Zapotron (Battle Royale)

Trivia[]

• Due to the Zapotron being in the game for barely over an hour during the Pre-Season, when Fortnite was not as popular as it is today, there is only one known video of someone using it in Battle Royale before it was re-added in OG Chapter 1: Season 2.
• Despite most people claiming the Zapotron was only in the game for 30 minutes, it was actually in the game for just over an hour.
• It is the first (and only) weapon in Battle Royale that uses Energy Cells as a pickup. Other weapons use it but have an unlimited version (such as the Kymera Ray Gun)
• The Zapotron was the first weapon to be removed from Battle Royale.
• It’s also one of the few to be re-added back to the files.
• The Zapotron was not technically Vaulted, as its removal was before the concept of The Vault existed.
• The weapon is very similar to the Legendary Zapotron in Save the World, and speculative statistics are based on the weapon's function in that mode.
• The Zapotron may have been inspired by the Tau Cannon from the videogame Half-Life.
• The charge-up mechanic was re-used for the Rail Gun.
• In an AMA on Reddit in 2019, when asked if the Zapotron would ever return, the official response was simply "The what? 🤔🌩".

Cameo Appearances[]

• In Update v17.40, the Zapotron made its first appearance in Fortnite since its removal.
  • It could be seen vaulted in The Bridge in the Impostors Gamemode.
  • It was inaccessible, and appeared in a similar fashion to the items in The Vault during The Unvaulting Event.
• In Float to Artemis, the Zapotron made another cameo appearance as debris that has a chance of appearing drifting in the ocean.
• In Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War Issue 1, Doctor Slone could be seen using the Zapotron to fight The Seven in the comic. It glowed yellow and could have been fired rapidly.
• In Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War Issue 2, Slone could have been seen wielding it again in one page while blasting Thor.
• The Zapotron can also be seen being wielded by the T-60 Power Armor Outfit in the T-60 Power Armor Loading Screen, making it 9 seasons since its last appearance.
  • This Zapotron is visually slightly different, as it contains an opening on both sides, and lacks some small details present on the original.
