The excitement surrounding Fortnite’s upcoming Simpsons crossover mini-season continues to build as new leaks hint at an iconic weapon coming to the game. According to reliable Fortnite dataminers, players can expect a brand-new Mythic weapon inspired by Moe Szyslak’s absurd “five-barrel shotgun” from The Simpsons.
The Fortnite x Simpsons collaboration has already become one of the most anticipated events in the game’s history. With Chapter 6 Season 4 wrapping up on November 1, Epic Games will kick off a new month-long mini-season centered around the beloved animated sitcom. Fans can look forward to special character skins, themed cosmetics, and unique gameplay mechanics — all drawing inspiration from Springfield’s most chaotic residents.
🔫 Moe’s Shotgun to Become a Fortnite Mythic Weapon
A trusted Fortnite leaker known as NotPalo recently revealed on social media that the next mini-season will feature a one-of-a-kind Mythic weapon modeled after Moe’s infamous gun from The Simpsons. The weapon first appeared in the show’s Season 9, Episode 5 titled “The Cartridge Family,” where Moe proudly demonstrates his custom “five-barrel” firearm at a National Rifle Association meeting.
In the episode, Moe brags that with “a few minor adjustments, you can turn a regular gun into five guns,” holding up his bizarre contraption made of a shotgun welded to four smaller weapons. Fortnite’s take on the gun is expected to keep the same chaotic energy, though likely reworked for balance and gameplay purposes.
While Epic Games hasn’t confirmed the weapon officially, early leaks suggest that Moe’s Gun will function as a high-damage close-range Mythic — possibly firing multiple projectiles at once or allowing different ammo types for each barrel. If these rumors prove accurate, it could become one of the most powerful Mythic weapons ever added to Fortnite, capable of shredding through opponents in seconds.
🧩 What We Know About the Fortnite × Simpsons Mini-Season
The Simpsons collaboration will reportedly begin immediately after the live event on November 1, which will mark the transition between Chapter 6 and the new mini-season. Much like previous November mini-seasons in 2023 and 2024, the event will last roughly four weeks, introducing new cosmetics, creative modes, and possibly a limited-time map update featuring Springfield landmarks such as Moe’s Tavern and the Kwik-E-Mart.
Leaked promotional images have already shown Bart Simpson as a playable skin, along with stylized loading screens featuring Homer and other Springfield residents. Players are also speculating that the Treehouse of Horror aesthetic could influence certain map areas, bringing a spooky and humorous tone to the season.
If Epic follows the structure of past collaborations like Dragon Ball Z and Marvel Zero War, players can expect both Battle Pass rewards and store-exclusive bundles, including emotes, pickaxes, and back blings themed around the show.
🕹️ Community Excitement and Speculation
The Fortnite community has been buzzing with theories since the leak dropped. Many fans are eager to see how the developers will implement Moe’s multi-barrel gun without breaking the game’s balance. Some players believe it might work similarly to the Exotic Heisted Breacher Shotgun, offering devastating short-range bursts but with long reload times or limited ammo.
Others suggest it could introduce a brand-new mechanic where players can switch between different barrels, each firing a unique ammo type or elemental effect — for example, explosive, incendiary, or electric rounds.
Regardless of how it functions, the weapon’s inclusion already has players hyped. It represents the perfect blend of The Simpsons’ humor and Fortnite’s over-the-top creativity, making it one of the most fitting and exciting crossovers to date.
🎬 What’s Next for Fortnite’s Simpsons Season
Epic Games has not officially commented on the leak, but the developer has a long history of teasing major collaborations through cryptic loading screens and in-game assets. Given that the crossover was officially confirmed earlier this week through a short teaser featuring Kang and Kodos, it’s only a matter of time before more concrete details emerge.
Until then, players can look forward to the Fortnite × Simpsons live event on November 1 at 11 AM ET, which will serve as the kickoff for this crossover season. The downtime following the event will prepare the servers for the launch of the new themed content.
Whether or not Moe’s weapon ends up being as chaotic as its cartoon counterpart, one thing is certain: Fortnite’s upcoming Simpsons season is shaping up to be one of its most creative crossovers yet.
