If you like the Swords you can use in Fortnite Save the World mode, good news—Fortnite Swords may soon be available in Battle Royale mode. There have already been a few hints that this might be the case, but recent datamining has uncovered fresh evidence.
Here is the Evidence for Swords Coming to Battle Royale
@FortTory on Twitter posted the following:

The text reads simply, “BRsword sound files PART: 1 !”
In the tweet is a video. You can watch as @FortTory clicks through the sound files and listen to each one as it plays.
While a datamine is not a guarantee of a coming feature, it is usually pretty solid evidence, especially coming from a source as reliable as @FortTory. Since “BR_Sword_” is in the filenames, that certainly seems to imply we will be getting them in Battle Royale mode.
There is also this image to consider:
This showed up in the loading screen for Week 1 of Season 7. The Ice King and Sgt. Winter each have Swords, though it is impossible to say whether they are Wraps or variants of the same Sword or whether they are two completely different Swords.
Other Swords which have been featured in Fortnite include the Ruler Sword, the Shortblade, the Two-Handed Sword, the Machete, the Ninjato, the Highlander, the Argon Axe, and many others.
There is a lot going on in Season 7 of Fortnite, so make sure you take a break from combat and swing by our Fortnite news section now and again. We will keep you posted on Battle Royale Swords and other rumors and developments!
