Fortnite's Battle Royale mode may soon be getting swords

An interesting grouping of sound files has been discovered in the most recent update to Fortnite. You can hear the sounds above, which all seem to be tied to swords. Swords already appear in the Save the World mode, but not Battle Royale. The sound files are all named 'BR,' which could certainly make them seem tied to Battle Royale. We're not sure if this means a new weapon class is coming, or if these could be special sword-themed pickaxes on the way. We'll just have to hang tight and see what Epic ends up revealing!
