New Fortnite weapons have been deployed for Season 4 of Chapter 6, to assist in the battle against the bugs that have invaded the island. There's a fresh Swarmstrike rocket launcher that fires multiple projectiles and is great for taking out a cluster of targets, while the Leadsplitter 3000 minigun should help you to cut through swarms of enemies. Level up your rank to find new Exotics in OXR Bunkers, or take down giant Queen bugs to collect fresh Mythic weapons.

After last season, Super, which saw the entire Fortnite loot pool replaced with Superhero weapons, Shock 'N Awesome introduces an array of bug hunting weapons that should help you hold your own against the invading threat. There's currently no sign of returning firearms, so you'll need to get used to the new arms at your disposal. Here are all of the new weapons in Fortnite Season 4, and everything that has been vaulted and unvaulted.

The v37.00 update also brought new loot to Fortnite OG Season 5, so there's a section further down to cover that too.

With so many new bug hunting weapons deployed in the field, we currently aren't aware of any standard weapons that have been unvaulted and reintroduced to the Fortnite weapon loot pool for Season 4 of Chapter 6. If this changes, we will add them to this section.
