It looks like Fortnite explosive barrels might make an appearance after a Reddit user’s post caught the eye of the Epic dev team.
In gaming, if you see a red barrel or propane tank or propane accessories, you know if you shoot it, it blows up. Pretty much every game has this feature, especially if you are on something like Call of Duty. Heck, even PUBG has that feature.
