Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: All New Vaulted and Unvaulted Weapons
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is here, bringing a fresh batch of weapons to the battlefield.
From old favorites making a comeback to brand-new additions, players have plenty to look forward to regarding firepower. As we dive into this mythological-themed season, let’s take a closer look at the array of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 weapons available, both old and new!
Mythic Thunderbolt of Zeus
The Thunderbolt of Zeus lets players fly and shoot lightning bolts at their enemies. This mythic weapon boasts a maximum of three charges, each followed by a cooldown period to prevent excessive spam.
How to get Thunderbolt of Zeus: search on the island or beat Zeus to get it.
Gatekeeper Shotgun
Forged by Hephaestus, the Gatekeeper Shotgun is a fearsome three-burst shotgun designed to unleash a relentless attack at close range. Wield this weapon with precision, as each burst requires a full reload.
How to get Gatekeeper Shotgun: The standard variant can be found scattered across the island. Another way is to defeat Cerberus to acquire the mythic version.
Harbinger SMG: Hades’ Relentless Wrath
This SMG is like Hades himself, relentless and powerful. It’s accurate at first but gets harder to control the longer you shoot.
How to get Harbinger SMG: Hunt for the regular version around the island or take on Hades for the mythic one.
Huntress DMR
Inspired by the goddess of the hunt, Artemis, the Huntress DMR is a deadly marksman’s rifle designed to attack from afar. Originally meant for gods to punish mortals, now it’s up to players to use it against anyone, god or mortal.
How to get Huntress DMR: Find the regular Huntress DMRs on the island or try to beat Zeus for the mythic upgrade.
Warforged Assault Rifle
The Warforged Assault Rifle is a favorite of Ares. Boasting high damage output and an equally high rate of fire, this assault rifle is powerful but hard to control because of its high recoil.
How to get Warforged Assault Rifle: Look for the regular version across the island, or prove your worth by challenging Ares himself to claim the mythic version.
Returning Weapons from Chapter 5 Season 1
While the island embraces the arrival of new mythic armaments, familiar faces from the previous season have also made their grand return:
- Hammer Pump Shotgun
- Frenzy Auto Shotgun
- Nemesis AR
- Thunder Burst SMG
- Reaper Sniper Rifle
- Ranger Pistol
Wings of Icarus
In addition to the formidable weapons, players can now take flight with the Wings of Icarus, a mythic power granting the ability to soar through the air and crash down on enemies.
However, caution is advised, as prolonged flight may lead to the wings burning up, and taking too much damage could result in a catastrophic crash landing.
Weapon Mods: Thermal Scope and Speedgrip
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 also introduces two new weapon mods, the Thermal Scope, and Speedgrip, to further enhance your weapons. The Thermal Scope doubles your scope view and adds a thermal effect, while the Speedgrip mod increases your movement speed while aiming.
These mods can be found at Mod Benches located within the newly introduced Weapon Bunkers, which will unlock mid-match, adding an extra layer of intensity to the showdowns.
With all these new weapons and items pulled straight from Greek myths, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has become a striking battleground. As Epic Games continues to deliver updates, including the recent new Fortnite Myths and Mortals POIs, Battle Pass content, and patch notes, players can expect a more promising gameplay experience.
