In Season 2 of Chapter 6, Fortnite introduces a range of exciting new weapons as the battle royale island embraces chaos. With a focus on heists and stealing valuable loot, players can use helpful Thermite explosives to break through heavily secured doors and powerful weapons to damage weak points for quicker access. The Falcon Eye Sniper lets you pick off enemies from a distance with three shots before needing a reload, while the Plasma Burst Laser can devastate anything in its path once fully charged. For those seeking the most effective weapons, visiting the Fortnite Black Markets is essential once you have accumulated some Gold Bars or Dill Bits.
Additionally, there are some new utility items that can provide a significant advantage in gameplay. The Pulse Scanner reveals the locations of nearby chests, containers, and, most importantly, enemies. Meanwhile, the Gold Splash offers quick healing and grants the Gold Rush effect, allowing for speedy movement and the ability to break through ore with ease. To keep track of what’s new and what’s been vaulted this season, check out the complete list of new, vaulted, and unvaulted weapons for Season 2 of Chapter 6 below.
