Epic Games’ Fortnite is one of the biggest names in gaming, but you can’t deny that it’s a far from perfect game.
Fortnite, which receives regular content updates, new weapons and limited edition goods, has often been criticised for its Vault decisions.

Once a weapon is removed from the core game it retired to the Vault, where it can be reintroduced in the future.
In the past, Epic Games has made some curious decisions about which weapons deserve to be Vaulted, keeping much-hated guns in the game and Vaulting fan favourites.

Pro Fortnite player, Beehive, who represents Luminosity Gaming, has come up with a pretty serious conspiracy theory that’s got the cogs in my head turning.
“I just realized the reason the silenced pistol and the Tac haven’t been vaulted is because Fortnite collaborated with Nerf to make three guns: Scar, Tac, and silenced pistol,” Beehive tweeted [via Dexerto]. “I bet it’s in the contract to not remove them. This game is a f*cking meme.”
How innnnteresting!
Honestly it could be true, both guns are pretty bad but Tac shotgun is kinda an icon for Fortnite, and this too.

Beehive isn’t the only one to make the connection. Many users responding to the tweet saying that they believe the relation is more than just a coincidence.
So true, they have moved so many guns in and out of the vault but they have never touched these three

Of course, we don’t expect Epic Games to respond to the conspiracy theory, but it’s definitely an interesting one to keep in mind next time a weapon gets Vaulted.

Do you think there could be any truth to the theory, or is Beehive reaching here?
