In Fortnite, they like to rotate the weapons to mix the meta. Leakers have a matching information about the return of an old sniper and that could mix up the fight.
Which weapon is it about? It is the Reaper sniper that appeared in Fortnite for the first time with Chapter 5. The trustworthy Leaker Hypex has introduced a small list of exotic weapons that could possibly return to the loot pool in the new update of Chapter 6-including this sniper (via X.com).
With the naked eye, it is only an ordinary sniper with decorations, but the rifle is a strong option for fighting especially for a kind of players.

Why is the weapon controversial? The sniper has a special perk that enables you to follow players who have suffered damage. These are then marked and it is easier not to lose sight of them when escaping. In construction mode, the weapon is not a threat, but if you play without building, opinions differ.
Reddit-User Parkesy82 has the following to say: “I will say that 95 % of the people who love these snipers are bush camping noobs.” The User Repealer shares the opinion of Parkesy82 and even went to Chapter 5 so far that it was the worst meta at the time.
Above all, as Boringtired confirms, a sniper in mid and late game in non-construction mode is mandatory. Otherwise you have no chance, because many players hide and kill their opponents with a shot from a distance. Aggressive gameplay is punished by the patient campers. So if the weapon actually comes, the meta could be whirled up.
When does the new update start? According to Leakern, the update should take place on March 11, 2025 in the morning. However, the date has not yet been confirmed. So Epic Games could adapt the release period at any time.
