Fortnite‘s latest season officially launches today. With the beginning of a new season, the battle royale will see quite a few changes to the available arsenal. Chapter 2 Season 5 introduces several new weapons, in addition to vaulting, and unvaulting, some old ones.
Epic Games’ popular battle royale title just ended its Marvel-based Nexus War of Season 4 with the long-awaited arrival of Galactus. Players who dropped into the Fortnite Galactus Event found themselves teaming up with Iron Man, Thor, and Wolverine to bring down the world-eating villain.
Season 5 appears to be reverting some of the map back to older locations, including Flush Factory and Dusty Depot. Fortnite is also bringing back the fan-favorite area Tilted Towers, but with one big change. Much like the map, the array of weapons looks a lot different for the new season.
Every new season sees an assortment of weapons disappear from the game, possibly returning at a later time. Fortnite seems to be backtracking on the usage of traps in the game, removing the controversial Fire Trap. Also gone are the Legendary Pump and Combat shotguns, as well as the Scar. The total list of vaulted weapons for the start of Season 5 are:
- Revolver
- Fire Trap
- Scoped Assault Rifle
- Epic/Legendary Pump Shotgun
- Legendary Combat Shotgun
- Scar Assault Rifle
- Epic/Legendary Tactical SMG
In addition to weapons going into the vault, there are several which are making their return to Fortnite. Epic Games looks to be trading out some of the more powerful close-range weapons that were unvaulted in Season 4. However, re-adding three different shotguns in addition to the P90 and SMG should more than suffice. The list of weapons players can once again get their hands on are:
- Charge Shotgun
- Double Barrel Shotgun
- P90
- SMG
- Storm Scout Rifle
- Tactical Shotgun
- Balloons
The return of these weapons (and balloons) should certainly add a breath of fresh air into the game. However, Fortnite is adding all-new weapons to the latest season. According to Epic Games’ website, players will see the addition of weapons that allow them to attack in novel ways. Fortnite is not only adding The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda in Season 5, but his Amban sniper rifle as well. Players will discover other interestingly-named weapons on the map, including the Dragon’s Breath shotgun and the Night Hawk.
Although many players will almost certainly miss mainstays like the Scar assault rifle and higher-tier pump shotguns, the eclectic mix of returning weapons should provide an interesting change-up to the game. Plus, the new Fortnite story trailer certainly sets up some potentially interesting scenarios.
Fortnite is free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
