This iteration of the Drum Gun is a reworked version of its predecessor, functioning more like an SMG. In this article, we will guide you through the process of acquiring the Drum Gun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.

How To Get Drum Gun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

There are several ways to obtain the new Drum Gun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. It is integrated into Fortnite's standard loot distribution, making it available across the entire map. This allows players to discover it on the ground, within chests, supply drops, and drones located at Hot Spots.

Additionally, there are two alternative methods to acquire a Drum Gun. New Midas Vending Machines have been placed throughout the map, where players can purchase the rare version for 200 Gold Bars, the epic version for 300 Gold Bars, and the legendary version for 400 Gold Bars.

You can also purchase it from Midas himself, who is located on The Marigold yacht. It is on the west side of the island, between The Underground and areas with grass. You can purchase an epic version of the weapon for 300 Gold Bars or defeat the NPC to obtain a rare variant of the Drum Gun.

Keep in mind that the new Drum Gun is not the same weapon as it was in previous chapters. It is a reworked version that functions like an SMG and can vary in rarity from Rare to Legendary. A Mythic version of the weapon exists, but it is currently unknown how to acquire it or if it is not enabled yet. Here are all the statistics of the Drum Gun:
