This article outlines all the new weapons Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 has in store for players when it arrives on Aug. 7!
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock ‘N Awesome is almost here. The game's latest update will drop on Thursday, Aug. 7, following the usual downtime period. Ahead of the launch, Epic Games surprisingly released a rundown of what players can expect in Chapter 6 Season 4, including all the new weapons.
The weapons are interesting and fit nicely into the "bug invasion" theme on display this season. Here's what you can expect when you drop in on Aug. 7.
All new weapons and items in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4
Repetition is not usually Fortnite's strong suit from season to season. That means an entire new arsenal of weapons and items to learn and master in Chapter 6 Season 4. The new season will feature everything from a new Shotgun to a laser-guided Rocket Launcher, and even a Power Rangers Mythic.
Below is a complete list of the new weapons and items with a brief description where applicable that will appear in the normal loot pool:
- Bug Blaster: Allows you to fire explosive plasma projectiles or a massive charged blast
- Swarmstrike: Laser-guided rocket launcher
- Leadspitter 3000 minigun
- Sweeper Shotgun
- O.X.R. Rifle
- Wrecker Revolver
- Roly Poly (available later in the season): A mobility item that allows you to roll and bounce around the map. You can charge it to increase the speed at which you travel.
- Power Rangers Blade Blaster (available later in the season): Described as a "sci-fi energy pistol" that allows for quick-tap firing or a charged blast.
That's not all, though. The Season 4 blog post also outlined some new Exotic weapons that will be available to players who reach O.X.R. Rank A and navigate to a bunker nearby.
