Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 is here, and a few new and returning weapons have come to the game to shake up the battle royale.
Here is a rundown of each of them, their core strengths, and whether or not they have been seen before in the battle royale.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2’s weapons are:
The Thermite, Rocket Drill, and Plasma Burst Laser are all brand new with the Lawless season. They are perfect for breaking into vaults, stealing loot, and getting out of tight spaces. The Rocket Drill will be arriving in patch 34.10, but the other two weapons are available at the season launch.
The Kneecapper is also brand new this season, and it is a powerful melee weapon. Holding it reduces the energy cost of sprinting and increases sprint speed and jump height, making it a great tool to have on you when it comes to getting around the map. It is available at thr season launch.
The Falcon Eye Sniper and Collateral Damage Assault Rifle are also brand new. Both are incredibly powerful weapons with a lot of stopping power. Arriving in patch 34.10 is the Outlaw Shotgun and Pump & Dump, two brand new shotguns that should shake up the weapon pool and playstyle.
