Fortnite Drum Gun : IS IT OP?!








fortnite drum gun infront of a golden background
The new Drum gun has been added into Fortnite through the 4.5 Content Update. There was no down time for servers and was just added into the gun.

The Gun itself is very similar to the Tommy gun or Thompson WWII gun but with a large drum magazine. Fortnite describe it as a hybrid with the stopping power of an assault rifle but with the fire rate and suppressive ability of an SMG. However it is placed into the SMG category appropriately. 

The weapon itself is in the rarity of Uncommon and Rare. Does that mean there is a legendary SMG still coming?!

The weapon has a base damage of 26/27 (Uncommon / Rare) which is a lot for an SMG and a fire rate of 9. It compensates the high fire rate with a monstrous magazine capacity of 50 rounds. It takes Medium Bullets so keep an eye on the assault rifles as you don't want to be left with no bullets for your rifles. However, it has a long reload time of 3 seconds which could be the difference between dieing and winning a gun fight.

It can be found virtually everywhere from floor loot and chests. The retro gun has a Godly sound effect when shot , take a listen!





So what do you think of the new gun : Is it Overpowered or just right enough! Leave a comment !

NVIDIA Reveals 32GB TITAN V 'CEO' EDITION

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has revealed a 32GB TITAN card based on the already monstrous Titan V which was priced at $3000 . It supersedes any previous record holders of the most powerful card. However , don't expect to get your hands on it any time soon as it is only available to 20 lucky researchers at Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition 2018 at Salt Lake City. It is called the 'CEO' Edition but is still based on the same architecture as the vanilla Titan V but has a hefty increase of VRAM, from 12GB TO 32GB and other increases in performance. It is specifically designed for machine learning but one can definitely use it for gaming but its price tag isn't in reach for most consumers. Its performance is on par with Nvidia's much more expensive Tesla series.  Specs include :   Volta Architecture  125 Deep Learning Tera...

What PC Component Should YOU Upgrade ? GUIDE

Ever wondered what computer part you should upgrade but didn't know the performance increase or what benefits it will give ? Well you have come to the right place ! Computer Hardware can be mixed and matched (mostly ) creating thousands of combinations so if one upgrade improves the performance for one PC , it might not improve your computer as much. The jargon for this is called a “ bottleneck ” . This means that one or many components of your PC is restricting the computer achieving its max capabilities. In the image above, it shows the vast difference in performance during a gaming session. The bottleneck side shows how the specific components of the computer aren’t using their maximum capabilities. The GPU is not being used to its full potential , at only 50% which means there is another component bottle-necking the system. In this case it is the CPU which is being stressed at high usages whereas the GPU is “ relaxing ”. For this scenario , you...
