Fortnite Adds Moe Szyslak's Ridiculous Five Gun in Latest Simpsons Update
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Fortnite's Simpsons season has added Moe Szyslak's ridiculous Five Gun alongside new weapons and giant falling doughnuts, giving players chaotic new tools just weeks before Chapter 7 begins.
Fortnite continues its pop culture crossover dominance with the current Simpsons themed season, and the latest update introduces a weapon straight out of Springfield history. As reported by Polygon, Epic Games has added the infamous Five Gun to the loot pool. Originally invented by Moe Szyslak in the season nine episode The Cartridge Family, this weapon welds a shotgun, two pistols, a revolver, and a submachine gun together into a single firing contraption via a clever string mechanism. In the game, the Epic and Legendary variants can be found in chests, supply drops, and Mr. Burns mystery boxes. While the visual of firing all five barrels simultaneously is hilarious, the gun comes with a practical gameplay trade off because it chews through both light ammo and shotgun shells at a rapid pace.
The update also brings a few other notable additions to the Springfield map, including the Deodorant Applicator which functions as a laser and the Cobalt Slingshot which operates like a bow using a durability meter instead of ammo. Players dropping into matches are also experiencing a bizarre weather anomaly where giant doughnuts fall from the sky across the map, adding a chaotic hazard reminiscent of classic utility items like Junk Rifts. These dynamic map elements keep content fresh for the streaming community and give creators plenty of clipping moments before the season wraps up.
With Chapter 7 right around the corner and the current Simpsons season scheduled to conclude on November 29, Epic is making the most of its IP mashups. These weapon additions demonstrate how live service games thrive on nostalgia and absurdity, giving players memorable sandbox toys that dominate social feeds and content creation platforms alike. Head over to Polygon for the original breakdown on how to track down Moe's chaotic creation in your next match.
