The Fortnite Combat Assault Rifle made its debut appearance during an in-game video, explaining how the War Effort system works in the game – players visit Fortnite Item Donation Boards and spend gold bars to vote for one of two weapons they want to see unvaulted or added to the loot pool, with the first choice to reach 100% funding being unlocked immediately for use and the loser returning to obscurity. According to the video presenter Emily, “as the season unfolds, J.B. [Chimpanski] will be preparing new tools and old favorites to help combat the Sideways monsters, like a Shockwave Launcher, or the new Combat Assault Rifle accompanied by a brief clip of the gun being fired by Charlotte.

As the initial vote between the Shockwave Launcher and Rift-To-Go has been concluded, with the former being added to the battle royale, it’s now time for the Fortnite Combat Assault Rifle to go up against the Combat SMG in the next head-to-head as confirmed by the Fortnite patch notes for v18.20. Make sure you start depositing your gold bars ASAP, so you can contribute to getting your choice of weapon up to 100% funding.
