The new Fortnite Season 2 weapons have been unveiled, and the loot pool appears poised to disrupt last season’s SMG meta by reintroducing the shotgun as a viable close-quarters option. Season 2 also added many new weapons and items, as well as generally improved the game’s visuals and performance. A number of legendary weapons from previous seasons have been unvaulted, bringing back some fan favorites with some new mechanics in certain cases. Here is a thorough list of all Season 2 weapons.
List of Fortnite Season 2 weapons
This season, Fortnite’s loot pool has seen a number of changes, with many unvaulted items in particular. After the completely new weapons we saw at the start of last season, this season’s weapons may be reminiscent for some players. These re-releases have also been modified in certain cases to match the “Resistance” thematic of the season.
Unvaulted Fortnite Season 2 weapons
- Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle (Adjusted – semi-auto, fires faster, reduced damage, increased recoil)
- Drum Shotgun (Adjusted – fires slower, slightly increased damage, tighter spread, better falloff)
- Revolver (Adjusted – fires faster, reduced damage, higher accuracy)
- Remote Explosives (Adjusted – increased damage against vehicles)
- Thermal Scoped Revolver (Exotic weapon)
- Storm Scout Sniper Rifle (Exotic weapon)
- Shockwave Grenades
Returning Season 1 weapons
- Ranger Assault Rifle
- Striker Pump Shotgun
- Auto Shotgun
- Sidearm Pistol
- Stinger SMG
- Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper
- Shadow Tracker (Exotic weapon)
- Marksman Six Shooter (Exotic weapon)
- The Dub (Exotic weapon)
- Boom Sniper Rifle (Exotic weapon)
The Drum Shotgun should be able to satisfy the demand for an old favorite among fans who want to pack a powerful punch up close and personal. In addition, the Scoped AR has received a first-person ADS camera, similar to that of last season’s MK-7 Rifle. The Thermal Sniper Rifle is back for another season and should fit right in.
We hope that you enjoyed this list of Fortnite Season 2 weapons and have fun playing with them.
