Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has seen the arrival of a few new weapons, while some of the older weapons have been removed from the game. So here’s a quick rundown of all the weapons that have been added and vaulted in the new season.

During every new season in Fortnite, Epic Games adds many new weapons for players to explore, while removing some of the older ones from the files. The same has happened in Chapter 5 Season 2 as well.

The developers do this to retain the attention of the players and to keep the meta fresh. Most of these weapons can be found scattered across the island, while the Mythics can only be found by defeating the bosses at some of the new POIs.

So here’s a list of all the weapons that you will come across in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 along with the ones that have been vaulted from the game.

The Mythic weapons that you see in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 have their regular variants that can be collected from the loot chests scattered around the island.

Apart from that, as mentioned in the official Chapter 5 Season 2 blog post, some of the weapons from the previous season have made a comeback too. These weapons are as follows:

  • Drum Gun

  • Gatekeeper Shotgun
  • Huntress DMR
  • Warforged AR
  • Hammer Pump Shotgun
  • Frenzy Auto Shotgun
  • Nemesis AR
  • Thunder Burst SMG

All these weapons can be found in different rarities across the island and you will be able to mod them too. Interestingly enough, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has two new weapon mods in the form of Thermal Scope and Speed Grip.
