New Fortnite Weapons in Chapter 6 Season 2

This season introduces a variety of new weapons that perfectly align with its high-octane heist theme. Here’s a breakdown of the latest additions:

1. Thermite

   • The ultimate vault-cracking tool. Thermite is the only way to break into vaults, though the Plasma Burst Laser can help weaken the vault’s defenses before applying the thermite.

2. Pump & Dump Shotguns

   • Arriving in the season’s first major patch, these dual-wielding shotguns feature a crypto-scam-inspired name, perfectly fitting the season’s GTA-like vibes.

3. The Kneecapper

   • A mobster-themed melee weapon that boosts mobility, allowing you to move faster, jump higher, and cover more ground—similar to last season’s katana.

4. Rocket Drill

   • Also arriving in the first patch, this explosive tool promises to be a game-changer for traversal, potentially becoming the season’s go-to mobility item.

5. Falcon Eye Sniper

   • A new sniper rifle designed for sharpshooters, offering precision and power for long-range engagements.

6. Collateral Damage Assault Rifle

   • A versatile assault rifle ideal for players who prefer an all-purpose weapon.

7. Outlaw Shotgun

   • Coming in the first patch, this shotgun is expected to pack a punch for close-quarters combat.

8. Sub-Zero’s Kombat Kit

   • Tied to the battle pass character Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, this kit grants icy abilities like sliding and frosty fists, perfect for post-Reboot-Van revenge.

Note: Epic Games has not yet confirmed which weapons from past seasons will return. However, based on recent trends, expect some fan favorites to be unvaulted as the season progresses. For example, a grenade launcher was spotted in the season’s debut trailer, though it hasn’t been officially announced yet.

New Utility Items

It’s not just about the guns—this season also introduces a range of new gadgets and utility items to enhance your gameplay:

1. Pulse Scanner

   • A must-have for tactical players, this gadget pings nearby enemies, giving you a strategic edge in battles.

2. Port-A-Cover

   • A quick defensive solution for both Build and Zero Build modes, providing instant cover against aggressive enemies or NPCs.

3. Med-Mist Grenade

   • A brand-new healing item that lets you toss healing mist at your teammates. Just be careful not to aim for their faces!

4. Gold Splash

   • This item grants nearby players the Gold Rush ability and 20 HP, making it a valuable team support tool.

What to Expect Moving Forward

Epic Games has a history of introducing new loot at the start of a season and unvaulting fan-favorite items as the season progresses. Keep an eye out for updates and patches, as more weapons and gadgets may be added to the loot pool.
