March 19, 2026: We updated this guide with the Fortnite new weapons added at the launch of Season 2 in Chapter 7.
New Fortnite weapons have been deployed for Season 2 of Chapter 7, to help you take down your rivals and earn progress towards the Showdown. These include the Vector 7 DMR, which is a high-damage but slow firing scoped rifle designed to take precision shots at range, and the Chaos Reloader Shotgun that fires one single devastating close-range blast at a time, but automatically reloads when not equipped.
Practical items have been added too, including Overdrive Grenades that give everyone they hit a speed boost, and a Skyline Deployer to launch ziplines for accessing those hard-to-reach areas. There are also items on the way that won't be unlocked until enough progress has been made in the Fortnite Rivalries, so make sure you're playing your part towards adding those to the loot poot.
As always with a fresh season of Fortnite, there are some previous guns that have now been consigned to the vault, while other items from previous seasons have been unvaulted to make their return to the game. To get up to speed, here are all of the new weapons in Fortnite Season 2, and everything that has been vaulted and unvaulted.
