As the start of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 arrives, players are wondering what they can expect from the weaponry. We know that the season’s theme will be Wrecked, with a wasteland aesthetic. There is an apocalyptic racing area —Nitro Drome — other new locations, new vehicles, and weaponry! First, let’s check out all vaulted and unvaulted weapons for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.
All Rumored & Confirmed Weapons for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
Vaulted Weapons
Since the Chapter 5 Season 2 theme of Ancient Greek gods is over, we can be sure that the gods’ mythic weapons and any related weapons will be vaulted. This means we will no longer have the following:
- Wings of Icarus
- Thunderbolt of Zeuss
- Gatekeeper Shotgun including Cerebus’s Mythic
- Harbinger SMG including Hades’ Mythic
- Warforged Assault Rifle including Ares’ Mythic
- Huntress DMR including Zeus’ Mythic
- Thunder Burst SMG
- Reaper Sniper Rifle
- Chains of Hades
- Frenzy Auto Shotgun (except Mythic apparently)
- Drum Gun
- Nemesis AR
Of course, the Star Wars crossover weapons will also disappear including the blasters and the bowcaster. It also goes without saying that the Waterbending scroll will also say its final farewell.
All New, Returning, and Unvaulted Chapter 5 Season 3 Weapons
So what will take their place? Well, we will see a range of interesting Fallout/post-apocalypse style weapons including:
- Ranger Shotgun (unvaulted)
- Flamethrower (new)
- Spear Harpoon Gun (new)
- Laser Rifle (new)
- Minigun (unvaulted)
- Conductor Hand Cannon (new)
- Megalo Don’s Combat Shotgun (new Mythic)
- Combat Shotgun (returning)
- Combat AR (returning)
- The Machinist’s Combat AR (new Mythic)
- Crossbow Moonflak (new)
- Boombolt Crossbow (new)
- Nitro Queen TNT (new)
- Grenade Launcher Turret (new)
- Machine Gun Turret (new)
Players have also been debating on Reddit about whether or not we will see the Fatman nukes during the Fallout crossover. Perhaps something a little less overpowered like the return of the rocket launcher or rocket ram, perhaps?
As that is all we know about handheld weaponry right now, let’s move on to weapon mods. There is no sign of weapon benches yet but modded vehicles now seem like the likely choice. This makes sense as this season does seem focused on Mad Max-style battles with vehicles. Possible vehicle mods include:
- Gun attachment mods
- Off-road tires
- Environmental tire mods
- Sturdy tire mods
- Bumper mods
- Booster mods
This looks like a truly explosive and exciting new season of Fortnite! Come back for the latest updates, but until then check out the skins you might see coming in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. We’ve also got guides on the new season’s battle pass, quests, and install size.
