR.

The Infantry Rifle was introduced to Fortnite in update v7.40 on Feb. 14—but it’s only available as a Common, Uncommon, or Rare weapon at this time. Now, leaks suggest that more-powerful Epic and Legendary variants of the Infantry Rifle could be coming soon.

The leak also has reported weapon stats for these versions of the gun—the Epic variant would deal 47 damage, while the Legendary Infantry Rifle would deal 50. In comparison, the Common, Uncommon, and Rare Infantry Rifles deal 41, 43, and 45 damage, respectively.

These leaked variants are unconfirmed by Epic Games, however, so it’s unclear when (or if) these weapons would even join the game. If they are added eventually, though, the Epic and Legendary Infantry Rifles could be a decent weapon choice for fans who enjoy semi-automatic guns.
