All New Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Myths and Mortals
Along with the new ones, some weapons have made a comeback, while others have been vaulted for this season. Below is a list of all weapons added in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths and Mortals.
Thunderbolt of Zeus Fortnite weapon
Thunderbolt of Zeus is one of the new weapons added this season, and the base variant can be found scattered across the map. With the Thunderbolt of Zeus weapon, you can rise into the air and launch lightning bolts on your opponents. But as powerful as this weapon is, it has a cooldown period. The Thunderbolt of Zeus has three maximum charges and requires a cooldown between each one. To find the mythic version of this weapon, you must find and fight Zeus NPC around the map.
Gatekeeper Shotgun Fortnite weapon
The Gatekeeper Shotgun is another weapon added to the loot pool. The base variant can be found scattered across the map. To unlock the mythic version of the Gatekeeper Shotgun, players need to find and defeat Cerberus. The Gatekeeper Shotgun works best at close-range attacks, and players can quickly demolish opponents by hitting three rounds of aggressive shots.
Harbinger SMG Fortnite weapon
Harbinger SMG is another powerful weapon that players can yield. The regular version can be found across the map. To get the mythic version, you need to defeat Hades himself. The weapon is highly accurate when shot, and the recoil rate increases as you shoot more bullets.
Huntress DMR Fortnite weapon
The Huntress DMR, inspired by Artemis, has been added to the loot pool this season. Players can find the base variant scattered across the island. To get the mythic version, you must find and defeat Zeus. Since a DMR is a combination of Assault rifle and Sniper, this weapon works great in long-ranged attacks.
