All Fortnite new weapons, vaulted and unvaulted for Season 3 Runners
Here's a list of all the new Fortnite weapons for Season 3 of Chapter 7, themed around chaos or precision
June 17, 2026: I refreshed this guide to confirm that the Warforged Assault Rifle has been unvaulted, while the Chaos Reloader Shotgun has been returned to the vault for being too powerful.
New Fortnite weapons have been deployed for Season 3 of Chapter 7, to help you take down your rivals with either chaos or precision. These include the Chaos Exploder Rifle, which is an AR that fires explosive cubes and can be particularly useful for clearing cover between you and an opponent, and the Lancehead Pistol which is John Wick's sidearm and can be used to perform his signature move of throwing the spent magazine at enemies while reloading to deal additional damage.
Practical items have been added too, including the Seven Sliders that let players slide fast than they can run, and if you aim down sights with your equipped weapon then you'll slow down time so you can line up the perfect shot, before using the jets to launch yourself high into the air.
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 seasons past 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 3, and everything that has been vaulted and unvaulted.
Make sure you get the lowdown on the Fortnite Sprites, as their powers can make a big difference in the battle royale this season, and rescue or pet John Wick's dog in Fortnite to earn his canine companion.
