New Named Locations & Mythic Weapons
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 isn’t the first time we’ve seen Mythic Weapons. They’ve shown up in previous limited-time events, such as the lightsabers during the Star Wars crossover. Their first appearance was the Infinity Blade, which was removed and vaulted within days due to being horribly overpowered.
Epic’s gone back to the drawing board for Chapter 2 Season 2. Five new Mythic Weapons have been added into the game, these are:
- Brutus’ Minigun
- Meowscle’s Peow Peow Rifle (Heavy Assault Rifle)
- Midas’ Drum Gun
- Skye’s Assault Rifle (Scar)
- TNTina’s Ka-Boom Bow (Boom Bow)
Each and every one of these Mythic Weapons, as you’d expect, has boosted stats over its standard counterpart. Brutus’ Minigun delivers more damage than a normal Minigun and with pinpoint precision. Skye’s Scar has a higher damage output and faster fire rate, and TNTina’s Ka-Boom Bow has recharges ammo over time, so you won’t have to hunt down explosives.
These offer a massive advantage to yourself (or your team) if you can get your hands on one. With only one of each Mythic Weapon being obtainable in a game — by defeating the Agency Boss at a named location — it makes these new named locations well worth braving and checking out.
Throwing the Mythic Weapons on top of all the unvaulted weapons is, again, pretty huge. It shakes up the meta further, and we question how long it’ll be until these Mythic rarity firearms get nerfed. The Drum Gun and Minigun, in particular, feel stupidly overpowered right now, but only time will tell.
