Fortnite Weapons, New and Unvaulted
Four new Fortnite weapons will be available with the launch of Chapter 4 Season 3, including a boomerang weapon and a Transformers-themed Mythic cannon. Besides getting these new weapons, you’ll also be able to battle other players on the updated Fortnite Season 3 map, and you’ll be able to jump through the jungle canopy – keep an eye out for Wildwasps. Fortnite weapons and healing items have been vaulted to shrink loot. The latest Fortnite weapons are here, along with unvaulted and vaulted items.
The New Fortnite Weapons:
From the updated DMR with a thermal optic to the powerful Cybertron Cannon, Fortnite Season 3 has four new weapons. While you’re cutting your way through the new jungle in the Fortnite map, you can also collect a new grenade jar – the Wildwasp Jar – which releases an angry swarm of Wildwasps. Here’s everything you need to know about Fortnite Season 3 weapons:
Thermal DMR
This Thermal DMR replaces the now vaulted DMR, and is (unsurprisingly) a lot like the DMR with a thermal scope. You can toggle the thermal effect on and off if you just want to see normally with the weapon, and it’s a decent long-range rifle with a large magazine.
Flapjack Rifle
There is something very satisfying about shooting at a moving target with this Lewis Gun-inspired machine gun. It has a high-capacity magazine and puts out bullets at a moderate rate, making it a great tool for mid-range fights.
Kinetic Boomerang
When you launch the Kinetic Boomerang, it will deal damage to anyone in its path, even on its way back. Alternatively, you can recall it yourself to cause a small explosion as it cuts through the air.
Cybertron Cannon
Using the Cybertron Cannon, you can load up each shot in order to fire powerful, exploding blasts – great against players and Transformers as well as other rare weapons. However, the Cybertron Cannon is a colossal weapon, so it’s not something to use most often.
Vaulted Fortnite Weapons and Items
Season 3 of Fortnite has seen some weapons from previous seasons vaulted. Most notably, some incredibly useful healing items are among those. Here are all the weapons vaulted in Fortnite Season 3:
- Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle
- Overclocked Pulse Rifle
- Auto Aim Pistol
- Twin Mag SMG
- Combat Shotgun
- Mythic Enhanced Havoc Shotgun
- Normal DMR
- Dragon’s Breath Sniper
- Chug Splashes
- Shield Bubbles
- Shield Keg
Unvaulted Fortnite Weapons and Items
There have only been a handful of weapons and items released with the Wilds update for Fortnite Season 3 so far, but one of the weapons that has been revealed is the Mythic Drum Shotgun.
- Returning weapons and items
- Drum Shotgun (including the Mythic variant)
- Combat SMG
- Exotic Tracker Pistol
- Thermal Fish
Several of the Fortnite weapons that escaped the vault have made their way into Season 3. These weapons include the Havoc Pump Shotgun, Red-Eye Assault Rifle, Chug Cannon, and a few Heisted weapons.
